Fielden Lane, Crowborough

Coming to the market for the first time in over 30 years, this impressive detached family home-originally built by Connors Brothers in 1923 is set over three floors and located in the highly sought-after Warren area of Crowborough. Rich in character, the property boasts a wealth of original features including elegant fireplaces in most rooms, an original balcony, high skirting boards, picture rails, original wood flooring, and functioning wooden service bells. Lovingly maintained over the years, the home now benefits from recently installed Heritage aluminium windows, blending traditional charm with modern comfort. A substantial solid wood front door opens into a striking L-shaped hallway. The bright and airy sitting room enjoys a triple-aspect layout, complete with French doors that lead onto a terrace-perfect for morning coffee or relaxing in the sun. The spacious dining room comfortably accommodates a large table and provides access to a generous veranda, currently used for log storage. The kitchen is styled in a traditional manner and offers ample space for a breakfast table. The kitchen opens into an extended family room, ideal for modern living, with a cozy seating area and bifold doors that open out to the patio and garden. A useful utility room adjoins this space. Upstairs on the first floor are four bedrooms with the main bedroom benefiting from an en suite bathroom and a further bedroom is currently used as a study also connects to a second en suite/family bathroom. This room offers flexible potential: with the simple addition of a stud wall, it could become a fully separate bedroom and there is scope to create an additional en suite in the large walk-in cupboard. A staircase leads to the top floor, where a large walk-in attic room offers excellent storage. Another bedroom on this level provides access to further storage areas and additional attic space. Externally, the front garden is mature and well-maintained, with areas for off-road parking and access to a garage.
