The beautiful surrounding countryside is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, providing many public footpaths and includes Bewl Water Reservoir, reputedly the largest area of inland water in the South East, where a wide range of water sports can be enjoyed.

Description: 1 The Leas is a substantial detached house built in the 1980s with external elevations of brick beneath a tiled roof and double-glazed windows throughout.

The house provides spacious, flexible and well-presented accommodation of approximately 1,571sq.ft/146sq.m (excluding the double garage) with good natural light and a lovely outlook over its gardens and surrounding countryside. It also offers excellent scope to remodel the living space, if required, with options to create a large, open plan kitchen/dining room, a further ensuite, and to convert part of the garage, etc.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes on the ground floor: a spacious entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and doors leading to a cloakroom, a utility cupboard, a kitchen/breakfast room fitted with an extensive range of modern wall and base units with solid oak work surfaces, tiled splashbacks and an outlook over the garden. Doors from the hall and kitchen open into a large double aspect sitting/dining room, which extends to nearly 31ft and has oak flooring, a fireplace fitted with a wood burner, a bay window overlooking the front garden and bi-folding doors leading out to the rear garden. On the first floor there is a spacious landing leading to five bedrooms (four doubles and a single), as well as a study/sixth bedroom. The bedrooms and study to the rear all enjoy far reaching views over surrounding countryside, and there is a family bathroom and ensuite shower room.

Outside, the property is approached over a shared driveway to a double garage with parking outside for two cars (with plenty of parking available on the road). A path leads along the front of the house to the front door with a well-stocked flower border to the front, steps on one side and gated access on both sides of the house to the rear garden. The double garage has up-and-over doors, power connected and a glazed rear door leading out to the rear garden. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and is planted with an abundance of mature shrubs and plants. There are different seating areas providing options for outdoor entertaining, with a deck with balustrading running along the rear of the house, a further deck at the bottom of the garden and a pergola. The garden is bordered with mature mixed hedging and fencing and feels very private.
