Description
Higham House is a very attractive semi-detached Grade II Listed period house, said to date from the 18th century with later additions, just moments away from the centre of popular Herstmonceux village. The house offers much charm and character and surprisingly spacious accommodation with a particularly generous ground floor layout. There are excellent parking facilities and a very pretty landscaped garden.
The elevations are of brick beneath a tile hung roof. There is an electric heating system.
The main features of the property include:
A paved driveway leads to the solid oak stable door, currently used as the main entrance, which leads into the recently refitted kitchen with a range of painted wooden kitchen units with coordinating wooden worktops and a freestanding central island. Excellent Smeg range cooker with overhead extractor; 1½ bowl stainless steel sink unit with mixer taps. Part panelled walls, painted timber ceiling beams, wood-effect vinyl flooring.
Two steps lead down to the excellent scullery with broom cupboard and further cupboard for coats and boots, a very useful addition to the main kitchen, with a further range of painted wooden wall and base units with coordinating wooden worktops incorporating 1½ bowl stainless steel sink with drainer. This room is currently home to the washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher and has a quarry tiled floor and a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams.
Steps down to the cellar, which features good head height and natural light and is an excellent additional storage facility for the house.
The attractive conservatory is situated off the main kitchen and provides a comfortable sitting/breakfast area overlooking the courtyard, with exposed bricks to one wall and underfloor heating.
A further door from the kitchen leads to the well-proportioned dining room with dado rail and painted brick fireplace and hearth, which is open but not currently in use. Glazed and lit crockery cupboard.
A timber panelled door leads through to the living room, with much character, having a quarry tiled floor, wide inglenook fireplace with copper hood and stone hearth. There are part panelled walls and exposed ceiling beams.
A wide oak panelled door leads out to the entrance porch with space for hanging coats and boots and providing an alternative door to the front of the house.
The inner hall is also accessible from the scullery and features part-panelled walls and wood-effect flooring. A door leads to the study/bedroom 4, a useful space with part-panelled walls, a range of bookshelves and an additional storage cupboard housing the consumer unit and electric meter.
The first floor landing features some exposed beams. A panelled door leads through to bedroom 3, an attractive and characterful room with exposed beams and wide oak flooring. This room currently houses a single/day bed but could serve as a small double or twin room.
The principal bedroom is well-proportioned and double aspect with wide oak floorboards and exposed beams, large built-in wardrobe cupboard, cast iron fireplace with painted mantel and tiled hearth. There is also hatch access to the loft which is partly boarded and useful for storage.
Bedroom 2 is another good sized double room with pine flooring, double aspect with views over the front garden and courtyard.
The family bathroom has recently been refitted and features a freestanding claw foot rolltop bath with chrome taps, separate tiled and glazed shower cubicle, pedestal wash basin with storage below, some storage shelves, WC, cupboard housing the water tank.
Outside
Driveway to the front of the house providing parking for several cars and culminating in a rear courtyard with additional parking and access to the detached single garage with attached garden store.
The gardens are a particular feature of the house and incorporate a variety of areas, including a central lawn, mature beds well stocked with plants and shrubs, raised terrace with a pretty summerhouse and space for entertaining and al fresco dining.
To the rear of the house and primarily approached from the conservatory is a small and secluded ‘courtyard garden’.
