FORMAL GROUNDS & PADDOCK LA Highfields House is set in extensive formal gardens and grassland, totaling 6.10 acres/2.48 hectares, or thereabouts. An immediate indication of the stature of the house and calibre of the setting, is offered by the long tree lined tarmacadamed avenue approach, culminating in gravelled outer and inner courtyards and a formal vehicle court set to the main south elevation of the property.
The mainly lawned formal garden is relieved by a circular bed and separate circular coniferous shrubberies which are protected and enclosed by a belt of coniferous trees and shrubs and densely stocked shrubbery borders.
TENNIS COURT Access from the formal garden through a hand gate leads to a hard surface tennis court.
The main drive also leads to the stable courtyard and day to day entrance/parking area and service yard.
A spinney area is set to the west of the house offering good natural protection and screening to the property. Beyond the formal south garden there is an area of good paddock land ideal for equestrian use.
HEATED OUTDOOR SWIMMING POO Set in a sheltered south facing walled courtyard area, there is a heated outdoor swimming pool.
We understand there are structural footings beneath the pool terrace constructed to support a covered structure above the pool courtyard.
