棲居美學2 阿什伯恩一棟迷人的家庭住宅內

Hi, I'm T.Taylor, Founding Country. I'm here today to introduce to you Highfield House. It's located in the hamlet of Somersault Herbert DE6. Now, I really love this package. It's a bit of a rarity. We've got a plot which extends to one and a half acres, and it's incredibly economical for a property of this type. We have ground source heat pump, solar panels with backup battery, insulated render to the house, and all in all, resulting in an A-rated EPC. So Highfield House has been extended by the current owners, creating this fantastic entrance lobby area, which leads into this multifunctional room. It has bifold doors which lead to the garden, and have views over surrounding countryside. Tucked away just around the corner when we first walk in is a cloak-stroke boot room area, which leads to a laundry room, and also has integral access to the garage. Personally, I really love this garage, having an electric door to the front. We have an electric car charging point. And it's also where the batteries are for the solar panels. Then we have this fantastic open-plan style leading into this formal sitting room. And the same again, leading round into the kitchen. The stone-flag floor continues into the kitchen with underfloor heating. This kitchen is a light and spacious environment, fantastic views over the garden surrounding countryside. We have an extensive range of granite surfaces with an inset one and a half sink unit. We have an induction hob, a double electric fan-assisted oven with warming plate. Something that I really like back here is this cupboard, ideal for appliances with power. Behind me is a walk-in pantry. We then have an integrated fridge, a dishwasher, a freezer, and a bin store. And then continuing with the open-plan nature of this house, the kitchen leads into this dining room area, having a window to the front, and superb far-reaching views. Leaving the dining room, we're into the original entrance hallway to the house, having a guest cloak room. We've got a staircase off to the first floor. And then we're through into this beautifully proportioned sitting room, having a wood-burning stove. I love the views to the front aspect, and also this open-plan nature connecting back into the garden room. So leaving the garden room by these beautiful bi-fold doors, we step onto this extensive patio, which gives way to this fantastic lawn garden, which extends to 1.5 acres. A lot of care and attention has been put into the development of this garden. It now forms a beautiful environment that's actually very easy to manage. There's an extensive range of well-stocked flowery abatious borders. There's an established wooded area, and a unique hobbit-style garden store. So the front of the property is a driveway with an electric-gated entrance, leading to a turning circle and the garage. Additionally, there's a detached steel-framed building, ideal for the motor enthusiast or those with a caravan, motorhome or boat. The property sits in a highly convenient location, 10 minutes from Ashbourne and 5 minutes from the A50. Commuting is easy to the nearby cities of Derby, Nottingham, Leicester and Birmingham. The property is also well-placed for mainline train connections to London and to East Midlands Airport. For the first floor landing, there's a fitted study. We have an oak and glazed handrail balustrade, and then again, views to the front aspect. Leading off the landing, there are two double bedrooms, a shower room and a principal bedroom. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect with fitted wardrobes and a fantastic ensuite bathroom. This really is a beautiful and extensive lawn garden with tremendous versatility. We have a separate gated entrance, and the current owners have used this space to accommodate marquees and gatherings. As I said, the plot extends to approximately 1.5 acres, and maintenance is extremely easy. We have two robotic lawn mowers called Dennis and Maggie, which can be purchased with the property. Before we finish, one last surprise in store at this beautiful summer house with a unique feature. What a fantastic feature. A great place to have a glass of fizz and rotate this to face the sun throughout the day. Well, I hope you enjoyed the tour of this fantastic property, Highfield House. If you have any questions or you'd like to arrange a viewing, then please get in touch with me on the details that follow.
