Description

Turnkey detached house in a select gated development, Balcombe station under half a mile

Description

Built in 2019, this exceptional detached home offers beautifully presented accommodation arranged over two floors, thoughtfully designed to suit the demands of modern family life. Finished to a high standard throughout, it enjoys a prime position within a sought-after village, just a short walk from the mainline station (approximately 0.4 of a mile by foot) making it an ideal choice for commuters, relocators, or those seeking a lifestyle upgrade.

Inside, the home impresses with its stylish presentation, featuring a muted neutral colour palette, interior shutters to most windows, and herringbone wood flooring. The spacious, dual-aspect sitting/dining room is a highlight, with a gas stove and bi-fold doors opening to a south-facing terrace. A retractable exterior sunshade provides shelter, making this a perfect spot for entertaining or relaxing on sunny days.

The kitchen/breakfast room lies across the hallway, and is also dual aspect and fitted with a second gas stove. This superbly equipped space includes a range of sleek white and wood cabinetry, quartz worktops, and a central island housing a Neff induction hob and overhead extractor. Additional Neff appliances include a built-in oven and microwave, integrated fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. A separate utility/boot room offers practical space for laundry and outdoor gear.

Should further space be required, there is full planning permission to add a single storey extension at the rear, increasing the size of the kitchen and utility room. Ref DM/24/0588.

Upstairs, a bifurcated staircase leads to five bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from an en suite shower room, fitted storage, and elegant décor. Two further bedrooms are located in the same wing, while the opposite side of the landing houses two more bedrooms (one with its own en suite shower room) and a stylish family bathroom.

Externally, the former garage has been converted into a home office, ideal for remote working or studio/gym use.

Outside
Number 4 is part of Watermead, a secure, gated development of just five select homes. The property offers ample parking with two gravelled driveways, one of which has an EV charging point and an outside power point. The driveways sit either side of the front garden, which is planted with chestnut leaf holly, beech and apple trees and has post and rail fencing.

The rear garden is enclosed by r hedging and part panelled fencing, and beautifully landscaped, featuring a variety of mature trees and shrubs for privacy and seasonal interest. There’s a gravelled courtyard for alfresco dining, a paved terrace ideal for lounging or entertaining, and a gently sloping lawn leading to a secondary terrace perfectly positioned to catch the evening sun. There is a detached Dutch barn-style shed for garden storage.

To the north of the development is a large communal pond, teeming with fish and wildlife, and accessible via a private path. The pond and the private road are jointly owned by the five households through Dean Land Shaw Management Co Ltd, with a monthly contribution of £60 per household for ongoing estate maintenance.
