Description

Built by Millwood Designer Homes in 2015, 17 Parsonage Croft is one of just 21 properties within this small and attractive development on the western edge of Etchingham. Having been extended and enhanced by our clients, the property is presented to a very high standard throughout with a generous layout that ideally caters to modern family life.

The ground floor offers much flexibility and is currently arranged with a playroom to the front of the house and a more formal sitting room towards the rear. Interconnecting doors means the space can be opened up to create one very large reception room if needed.

The impressive kitchen/dining room over looks the gardens to the rear. The sleek, modern fitted kitchen, with range of integrated appliances, provides good storage and preparation space, with a central island also incorporating a breakfast bar for more informal dining, with ample room for a dining table. The kitchen/dining room is open to the rear extension, where a lovely dual aspect family room has been created with vaulted ceiling and sliding doors opening to the terrace and gardens beyond.

The integral garage is home to a very useful utility area with sink, storage and space for further white goods, with direct access to the side of the house and rear garden. A separate cloakroom completes the ground floor.

The first floor is home to a sizable principal bedroom with views over the garden to the rear, a bank of fitted wardrobes, plenty of room for further furniture and an en suite shower room. Bedroom two also has fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. Bedrooms three and four are served by the family bathroom.

Outside: 17 Parsonage Croft enjoys a good-sized but easily managed garden, with a paved terrace abutting the family room, creating an ideal space for outdoor entertaining with brick built pizza oven and bbq area. Lawns provide space for child's play. There is driveway parking to the front of the house and access to the integral garage with up and over door.
