Occupying a good-size plot within the much desired
village of Lindfield, this detached family home offers
an abundance of space inside and out. The Edwardian
property is arranged over two floors and offers more
than 2100 sq ft, with the added benefit of a detached
garden studio which is a fantastic addition for home
working. The house was bought by the vendor as
a project and has been subject to a meticulous
renovation which has kept the character of the home
while modernising it throughout. As well as the internal
improvements, the exterior has been updated to include
a new driveway, landscaping and plenty of space to
enjoy the outside.

Interior:
The outside offers excellent kerb appeal and hints at the
stylish interiors within. The full renovation included new
electrics, plumbing, heating and the partial conversion
of the garage to a downstairs bedroom, as well as
a fully cosmetic makeover with virtually every room
having a full facelift. The interiors are a riot of pattern
and colour, from the tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms
to the wallpaper in the downstairs cloakroom. Despite
being modernised for the 21st century, much of the
Edwardian character remains: there’s parquet flooring
in the reception rooms and hallway, wooden doors and
fireplace surrounds, picture rails and wall panelling.
This was a real passion project, and no expense has
been spared on updating this home for the modern day.
The accommodation is a great size for families but
is equally well suited to couples desiring extra space.
The ground floor is entered via an entrance hall with
good storage, which leads to a formal sitting room, a
25ft family room, a ground floor bedroom with en suite
shower room (perfect for visiting guests), and the open
plan kitchen and dining room to the rear, which has
an adjoining pantry and laundry room. Upstairs the
principal bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and an en
suite shower room, while the remaining three bedrooms
share a family bathroom.

Outside

A lovely, leafy front garden provides a welcoming first
impression, with the brick driveway wrapping around
a central lawn and the wooden fencing and garage
door painted the same colour as the front door and
windows – the house is certainly one of the best looking
houses on the street. There’s plenty of private parking on
the driveway and in front of the garage, which has the
traditional Edwardian double doors. The rear garden
is south facing and has been beautifully landscaped
to create an oasis to relax in, with the sizeable terrace
stepping down to a lawn bordered by mature trees
providing a high degree of privacy. A delightful feature
has been made of the stream, which is crossed by a
grass bridge leading to a sunken trampoline, a second
seating area and – tucked away behind lush borders –
the detached studio, which is sound proof and has light
and power.
