A substantial 6-bedroom, 1930’s detached house benefitting from a loft conversion in 2025 and extensive grounds, which include parking, garaging and beautiful gardens, on Highfield Avenue.
This handsome and imposing double fronted house, occupies a prominent position within this leafy and desirable residential area, overlooking Hurst Park Avenue.
Built in the 1930s, this impressive house stands detached on a broad and generous plot with large mature gardens. The property has been extended twice, and a substantial loft conversion was recently completed in 2025 to provide contemporary second floor accommodation with exceptional views of the surrounding area. Accommodation now extends to an impressive 2000 sqft, retains some charming features typical of the 1930’s era and provides a practical and modern layout suited for families.
The property sits behind a paved driveway, which provides parking for three or four vehicles and leads to a set-back garage and the garden. An electric charging point has been installed to the side.
The accommodation is well-maintained and found in good decorative order. The ground floor accommodation includes a spacious reception hall, an open plan kitchen/dining room with a bay window and a well-equipped kitchen. An elegant bay-fronted sitting room with a period fireplace and an attractive wood floor connects into an expansive, part-glazed vaulted extension with views down and access to the garden. An inner lobby with a WC completes this level.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to a family bathroom suite and four bedrooms. Original wood floors continue throughout this level.
The second-floor loft conversion adds a modern touch to the property and comprises two impressive rooms and a luxurious Jack & Jill bathroom with a walk-in shower cubicle and a freestanding bathtub. The finish of this conversion is of a high standard.
Outside, the large rear garden has been beautifully designed and continually maintained. Predominantly laid to lawn, there are numerous varieties of attractive mature trees and established plants and shrubs set to borders. There is a paved patio area off the garden room extension and a matching paved pathway leading to the garage and garden shed.
