Completed in 2008 and designed by the current owners, this substantial detached home has a strong architectural identity, generous proportions and a layout created for family life and entertaining.

The approach sets the tone. A broad drive rises towards the house, opening into an extensive parking area beside the garages. Lawns sweep across the front, softened by mature planting, a small pond and the privacy that comes with around three acres of grounds.
A circular tower forms the memorable entrance. Inside, the reception hall introduces the home's unusual geometry and connects directly with the integral triple garage. The house then unfolds across several levels, each arranged to make the most of space, natural light and the landscape beyond.

At the heart of Highfield is a spacious kitchen overlooking the garden. Marble worktops bring natural elegance, while the large island provides generous preparation space and a second sink. An American-style fridge freezer, range cooker, integrated dishwasher and wine cooler complete a kitchen made for serious cooking without losing its relaxed character.

Window seats create places to pause and enjoy the outlook, while the adjoining dining area is warmed by a substantial log-burning stove. The open connection between these rooms allows conversation to flow easily, whether breakfast is being served quietly or friends are gathered for the evening.

The living room has an impressive sense of scale. Generous windows draw in the light and frame the views from several angles, while a gas fire gives the room a warm focal point. A balcony extends across the front of the house, offering a natural place for morning coffee, evening drinks or watching the weather move across the countryside.

Within the circular tower is an intimate additional room, currently used for drinks and dining. Its curved walls and direct access to the balcony give it a distinctive atmosphere, equally suited to a quiet supper or a celebratory gathering.

A spiral staircase descends from the dining area to a substantial games room. Large enough for a full-size snooker table, it offers flexibility as a cinema room, studio, gym or informal entertaining space. Nearby, a utility room, WC and extensive storage provide the practical support expected of a home of this size.

The bedroom accommodation offers privacy for family and guests. One level includes a generous double bedroom with built-in storage and its own bathroom, creating a comfortable guest suite. A separate office could also serve as an occasional bedroom, study or children's room.

The principal suite occupies its own floor and feels spacious and secluded. There is room for a private sitting area, extensive storage, a walk-in wardrobe and dressing room, as well as an en-suite bathroom with a bath. A private balcony overlooks the gardens, while the curved tower room is currently used as a gym and could become a reading room, studio or additional dressing space.

Further double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with a walk-in shower. One bedroom also opens onto its own balcony, giving guests or family members a quiet connection with the garden and surrounding views. The wider accommodation extends to four or more bedrooms and four bathrooms, with considerable scope to adapt the arrangement.

The south-facing gardens are broad and designed to be manageable despite their scale. Lawns extend to the front and rear, with a small orchard and a dedicated wildlife area rising along the hill behind the house. The setting encourages outdoor living, from summer lunches and children's games to quieter mornings spent among birdsong and changing light.

Garaging is a particular strength. The integral triple garage has electric doors, lighting and direct access to the house, while a second, extensive garage building sits around 50 metres away. Together, they provide exceptional space for a car collection, workshop, hobbies or secure storage.

Highfield was also designed with efficiency in mind. A ground source heat pump serves wet underfloor heating throughout, while solar panels contribute to the hot water supply. Mains electricity and water are connected, with LPG serving the hob and living room fire, and private drainage. Ultrafast B4RN broadband and good mobile coverage support modern working from home.

Over Kellet is a well-regarded village with a friendly community, local walks and a village pub within easy reach. Regular buses connect with Carnforth and Lancaster, while four supermarkets are within two miles, making everyday errands straightforward.
Carnforth provides shops, rail links and practical amenities, while Lancaster offers schools, cultural attractions, restaurants and independent businesses. Access to the M6 places the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and the wider North West within comfortable reach, with Manchester Airport around an hour away.

Highfield brings together architectural individuality, far-reaching views and an unusually versatile arrangement of living space. It is a home with presence and warmth, designed for those who value privacy, generous entertaining spaces and the freedom to shape a house around the way they truly live.
