Highfield House, Grove View, Offton, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP8

INTRODUCTON
Highfield House  (also known as Plot 4) is a high-specification, contemporary home which will be ready for occupation in May 2024.

The property is one of five new homes on a private drive in a quiet rural location in the village of Offton, between Ipswich and Hadleigh. All the properties in the development will enjoy rolling views across their rear gardens towards Tollemache Hall Grove in the distance, and are situated in a peaceful setting with virtually no interruption from traffic.
 
The property is being constructed by Suffolk based bespoke developers and builders, JP STOCK HOMES who have a rich history in high-quality construction going back to the 1950s.
 
LAYOUT AND SPECIFICATION
The ground floor has been designed to maximise the views to the rear, with the open-plan kitchen/dining room having French doors and bi-fold doors overlooking the garden. The living room will have a second set of bi-fold doors to the patio as well as an open fireplace with a log burner.

The study at the front of the house will be large enough to use as a play room and there will be a WC off the entrance hall.

The first-floor bedrooms will make even more of the rural views with highlights including a large master suite with a walk-through dressing room and a Juliet balcony, a good-sized landing with a front-facing window and guest bedroom with its own en-suite shower room. The family bathroom will have a cubicle shower and a separate bath.

Internal specifications will include a quality modern kitchen design with a choice of colour and surfaces (subject to timing) and underfloor heating on both the ground and first floor. The property has been built to Building Regulations 2023 with a high standard of energy efficiency, reducing fuel bills and future proofing towards the proposed 2025 Future Homes Standard.

OUTSIDE
The grounds will total just over a quarter of an acre and will include a detached double garage, a landscaped front garden with estate fencing and generous (block-paved) parking and turning space for at least six cars.

At the rear there will be a floodlit, elevated natural stone patio spanning the width of the house and connecting to the garage pedestrian door. A 70-foot lawn will gently descend towards a post and rail fence on the rear boundary.

LOCATION
Grove View is found in a rural position with little in the way of passing traffic and with just two existing residential neighbours.

Nearby villages include Somersham, Elmsett and Bildeston, the latter of these being just over three miles away and which has two good pubs and a shop/post office.
