A detached 1920's bungalow found on a highly regarded lane on the outskirts of Hartfield with considerable potential and planning permission, sat in just under a third of an acre.

Description

Built in 1920, The Grove is a detached bungalow sat in the midst of its third of an acre plot. Light, bright, clean and tidy, but in need of modernisation, The Grove provides a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to put their own stamp on the property moving forward.

Currently the accommodation is arranged to provide two double bedrooms and a shower room, together with two reception rooms in addition to the kitchen. There is a useful porch and utility area/boot room (housing the gas boiler) to the front of the bungalow.

Of particular note, The Grove is coming to market with the considerable benefit of planning permission already in place. Granted in the autumn of 2022, the permission is for an extension to the front of the property; infill extension and conservatory to the rear; new 5 bar timber gate; 1.5m tall brick entrance piers and 1.2m high post and wire fencing installed to the northern boundary; 30 PV cells installed to the garage and main house roof. Further details and plans are available on the Wealden District Council website WD/2022/1167/F.

Outside: There are well-maintained lawns to both the front and rear, enclosed by fencing and hedging, providing a blank canvas for the green fingered.

The property is approached via a gated, block paved driveway offering parking for several cars, together with a separate large timber garage with power and lighting and an electronically operated up and over door.

Location

The Grove is situated on a country lane in the hamlet of Upper Hartfield, on the edge of the Ashdown Forest.

The heart of the forest lies about three or so miles from the property, being one of the largest free public access spaces in the South East of England, made famous by AA Milne’s Winnie the Pooh stories (Milne having lived just outside Hartfield). The Forest is an ancient area of open heathland occupying the highest sandy ridge within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and was originally a deer hunting forest in Norman times.

There are excellent amenities in Hartfield including a general store, butchers/farm shop, the Anchor public house, the neighbouring church, a gift shop, tennis, cricket and football clubs, children’s play area, as well as the medical centre and the historic Hatch Inn at Colemans Hatch is just 1.6 miles away.

The larger village of Forest Row is reached in about 3.5 miles and offers a wide range of small independent shops, cafes, galleries and services.

The nearest main towns are Crowborough (about 6.9 miles with a large Waitrose supermarket & café) Tunbridge Wells (about 9.5 miles), East Grinstead (about 6.8 miles) and Sevenoaks which lies to the north (about 17 miles). Gatwick airport is approximately 16 miles to the west and the M25 providing links to the national motorway network is approximately 17 miles.

There are many public footpaths in the vicinity; sporting options include horse riding by permit on the Ashdown Forest, racing at Lingfield Park, the Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club, Holtye Golf Club and Crowborough Beacon Golf Club are amongst the many in the area.

Mainline rail: Commuter services to London Bridge, Cannon Street, Charing Cross and London Victoria are available from Cowden (about 5.5 miles), Dormansland (about 9 miles), Tunbridge Wells and East Grinstead.

Private and State Schools: Church of England Primary schools in Hartfield, Forest Row, Withyham and Groombridge. Other highly regarded schools in the area include Holmewood House, (Langton Green), Brambletye (East Grinstead) and Cumnor House (Danehill) preparatory schools. At secondary level The Beacon in Crowborough, Uckfield Community College and Kent Grammar schools in Tunbridge Wells with entry by performance in the 11-plus examinations. In the private sector: the Michael Hall Steiner school in Forest Row, Bedes in Upper Dicker, Eastbourne College, Mayfield School for Girls and Ardingly and Hurstpierpoint Colleges.
