An exceptional opportunity to own a Victorian masterpiece. This period home in Orton Longueville was built in 1899 and offers 6000sqft of living accommodation. Six bedrooms, five bathrooms and seven reception rooms are split across four levels - this home is sensational.
Highfields sits on a generous plot of just under one acre and is surrounded by established lawns and mature trees, affording the home a high degree of privacy. It is set just off Oundle Road, which makes access to the city centre and train station within easy reach.
Highfields is approached by two sets of electric gates, to the left and right of the home. Naturally there is ample space for parking in the grounds of Highfields, and the garden is partitioned off with low level fencing and a mature tree border.
The home itself can be accessed via several entrances, with the principal entrance leading into the grand hallway. A sweeping staircase and high ceilings give an essence of grandeur, with the several reception rooms accessed from the hallway. There are two formal sitting rooms with bay fronted windows, both elegantly designed and presented beautifully. The dining room has two entrances and has been redecorated to a very high standard. Plenty of natural light floods the room and the character this home offers shines through with its ornate ceiling and traditional features.
The kitchen is fitted to a high standard, with plenty of cabinetry and storage. It's a bright room and great for entertaining friends and family as it leads out nicely onto a raised decking area which is perfect for seating. A large utility sits just off the kitchen, along with a WC.
Completing the accommodation this home offers on the ground floor are a further two reception rooms and another WC. The two rooms are currently used as both a study and a Sun room, yet given the sheer amount of reception rooms on offer at Highfields, its versatility shines through, giving its new owners the option to use each room as they please. If you are after underground storage or are an avid wine collector, a cellar provides an excellent space for this, accessed just off the lobby.
Moving upstairs and to the first floor, there are four bedrooms on this floor. Naturally, all these rooms are excessive double rooms, with three of them benefitting from their own en-suites. The master bedroom is beautiful and enjoys views of the grounds Highfields sits in. It also benefits from a dressing area and an en-suite, which is contemporary in nature. Bedrooms two and three also have their own contemporary en-suites, with bedroom four being an excellently sized room too.
Completing the accommodation on this level are another study, which could easily be used as a further bedroom and the family bathroom, which contains a freestanding bath, separate shower cubicle, toilet and hand basin.
The third floor of this home offers a further two bedrooms and a hobby room. Both of these rooms are double rooms, with one of them offering en-suite facilities too. The hobby room offers this home's new owner a great space to use this room as they please. It could be a music room, additional study/office or even a games room!
Outside, there is an outbuilding which has been restored by its current owner. It's a blank canvas but represents the opportunity to create a two bedroom self-contained home, which is perfect for extended family and friends to use when staying over. It does require completion by its new owners, with full details and further information available by contacting the office.
This remarkable home offers an exceptional opportunity to own one of Peterborough's finest homes. Set on a fantastic plot, with just under 6000sqft of internal accommodation, this substantial residence offers the opportunity to acquire a beautiful home.
