East Grinstead Road, North Chailey, BN8

Approached via a newly resurfaced private road, this impressive, detached home immediately conveys a strong sense of exclusivity. Originally constructed in the 1980s, the property has since undergone a comprehensive and meticulous renovation, resulting in a beautifully appointed home where every detail has been thoughtfully considered to enhance both style and practicality.

A striking open, galleried hallway, sets the tone for the space and light that flows throughout. At the heart of the home lies a dual-aspect living room, centred around a wood-burning stove. Flooded with natural light from bifold doors opening onto the rear garden, this space blends indoor and outdoor living. A second reception room, enhanced by a bay window and integrated hi-fi cabinets, offers excellent versatility. Whether utilised as a formal dining room, study, or play room, it provides a refined and adaptable living space. To the rear, the kitchen has been reconfigured to form a generous and sociable hub of the home. Beautifully finished with polished granite worktops and bespoke cabinetry, it combines design with everyday functionality.

French doors open directly onto the garden, further enhancing the sense of light and connectivity. A utility room provides additional workspace, with an adjoining storeroom - ideal for use as a boot room or for household storage.

Upstairs there are four double bedrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive, with a stylish en-suite finished to a high specification. The family bathroom is equally well-appointed, with contemporary fittings and a clean, elegant design. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the home has been extensively upgraded to meet modern standards, including complete rewiring and replumbing, enhanced insulation, upgraded heating and hot water systems, and new double-glazed windows and doors.
Integrated smart home technology, with app-controlled lighting, heating and security, provides a high level of convenience and efficiency, perfectly complementing this exceptional home.

The garden truly enhances the overall lifestyle offered by this exceptional home. Practicality has been carefully considered throughout. The property benefits from a double garage with an electric door, a generous driveway and additional side parking, ensuring ample space for multiple vehicles.
