The expansive interiors at Higginson House have been the subject of a careful refurbishment care of local craftsmen, who have introduced a palette of contemporary materials and luxury fittings that sit harmoniously alongside original features. Conveniently located and carefully created, this is a home for the most discerning of residents.
The three-storey house has been thoughtfully designed to create large sociable spaces that are flooded with natural light, as well as quiet areas for peaceful moments. There is a private courtyard garden, off-street parking for two cars and a beautifully landscaped front garden.
The house opens to a light-filled entrance hall that leads to the open-plan kitchen in one direction, a vast reception room in the other, the courtyard straight ahead and a utility room and cloakroom at the end of the property.
The kitchen has been sumptuously appointed with natural stone underfoot and a vaulted ceiling above. The bespoke cabinetry and island have been beautifully made and provide the stage for the most ambitious home cook. A Smeg induction range double oven, wine cooler, Neff fridge freezer, dishwasher and boiling tap are a few of the mod cons that have been added. There is also a full height pull out larder to store everything and keep the surfaces clutter free.
Off the hallway you find a beautiful reception room that has lots of nods to the original Elizabethan Manor - fully restored original ceilings, stone mullion windows and original solid oak parquet flooring that has been carefully stripped back and fully refurbished with hardwax oil finish. The original fireplace sits front and centre of the room and will be admired by every guest that comes over to Higginson House.
On the first floor you find two bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, and a bathroom. The main bedroom is more like a luxury hotel suite than a normal bedroom. There is a large balcony from where you can enjoy the first coffee of the day or the first glass of wine on an evening. The dark oak flooring is the perfect backdrop for a show stopping interior.
The second floor has been thoughtfully laid out to provide two bedrooms and a bathroom. This floor is ideal for guests, children or as a place to work during the day and relax on an evening. The flexibility of this floor is a real asset.
