This astonishing home sees modern architecture harmonise with natural beauty to create an amazing place to live.

Nestled discreetly off the coast road in Stiffkey, Norfolk sits Highfield, an exceptional dwelling boasting fine architecture and gorgeous interiors – a true labour of love.

The property is for sale for £2,250,000 and is marketed by Sowerbys, Holt at OnTheMarket.

The five-bedroom home comes with seven acres of varied grounds and with accommodation approaching 3,000sqft, including multiple receptions, annexes and garden studios.

The accommodation begins with a spacious entrance hall leading to the main part of the house. A library features a seating area with far-reaching views and a woodburning stove.

An open plan kitchen/dining room is anchored by a central island with breakfast bar and benefits from direct access to the sheltered dining terrace.

The main kitchen is complemented by a second kitchen, which doubles as an overflow when entertaining a large group.

A downstairs bedroom wing includes three double bedrooms with fixed beds built next to large windows. These three bedrooms are served by the ground floor family bathroom.

The first floor is dedicated to a lavish master suite with windows providing outstanding vistas of the garden and coast, complemented by a bathroom with walk-in shower and separate bath.

In addition to the main accommodation, Highfield boasts two substantial outbuildings – a garden studio, featuring a kitchenette and shower room with a studio space, and a detached annexe to the front, providing yet more studio style accommodation with a kitchen/lounge/bedroom served by an en-suite shower room.

This annexe benefits from separate access and a private garden, making it ideal as a holiday let.

The property’s plot is flanked by private woodland to one side and paths dissecting patches of wildflower meadows to the other.

The centre and majority of the plot is kept to a lawn stretching from the courtyard off the kitchen down to a natural swimming pool towards the rear of the grounds. An art studio is also found hidden toward the rear of the garden.

Highfield is set between the rugged Norfolk Coast and the undulating landscape of the Stiffkey Valley.

Stiffkey is a pretty Norfolk coastal village between Wells-next-the-Sea and Blakeney. The village is famous for its ‘Stewkey Blues’, a local blue cockle.

It has an excellent pub, the Red Lion, with real ale and good food. There’s also a much-loved village store serving coffee, pastries and everyday essentials alongside homeware and gifts.

The village is well placed for exploring the North Norfolk coast and there are some superb coastal walks nearby as well as excellent sailing.
