Description

Approached via a private setting and enveloped by beautifully established gardens, the house presents the timeless elegance of an Edwardian country home, yet was in fact built thirty years ago using the finest materials and craftsmanship, combining period style with contemporary living.

Secluded yet far from remote, it offers immediate access to open countryside, the Royal Ashdown Golf Course, and the village of Forest Row. East Grinstead station is just a short drive away, providing direct services to London in under an hour, delivering an ideal balance of rural tranquillity and excellent connectivity.

Internally, the house is beautifully designed throughout, with thoughtfully balanced and impeccably finished interiors that combine comfort, flexibility and understated contemporary style, while air conditioning is installed in key rooms including the principal suite, guest bedroom, landing, apartment and home office.

The principal reception rooms include a drawing room and garden room, both elegant and inviting, each enhanced by feature fireplaces, alongside a separate study and library where the tasteful design continues with bespoke cabinetry and detailing. Internal steel and glass doors bring light flooding through the house. The specification is of a high calibre, with quality finishes including Arte wall coverings, bespoke lighting and carefully considered design throughout, complemented by integrated security with automated gates and an alarm system.

The kitchen/breakfast/dining space forms the heart of the home, featuring bespoke Smallbone painted cabinetry, Quartz worktops and a comprehensive range of premium appliances. The space opens into a striking orangery with a bespoke tongue and groove ceiling set beneath a zinc roof, creating a light-filled and atmospheric living space. Completing the ground floor is a guest cloakroom, boiler room, and a lower ground basement store with Miele washing machine and tumble dryer.

The first floor is approached via a galleried landing with feature lighting and includes a useful airing cupboard with washing machine. The accommodation extends to five bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite with Italian modular shelving, offering a wonderful sense of calm and tranquillity, complemented by dressing areas and a luxurious en-suite. Further bedrooms are well-appointed, with three additional en-suites and a family bathroom designed by Clive Christian.

Additional accommodation and flexibility are provided by a spacious self-contained apartment above the double garage, complete with kitchen, shower room, air conditioning and independent services. The garage complex also includes wine storage, workshop space and high-spec finishes, while a separate gym/home office enjoys bifold glazing and garden views and a golf net alongside

Outside
Externally, the grounds are a defining feature of the property. Set within approximately 1.92 acres, the landscaped gardens extend to front and rear lawns with a remarkable variety of mature planting, ornamental trees and seasonal colour, complemented by a Victorian greenhouse. A standout feature is the heated swimming pool with automated cover and versatile enclosure, alongside a summer house fitted with kitchen facilities and entertaining space.
Beyond the formal gardens lies a truly enchanting private woodland of approximately three quarters of an acre, with winding paths, a raised walkway, natural play features and a charming Alpine-style cabin at its heart, creating a rare and magical extension of the outdoor space.

Location
The property is located on a well-regarded private road within a prestigious residential park, adjacent to the Royal Ashdown Golf Course and Ashdown Forest.
Connectivity is excellent, with convenient access to the M23/M25 network and both Gatwick and Heathrow airports, placing London, the wider motorway system and international travel within easy reach. East Grinstead station provides mainline services to London, while Forest Row offers a vibrant village atmosphere with everyday amenities including cafes, pubs, an organic grocer, delicatessen, fishmonger and the renowned Tablehurst Farm shop.

The area is exceptionally well served by highly regarded schooling, including Ashdown House, Cumnor House, Brambletye, Ardingly College, and Michael Hall Steiner School.
