An opportunity to purchase a substantial, extended family home comprising 2613 sq. ft. set within a plot of 0.75 acres (tbv) with five double bedrooms and three bathrooms and no onward chain. There is a 5-bar gate and a long driveway leading to an area of off-road parking for at least five cars, together with space for turning. Large, sunny southwest-facing rear garden with patio, extensive lawns and a tree house. Located in the sought-after private Domewood estate with good road and rail links to London, Brighton and Gatwick.

Approaching the property, the house is set back from a quiet private road with speed bumps in the sought-after Domewood estate. The apron frontage features a 5-bar gate that opens onto a gravel driveway, followed by a brick-paved herringbone pattern driveway. This driveway provides off-road parking for at least five cars, along with space for turning. There are established trees and shrubs ensuring privacy in both the front and rear gardens, with access to the rear on both sides.

Entering the property, there is a wood front door with half-glazed panels on each side opening into a large hallway. To the right is the study, beyond and right is the sitting room with a superb inglenook fireplace, to the immediate left is the music room, left and beyond leads to the substantial open plan living/dining/family room, kitchen, utility room, and cloakroom.

To the rear of the house is the well-proportioned sitting room with a superb inglenook fireplace which has a stone hearth, brick surround and bressummer beam, making it a key feature in the room. There are windows on each side of the fireplace and, at the far end of the room, double doors also with windows on each side and opening onto the patio in the rear garden.

To the left and running through from the front to the rear, a few short steps lead down into the exceptionally spacious open plan living/dining/family room. It has the luxury of underfloor heating with two windows to the front and two windows to the rear, ensuring it is a light and airy space. Presently, there is a dining table with six chairs, a large corner sofa and bookshelves too. It is an ideal space for both relaxing and socialising with family and friends.

The kitchen is located between these two rooms, and it has a large window overlooking the rear garden, with the utility room adjacent and the cloakroom beyond. The kitchen has a good range of wall and base units in off-white with contrasting dark work surfaces and rust coloured wall tiles. There is a large island providing superb storage, and it is a lovely feature in the room. There is an integrated electric range with five burners, a warming plate, a grill, two ovens and a storage drawer with a large cooker hood above. There is space and plumbing for a full-height fridge/freezer and dishwasher.

Beyond is the cloakroom, which has a large window, a white WC and a wash hand basin with a vanity unit below and neutral tiling.

To the front of the house, there are two further reception rooms, each with an attractive rectangular bay window. One is presently used as a music room and the other as a study, making it ideal as an office for those working from home. Moving along, the staircase goes up, curving to the right, with a spacious landing creating a feeling of grandeur. There is a window to the front, and the loft is accessed from the landing, which has a ladder, a light and is partly boarded.

Bedroom 2 is approached via an archway and a short corridor with the en-suite on the left. The bedroom is similar in size to the master bedroom, featuring windows in the eaves to the front and rear, along with a useful eaves storage cupboard.

Bedrooms 3 and 4 are similar in size and both are good-sized doubles, each with a built-in wardrobe, and are located at the front of the property. Bedroom 5 is to the rear and is a slightly smaller double, but with the added benefit of a double built-in wardrobe.
