The Home.... - If you love period property and are looking for an exciting project that offers huge scope for renovation and extension in one of the area’s most desirable villages then look no further than Fairdene in Balcombe.

This attractive, bay fronted red brick Victorian semi-detached home sits on an enviable plot that extends to 0.12 acres with a westerly garden that extends to over 100ft meaning there is a huge amount of scope for a sizeable extension to the side and/or rear and the majority of the neighbouring homes have undertaken such extensions. Any works are of course subject to gaining any necessary consents and planning permissions.

In its current format, the home offers well-proportioned accommodation with a layout that is typical of the Victorian period. The sitting room sits at the front with bay window and open fireplace that provides a natural focal point.

The dining room also has a fireplace and bay window, adding to the period charm and flows through to the kitchen, which in turn leads through to the utility area and cloakroom.

On the first floor there is an impressive main bedroom that extends across the entire front of the home. The second and third bedrooms are also good sizes. Each bedroom is served by the family bathroom and cloakroom.

The large loft space is ripe for conversion and offers plenty of space to create an impressive ‘principal’ bedroom with ensuite.

Whilst requiring refurbishment, the home does enjoy gas fired central heating an uPVC double glazing throughout. There are also plenty of attractive period features that pay homage to the Victorian age of the home including high ceilings, fireplaces, panelled doors and bay windows.

The home is offered for sale with no onward chain meaning a swift move is possible.

Step Outside... - Stepping outside, the garden extends to over 100ft and is level with a favoured westerly aspect that enjoys the afternoon/evening sunshine. To the front and side is driveway parking for several cars and a front garden.
