St Johns Road, Crowborough

Hidden from the road behind a large border of mature shrubs is this charming, detached family home. A spacious forecourt provides parking for several vehicles and access to the garage. An internal entrance porch has a cloakroom and space for coats. The ground floor offers versatile accommodation with its three separate reception rooms, all carpeted in cream. The large and well-proportioned sitting room is at the rear of the ground floor. The back wall of the sitting room is mainly of glass – a three-pane in-line sliding patio door opening onto the garden and offering a pleasant outlook, whilst filling the room with natural light. A log-burning stove within an attractive fireplace adds charm and warmth. A separate garden room provides a perfect spot to sit and read or look out onto the garden. It benefits from a large double-sided log-burning stove, shared with the dining room behind. Fitted bookshelves and cupboards fill the alcove next to the chimney breast. There is a window to the side along with a two-pane sliding patio door to the garden. The dining room also benefits from the double-sided log-burning stove and has a wide window to the side and space for a large table and chairs with a fitted pendant light above. Next to the dining room is the well-presented kitchen. It has an array of fitted high/low cream cabinets with concealed lighting and attractive Corian work surfaces, incorporating a one and half sink with drainer. The kitchen has a fitted oven and grill, a four-ring electric hob with extractor hood and space for a freestanding dishwasher and fridge/freezer. There is an attractive cushioned seating area. A door at the back of the kitchen gives direct access to the large garage and utility room. The utility room has fitted cabinets, additional shelving, a sink and drainer as well as space for a washing machine and tumble dryer along with access to the garden. Carpeted stairs take you to the first-floor landing which has a window, an airing cupboard, a useful narrow, shelved cupboard and loft access. The main bedroom is a spacious double bedroom with a dual aspect feature, fitted shower, heated towel rail and fitted wardrobes. There are three further double bedrooms, all situated at the rear and enjoying pleasant views of the rear garden. The fourth bedroom is currently used as a study, but would make an ideal larger single bedroom, or small double bedroom. Completing the first floor is the family bathroom with two windows (one with shutters), a bath with rain head shower and subway-style tile surround, WC, wash basin and a heated towel rail. Outside, the established garden has been lovingly maintained over the years with an abundance of mature shrubs and herbaceous perennials along with a beautiful magnolia tree and whitebeam. There are various seating and entertaining areas along with a winding footpath that leads to the top of the garden and the greenhouse. There is a summerhouse at the top of the garden. A mature lawn separates the borders. A two-tier pond with a waterfall is stocked with goldfish and features waterlilies and other flowering pond plants. There is gated access to a large garden shed, with a workbench and shelving, and the front garden. The forecourt offers parking for several vehicles along with access to the oversized single garage with an up and over electric door.
