Headline
Encompassed by the tranquillity of its grounds, this house is a hidden gem that offers a wonderful opportunity to be modernised to suit your own tastes and style. Tucked away on a peaceful lane just moments from the picturesque Wire Mill Lake, its grounds and paddock make it ideal for an equestrian family, whilst the stable block also provides scope to create additional accommodation (STNC).
Description
Retaining an abundance of character, the house sits discreetly behind a long driveway and greenery, whilst being within easy reach of a popular local pub and lake, highly regarded schools, and circa three miles from both East Grinstead and Lingfield train stations.
Beneath the rich dark timber beams of a whitewashed ceiling, a distinguished working fireplace creates an instant focal point to the sitting room. Effortlessly capturing your imagination, this beautifully light and bright room offers a peaceful space to relax and unwind with leafy vistas and lots of updating potential, while its wide sliding doors open onto the broad paved patio and outdoor swimming pool (not currently in use).
Creating a hugely easy flowing layout, this main reception room leads into the adjoining dining room that is reasonably proportioned for family meals and extends into a conservatory that adds an enticing retreat to admire your surroundings with after dinner drinks or a morning coffee.
Fully fitted with traditional wood cabinets, a tower oven and gas hob, the kitchen easily accommodates a breakfast table and there is plenty of scope to transform this room into a contemporary space styled to your own tastes and needs. A separate utility room has space for laundry appliances and gives access to a ground floor bathroom in need of modernisation along with a double bedroom with a door to the garden. Together these could be reconfigured to provide self-contained accommodation for a multi-generational family.
Continue upstairs where a central hallway adds to the sense of space and opens onto five additional bedrooms. Natural light tumbles into a principal bedroom that benefits from an en-suite shower room and fitted wardrobes while its demi-glazed door takes you out onto a superbly sized 22ft west-facing balcony. The further four bedrooms produce an ideal amount of flexible family accommodation and updating/modernising potential. Three have perfectly placed skylight windows and two of these rooms have eaves storage. The modern suite of the family bathroom includes a full size bath with overhead shower.
Outside
Tucked away within 3.2acres of wrap-around grounds and gardens, the home has a wealth of idyllic outdoor space.
A paddock and stable block make this detached home ideal for an equestrian family, while the stables also have plenty of potential to be converted into a first class home office or an additional dwelling (STNC).
A paved patio is perfect for al fresco meals with family and friends and sits next to the outdoor swimming pool (not currently in use) to make it a great place to entertain in the summertime. The expansive lawns and mature trees and hedgerows give colour and interest throughout the seasons, and an integral garage and long private driveway have off-road parking for several vehicles.
