About This Property
Designed by noted architectural historian and restoration consultant, Michael Bourne, Highfield exemplifies a deep appreciation and intimate knowledge of historic architectural composition and its elements. With its steep pitch hip roof, catslide roof slope on one end, tall chimney, and enclosed front entry, in form and style, Highfield is reminiscent of the vernacular farmhouses of southeastern England. Outstanding historic architectural details have been incorporated throughout the house’s interior and include a Hamstone fireplace surround and hearth (imported from Somerset, England) in the formal Living Room, antique doors fitted with both original antique and fine reproduction hardware, and a number of custom lighting fixtures. Together, these important details create an inviting warmth and add to its unique character. Highfield is a rare find!
The handsome two-story, many-paned window of the Great Room faces SSE and looks out over a stone patio and well-established perennial beds. Additionally, it provides a significant amount of passive solar gain keeping energy costs low – a compliment to the six-zone heating system. The more formal Living Room offers windows on the west gable that afford views of the surrounding fields, expansive grounds and woods. French doors on the south side lead to an ample screened, flagstone-floored porch. The large open Chef’s Kitchen, Den/Office, Mudroom, and half-bath complete the first floor. At the top of the stair, a balcony leads across the Great Room to the Master Suite where design details include a tray ceiling, built-in cupboards, dressing room, and spacious bath with separate vanities, shower, and soaking tub with Portuguese tile accents. The second bedroom with full bath is located at the east end of the balcony where a stair leads to the third-floor bedroom with walk-in closets. Access to the attic is found here. Accessible from the mudroom, the full basement includes a large ante-space, spacious laundry, playroom, and workshop. An unusual “bakery” building with wood-fired brick oven, walk-in refrigerator, and half-bath stands nearby. An additional utility shed is included. See summary of features in Documents Folder.The private 5-acre property is located only 3 miles from Chestertown which uniquely offers swift access to this historic, vibrant town. Chestertown, located in the County of Kent on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, is home to Washington College, tenth oldest college in America, the Schooner Sultana, a strong arts community, and live theater. This area is known worldwide for its beautiful Chester River, sailing, wildfowl, and agriculture. All, a short drive to four major airports, New York, Annapolis, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
