3 Highfield Lodge Located in leafy, prestigious Wightwick, a premier address on the western edge of Wolverhampton, this property is a truly exceptional find. A prime example of the fine early twentieth century architecture which characterises this area of the city, this detached residence of distinction occupies a secluded and exclusive position on a private road shared by a select number of other similarly refined homes. Behind the secure electric gates, the circular driveway is enclosed by trees creating a very private ambience at the front of the property, and upon entering one is immediately struck by the restored parquet wood flooring of the hall which sets the tone for the very high specification and quality of finish throughout. The soothing interior décor is carefully implemented in elegant neutral shades to create balance between the various contemporary and traditional aspects of the property. Across the ground floor the fabulous Clive Christian kitchen flows onto the charming morning room, ideal for family life, sitting alongside the impressive formal dining room, stylish, contemporary lounge with bar area and the calming study or second lounge. In addition to the breath-taking scale and luxury of the stunning master suite, the property offers four further double bedrooms including one fabulous en suite. To the rear, the extensive gardens roll away from the south-facing terrace with brick-built greenhouse, and plenty of additional storage and parking is available across the two variously sized garages located at the front of the property, alongside the tiled summerhouse. The property enjoys the considerable benefit of approved planning permission to add a leisure complex, housing an indoor heated pool, spa and gym. Accommodation Entry at the front of the property onto the lovely semi-circular porch, fully glazed with the original 1930s panels and offering a first look at the stunning wood parquet flooring through this space onto the impressive hall. Here, the considerable expanse of parquet has been painstakingly reconditioned, restored to its former glory to provide a lovely richness in contrast to the soothing, neutral tones adorning the walls. The wide hallway offers central access onto the ground-floor accommodation, with the beautiful breakfast kitchen situated to the left at the end of the space. Boasting prestigious Clive Christian fixtures in rich cream with solid hardwood worktops, the kitchen is perfectly proportioned, very spacious yet also intimate and relaxed. At the centre of the space a large island unit topped with beveledged, gleaming black granite offers a breakfast bar and considerable wine storage beneath. The excellent range of integrated appliances comprises a Neff microwave, cabinet dishwasher, a substantial Falcon professional steel range cooker and a concealed full-height fridge and freezer, alongside slide-out storage at the side of the space. A white, scalloped Shaws Belfast sink occupies space beneath the large window while attractive oak strip flooring extends through a wide archway to the morning room. The archway allows plenty of daylight to light to traverse the morning room from leaded French doors, lighting the kitchen and creating a very usable openplan space. A traditional Cornish range cooker occupies the fireplace, thought to be over 120 years old and fitted with a glass screen and gas fire, flanked by storage to visually complement the kitchen units. Also to the left at the rear of the hall, the large formal dining room offers plenty of space for a substantial dining table upon the glorious aged oak flooring. A sizeable bay style window with French doors floods the room with light while the tastefully half-panelled walls, in light, soothing tones encourage a bright and airy atmosphere. An obliquely-placed open fire sits amongst a chic solid grey marble fireplace to complement both the modern and traditional features. The capacious, L-shaped main lounge, adjacent, is furnished with a very stylish and contemporary bar before the French doors. Dark grey gloss floor tiles extend across the bar area, which features storage, granite surfaces and a wine cooler. In addition to subtle floor-level lighting, the space boasts an integrated audio system and a beautiful lounge area featuring a contemporary inset gas fire to the wall. Across the hall, the downstairs cloakroom is similarly contemporary, with white fixtures and a taupe feature radiator to adorn the wall. At the front of the property a door reveals the spacious and calming study, benefitting from a fitted desk and storage in a sleek modern style with white internal shutters to the large window. A focal point to the sizeable space is provided by an open fireplace behind a glass screen, with a black hearth and cream stone surround. A large cloak store is also situated to the right of the hall. From the stunning hall, the staircase rises from two sweeping, curved lower steps constructed in oak to the bright landing beneath a beautiful, intricately leaded 1930s window. The robust timber balustrade is also suggestive of the bygone Art Deco era. To the left of the stairs, the fourth bedroom is a fabulous double furnished with a range of elegant white wardrobes. A large, original leaded window overlooks the driveway and surrounding trees at the front aspect, and at the left-hand end of the landing the family bathroom is designed to reflect the restrained elegance and quality which characterises this very special property with a white suite. The room is well-lit by double windows and finished in neutral, modern tiles. Also to the left at the rear of the property, the second bedroom is a charming double benefitting from garden views and an excellent en suite. This stylish white Heritage suite includes a luxurious panel bath with shower attachment, surrounded by large mirrors to create an opulent sense of space. Adjacent along the landing bedroom three, a further generous double, features a bay-style window of considerable size toward the garden and minimalist handle-less wardrobes in a chic shade of stone. Gloss wood-effect drawers provide a striking contrast against the complementing bedside units and dresser, and the space boasts a striking modern inset gas fire with stone surround. The spectacular master suite is situated to the right, a wonderfully light and contemporary space bisected by a low partial wall, providing a setting for fitted storage in on-trend colours to complement the additional garment storage and creating a distinct space for seating before a stylish modern gas fire. The en suite is preceded by a fabulous dressing area fitted with a long vanity unit supporting twin stone wash-hand basins. A lovely window seat creates a luxurious, relaxed ambience, with a step at the end of the space leading up into the shower area with low-level WC. At the front of the property, bedroom five is currently furnished as a dressing room, with a selection of cream wardrobes and a large leaded window onto the driveway. Outside This exceptional home is accessed via a tar macadam driveway, secured by electric gates and a video intercom system onto the large circular parking area, framed by a range of lovely mature trees to create a private, secluded ambience. At the centre a large tree provides a centrepiece before the very attractive 1930s façade of the property, finished in cream render and displaying intricate original leaded glazing. To the left of the house, double timber doors open to reveal the storage garage, with a laundry at the rear offering space and provisions for a washing machine and dryer, whilst an adjacent door opens into the boiler room. A brick-built summerhouse is also available to the side of the building before the larger vehicle garage, a modern replacement for the original garage with double automatic doors and plenty of vehicle space. To the rear of the property the vast lawn rolls away from the recently laid natural stone sun terrace, a manicured expanse of green framed by mature trees including oak trees. Subtle post lighting enhances the outdoor space with additional security lighting to the buildings.
