The House

You enter the house into a useful covered porch. Through the front door leads into the large hallway from where all of the ground floor rooms radiate.

The 28ft x 13ft living / dining room is to the right of the hallway and is double aspect with a window facing the front of the house and a large glazed sliding door opening out into the conservatory. The room is large enough to accommodate a variety of living and dining room furniture and has an working open fireplace – perfect for those colder months. The room next to the Living / Dining room is multi-functional as could be used as a separate dining room/snug/playroom or family room. This room has glazed doors to the conservatory and a door back into the hallway. The conservatory measures 23ft x 10ft and is heated with power and light meaning this space can be used all year round. The space can provide multi-functional use as a dining room/playroom or even possibly a games room. There is a door from the conservatory which opens onto the rear terrace.

The kitchen has been recently upgraded to a very high standard and is certainly a highlight of the house. It measures 20ft x 14ft and has two large windows which look out over the rear garden.

Back into the hallway from the kitchen is the study which overlooks the front garden and could also be used as a playroom or even as a downstairs bedroom if required. The downstairs cloakroom is also off the hallway and is larger than average with a WC, wash hand basin with storage cupboards under and a heated towel rail. There is space in this room to install a shower cubicle if desired, which twinned with the study (which could become a bedroom), would enable ground floor living for an elderly relative for example.

Outside

There is a double five bar gate at the front and driveway which provides off road parking for five to six vehicles. There is a 19ft x 18ft detached double garage set in front of the house with two up and over doors and power and light. My client uses the space primarily for storage and extra fridges and freezers. The garage though has enormous potential to be converted into a home office, games room or studio/hobby room. The pitch of the garage roof is an excellent height and could be converted into a two-storey self-contained annexe (subject to necessary planning).

There is a patch of lawn close to the front of the house and a variety of flower and shrub borders. Water tap in both front and back gardens.

The rear garden is certainly one of the selling features of this property, as not only is it beautiful to look out onto, but it is also exceptionally secluded and private. There are a variety of different seating areas throughout the garden which all capitalise on the south facing orientation, including a large terrace at the rear which allows for a variety of outside furniture to be positioned – perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining.

There is a flat piece of lawn at the bottom of the garden which is perfect for a variety of sports equipment including football goals and trampolines. There is also a summer house, shed and glass greenhouse – perfect for those green fingered gardeners. The front section of the rear garden is home to an array of mature trees and shrubs including colourful rhododendrons, magnolia, azalea and camelia and are configured in such a way that it has allowed my clients children and grandchildren many hours of hide and seek and tag amongst them. The garden is also home to three apple trees which provide a good quantity of fruit every year.


Agents Note

The house sits well within its plot and is set well back from the Crowborough Road and is screened with high hedges.

The views from the upstairs bedrooms is truly quite unique and spectacular with elevated views over Ashdown Forest and The South Downs.

There is potential to further extend the house to the side and rear and also huge potential to convert the detached double garage into a home office, games room, studio or even a self contained one or even two storey annexe.
