Highfield House, 54, Wellsway, Somerset, BA2 4SA

A beautifully presented detached, double-fronted Victoria villa on the south side of the city, with off street parking and a double garage.

Description Highfield House is an exceptional detached, double-fronted Victorian villa offering almost 3,400 sq ft of elegant and versatile family space, set within a large plot.

The living accommodation is arranged over predominantly two floors and offers generous proportions throughout.

The property retains a wealth of period charm, now beautifully enhanced by thoughtful modernisation carried out by the current owners.

Entered via a large and welcoming hallway, the home immediately exudes character and is full of natural light.

The scale of the house is immediately apparent, with the entrance opening in to a large central hall with the stairs ahead.

The accommodation on the ground floor flows around this central hall, with a living room on the right hand side showcasing varnished wooden floors, a period fireplace, ornate cornicing, built in cabinetry and plantation shutters on the large bay windows.

Across the hall is the expansive kitchen/dining room, which is an incredible space.

Two rooms, combined as one, this space flows beautifully and stretches from the front to the back of the house, with lots of natural light.

The bespoke kitchen is shaker style with metro wall tiles and beautiful back-lit cabinetry. An oversized island sits in the centre of the kitchen with further storage and a breakfast bar at one end.

From here leads the dining room with a woodburner set within the fireplace, another bay window and French doors leading out to a balcony overlooking the garden.

Completing this floor is a large playroom/study with views over the garden, and a downstairs cloakroom.

Upstairs, the house has a wonderfully generous footprint with five large bedrooms arranged around the central landing.

Two bedroom share a ‘Jack and Jill’ en suite shower room, three bedrooms across the landing have use of the large family bathroom. A significant loft is accessible via a pull down ladder.

The lower ground floor provides a substantial and flexible space, currently utilised as a games/music room, along with a large utility room and stores. Garden access is also available from this floor.

The house sits centrally within a wide, well-screened plot and the house is immediately attractive to the eye. The rear garden is largely laid to lawn and surrounded by mature trees and shrubs.

Deep borders and flower beds are full of colour and provide an attractive backdrop to this substantial garden.

The garden is private and well-screened, perfect for families and entertaining, with a vegetable garden, patio and play area.
