The Property
Highfield is an attractive five bedroom property occupying a fabulous elevated position above Haydon Bridge with sensational south-facing views over the Tyne Valley. The property has a layout designed to make the absolute most of the glorious views, and is also incredibly versatile; the layout allows the house to be configured as a single substantial property, or as a lovely three bedroom main house with a large, self-contained two bedroom annexe. Highfield is beautifully appointed throughout with elegant and tasteful décor. In addition to the private gardens, there are also two small paddocks positioned to the rear, perfect for a horse or pony.
Nestled into the gentle slope of the landscape, Highfield positions the principal living accommodation to emphasise the superb countryside views. Pretty external stairs lead up from the driveway to the front door, opening to the entrance hall. A short flight of stairs leads up to the principal living accommodation within the west wing of Highfield. The lovely and spacious sitting room is positioned to the front elevation. French doors with further glazed side panels frame remarkable views and sweep open to the balcony outside. This is a stunning spot to relax, surrounded by the sleek and modern glazed balustrade. To the rear is the impressive kitchen/dining room, finished to an exceptional standard with gorgeous contemporary cabinetry and a central island in stylish contrasting colour palettes. The kitchen boasts a host of quality appliances and the island has space for casual dining beneath café-style lighting. There is space for a separate dining table and chairs, as well as comfortable seating. French doors leads out to the decked terrace and gardens beyond. The kitchen is complemented by an adjoining utility room. There is a shower room positioned off the hall within the west wing.
Further stairs lead to the upper floor of the east wing and the bedroom accommodation for the main house. The principal suite incorporates a double bedroom with a huge dressing room fitted with an abundance of storage in a contemporary style. The views from both the bedroom and dressing room are amazing. The dressing room connects to the generously proportioned and well-appointed en- suite bathroom. There is a second large double bedroom on this floor, along with a study/single bedroom.
The flexible accommodation of the annexe occupies the lower floor of the east wing, yet the elevated position still brings great views to the south-facing bedrooms. This part of the house can be combined with the main house to offer a substantial family home, or it can be closed off to create a self-contained annexe. The sitting room has French doors to the decked terrace allowing independent access if required. The kitchen is fully-stocked and there is space for a table and chairs to one side. Two double bedrooms face south to bring a wonderful outlook, and a beautifully appointed bathroom completes the accommodation.
Externally
A discreet staircase leads from the central hall down to the integral double garage. There is further parking space on the black paved driveway which sweeps down to the gated entrance. The main gardens sit to the rear of Highfield. An expansive decked terrace is perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining, giving way to lawns that are sheltered by mature trees and hedging.
Beyond the gardens to the north are two paddocks, between them extending to around 0.41 acres. This land rises gently away from the house and is well-kept. The east paddock is fully bordered with fencing and there is a field shelter to one corner. The west paddock is slightly larger, with a mix of fencing and hedging to the south, east and west boundaries. This land is perfect for anyone with an equestrian interest looking to house a pony or horse. Alternatively, the land could provide a lovely smallholding to grow produce and look after chickens.
