Individually designed and commissioned by Robert Richardson Dees in 1902 for his nephew Robert Irwin Dees. Who later became Mayor of Wallsend and lived in the residence around 1908. This of course gives the connection to the surrounding streets and local area, known as Dees Avenue, Irwin Avenue and Richardson Park. The exceptional detached property is on a huge site and is quite probably one of the largest and finest in the locality. Originally the property had 16 bedrooms but has since been sympathetically re-designed offering an elegant period home and 3 excecutive apartments. Highfield House is an impressive, very grand looking detached residence, quietly situated just off Kings Road South, within its own private grounds. Full of original architectural features, charm and character. The Main House has its own gated entrance from Dees Avenue, with stunning mature grounds, carriage driveway and a detached garage. Briefly comprising, entrance vestibule, reception hallway, study, cloak/wc, 30ft cellar, drawing room/living room, dining room/snug, refitted modern kitchen, stunning gallery landing, 3 double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
