Description

This spacious detached family residence, originally constructed by respected local builders H & E Waters, presents a significant refurbishment opportunity. Set just a short distance from the village and bordered by the beautiful Ashdown Forest, this property combines good foundational features with potential for modernization. The layout includes a central hall that leads to three sizable reception rooms, each equipped with fireplaces—one opening onto a veranda via French doors. The kitchen is devoid of units, allowing for complete customization alongside a separate breakfast room, utility room, larder, and cloakroom facilities. The first floor hosts six bedrooms, each featuring fireplaces apart from one, along with two bathrooms and a separate WC. An additional flat located on the second floor adds versatility; it consists of its own bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen/living area. Outdoors, the sweeping lawn garden is complemented by mature trees and rhododendrons. The gravelled driveway provides parking space in front of the house and leads to a garage that requires some attention. A former vegetable garden with an existing greenhouse further enhances this expansive 1.65-acre plot. This property comes with all main services and gas heating. Given its size and location near amenities such as schools and transport links to East Grinstead and beyond, this home has excellent investment potential for those willing to undertake modernizing work.
