High View Farm, Goffs Oak

The Tour:

Set behind the electric gates of High View Farm, a private enclave of just ten homes on the edge of Goffs Oak, this striking five-bedroom detached house makes a strong first impression. Twin gables, one in pale brick and the other clad in dark stained timber, give a crisp, contemporary take on the barn style architecture of the development.

The front door opens into a bright entrance hall where an oak and glass staircase rises to the first floor and Karndean herringbone flooring sets the tone for the ground floor. Generous storage under the stairs and a separate storage room keep everyday clutter neatly out of sight.

At the heart of the home lies a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living space of 37'8" x 20'2", designed for both everyday family life and effortless entertaining. Expansive glazing and sliding doors fitted with electric blinds open straight onto the terrace, drawing the garden into the room and flooding it with natural light. Zoned underfloor heating runs throughout, keeping the whole house comfortable in every season.

The sleek handleless kitchen is finished in matt charcoal with white Silestone worktops, a mirrored splashback and LED lighting beneath the wall cabinets. A substantial central island houses the induction hob beneath a flush ceiling extractor together with a wine fridge, and naturally becomes the focal point of the room. Integrated Bosch appliances include two ovens, one a combination oven and microwave, as well as a tall fridge/freezer and dishwasher, while an instant hot water tap completes the space.

A separate reception room of 19' x 13'8" offers a more relaxed setting, with a large roof lantern fitted with an electric blind, tall windows and sliding doors out to the terrace. A study, currently used as a home office and gym, would work equally well as a snug or playroom.

A utility room with Silestone worktops, a sink and space for a washing machine and separate dryer provides additional practicality. It has its own door to the garden, which is ideal for families. A guest cloakroom and an integral garage with an electric door and internal access from the hall complete the ground floor accommodation.

First Floor:

Upstairs, a bright landing with an oak and glass balustrade leads to five bedrooms. The principal suite is a true retreat, with a vaulted ceiling, a fully glazed gable fitted with electric blinds and a door opening onto its own private terrace, a sheltered spot with views over the treetops. A walk-in wardrobe lined with fitted storage from floor to ceiling leads through to a stylish en suite with a rainfall shower and a double vanity with twin basins.

Bedroom 2 also enjoys its own en suite shower room, while bedrooms 3, 4 and 5 are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom with a bath and rainfall shower over. Bedroom 3 is currently used as a study and library and bedrooms 4 and 5 both have vaulted ceilings. Every Velux window on the first floor is fitted with an electric blind.

Outdoor Space:

The landscaped rear garden measures approximately 68' x 57' and has been thoughtfully designed to complement the living spaces. A porcelain terrace runs beside the house before giving way to a lawn edged in Corten steel and deep borders of ornamental grasses and perennials, all kept in shape by drip irrigation. A pergola with electric blinds, lighting and power sockets creates a sheltered outdoor dining area for entertaining whatever the weather and a gate provides side access.

To the front, a block-paved driveway provides parking, with an EV charger beside the front door.

Design & Specification:

Every aspect of the home has been finished to a high standard. The bathrooms are dressed in large porcelain tiles with matt black brassware and wall mounted sanitaryware and Karndean herringbone flooring runs throughout the ground floor.

The house is built to modern construction standards and has an EPC rating of B. Zoned underfloor heating throughout is powered by an air source heat pump and the accommodation extends to approximately 2,912 sq ft, including the garage.
