Property Description
Properties of this calibre are a rare find — Highfields is a remarkable home perfectly positioned to capture some of the most breathtaking views the Chew Valley has to offer. Tucked away on a pretty lane above the sought-after village of Compton Martin, it sits within The Wrangle, an exclusive hamlet of individual homes that offers both seclusion and exceptional convenience to major routes.
Arriving at Highfields through electric gates, you're immediately welcomed into a private haven. The sweeping driveway, framed by mature gardens, provides generous parking for multiple vehicles. Beyond, the home itself offers an outstanding level of flexible accommodation, blending modern family living with exceptional potential for further development.
On the ground floor, the welcoming lobby leads to a spacious reception hall, setting the tone for the elegant living spaces beyond. This level hosts four comfortable bedrooms, three stylish bathrooms, and an additional kitchen, dining, and living area — ideal for guests, extended family, or even separate living quarters. A well-equipped utility/boot room and a superb gym/storage area (with a large double garage and workshop adjoining) offer exciting opportunities for reconfiguration into further living space if desired.
The heart of the home is found upstairs, accessed by an oak and glass staircase. Here, an open-plan study or playroom opens into the magnificent main reception area, where oak floors and picture windows frame the jaw-dropping panoramic views of Chew Valley Lake and the rolling countryside beyond. A sleek, contemporary kitchen with Corian surfaces, integrated Miele appliances, and a stylish breakfast bar makes this an effortless space for both relaxing and entertaining. The adjoining sitting area, with its almost full-height windows and cosy wood-burning stove, creates a welcoming, light-filled environment all year round.
From here, French doors have been installed which provide the opportunity to lead out to a private rear terrace (future development). The master bedroom suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite shower room.
Further along the first floor, a stunning dual-aspect reception room with a contemporary, wood-burner fireplace opens through bi-fold doors to a sunny, secluded roof terrace above the garage. This has previously been used as a snooker room (with space for a full sized table) and a music rehearsal room. It is the perfect space for entertaining or simply unwinding as the sun sets over the valley. A library with custom built wooden shelving which could also be a study or additional living space complements this upper level beautifully.
Outside, the property continues to impress. A five-bar timber gate leads to a secondary driveway and equine yard with four stables to the east. The whole property sits on a three and a half acre site — ideal for equestrian pursuits or simply enjoying the open space.
Further pasture land of up to fourteen acres is available by separate negotiation on the other side of the lane, leading into a further two acres of the most beautiful bluebell woods.
Mature gardens with an apple orchard, a former heated swimming pool (no longer in use but ready for refurbishment if desired), and an abundance of mature planting and trees offer complete privacy and a deep connection to the surrounding landscape.
A “Control 4” system hub is installed that offers automated lighting, sound distribution and security cameras with scope for expansion with other services. Nest heating controls and smoke alarms are fitted throughout.
Location
Highfields enjoys an enviable setting above Compton Martin, a charming village with an excellent pub, village hall, and historic church.

Our Vendors say.....
"We moved from Cambridge and were looking for somewhere with a view.
We were totally mesmerised by Highfields which even included yachts on the lake and hot air balloons throughout the summer.
The house is in a totally unique location, looking over to the Welsh hills to the west, over the top of Bristol in the north and towards Wiltshire to the east.
We have never lived in a house that is so flexible - there are so many large rooms and its therefore great for parties and entertaining.
Highfields stands alone with absolute privacy but it is part of 'The Wrangle' community as well as being a member of Compton Martin, which has lots going on in the village hall and the Church.
The electric gates allow us to feel safe, we have cameras fitted which operate through control 4 automation which also controls the heating, lighting and sound.
We have horses and donkeys who love their stables and the yard. They spend their evenings looking out over the very productive orchard.
In short, it's a wonderful and mad family home"
