Description

This detached family home offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Nestled in a peaceful cul-de-sac, the location is conveniently close to the village center and provides easy access to scenic footpaths leading to fields and woodlands. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a hallway that connects to various living spaces, including a sitting room featuring a wood-burning stove and sliding doors that open onto a covered balcony—a perfect spot for relaxing outdoors. The kitchen/breakfast area is equipped with fitted wall and floor units, wooden worktops, and retains a Rayburn that not only serves as an efficient cooking source but also supplies hot water and heating for up to eight radiators. A dedicated study further enhances the functional layout of the ground floor. Upstairs, the property includes four bedrooms that offer ample space for families or potential redesign. One bedroom features an en-suite basin, while additional storage is available through fitted cupboards throughout. A bathroom serves the upper level. The outdoor space is equally appealing, starting with parking at the front alongside a small garden area. The back garden boasts a rich variety of trees—including fig, apple, cherry, raspberry, gooseberry, and vines—creating an attractive environment that extends down to a stream. This forest garden also includes areas of lawn, terrace space for entertaining, and even an external WC. An under-house storage area adds practicality to the property. At the top of the garden sits a versatile home office space. As for amenities and transport links, this home benefits from proximity to major routes such as the A22, providing efficient access to London via East Grinstead’s railway station within about 54 minutes. Local attractions include various restaurants and sports facilities in Forest Row, along with comprehensive shopping options in nearby East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells. Families will appreciate the strong selection of schools nearby—Michael Hall School is within walking distance—and Ashdown Forest offers expansive public land ideal for walking or simply enjoying nature’s beauty. This property presents a canvas for someone willing to invest time and resources into creating their ideal home while taking advantage of its desirable location and potential growth value in one of Sussex's charming communities.
