Introducton
Highfield House (also known as Plot 4) is a high-specification, contemporary home which is ready for occupation having been completed in June 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 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 was 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. This has been fitted with double ovens, a warming drawer, an integral microwave, a wine cooler, a larder fridge and a larger freezer.

The living room has a second set of bi-fold doors to the patio as well as a fireplace with a Stovax log burner.

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

The first-floor bedrooms 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 has a cubicle shower and a separate bath.

Internal specifications include a quality modern kitchen design with stone surfaces 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 and an air-source heat pump, reducing fuel bills and future proofing towards the proposed 2025 Future Homes Standard.
