Built in the early 1970s, and significantly remodelled, extended and updated by the present owners, 15 Deepdene is a deceptively spacious detached family house, tucked away in a quiet location on the rural fringe of this popular town.The generous accommodation is arranged over two floors, and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating.

The house is approached over a herringbone brick driveway with additional gravel parking area to one side and a broad stretch of lawn on the other side, interspersed with young trees.

The front door opens into a light and spacious hallway, which in turn leads through to the kitchen/dining room, with doors opening into the study and utility room along the way.

The open plan kitchen/dining room has two windows and a part-glazed stable style door to the side of the house, where there is a small courtyard area, with steps leading up to the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with stone-colour oak shaker units with oak worktops and integrated appliances including a Lamona fridge freezer and dishwasher and Neff oven and induction hob.The adjoining utility room has further wall and base units with Lamona fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is a ground floor WC accessed through the utility room.

The impressive 30’ long, double aspect sitting room features a bar and a fireplace with woodburning stove and Oak mantel. Stairs with a glass balustrade lead up to the first floor, with built-in storage below.

At the top of the stairs, you are invited through to the beautiful triple aspect garden room with roof lantern and double doors leading out to the garden. This is a year-round reception space that links the accommodation out to the rear garden, which is at first floor level.

The first floor also accommodates four double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, a family shower room and an en suite shower room. One of the front bedrooms has a door out onto a wisteria adorned balcony with far-reaching elevated views over roof tops towards the North Downs. There is also a generous loft.

The southerly facing rear garden is well screened from neighbours and has been beautifully landscaped to provide a broad paved sun terrace, a raised decked terrace, colourfully planted flower beds, an area of lawn and a further raised decked patio with feature fish ponds and a large potting shed. There is also a courtyard area to the side of the house and a further pathway leading to a garden shed on the other side of the house.

The property is located on a quiet cul-de-sac off Balaclava Lane on the North-Eastern fringe of the town, about 1.3 miles from the town centre. There is a local shop in Sparrows Green about ¾ of a mile from the property.

Wadhurst also benefits from very good local Doctor, Dentist and Vet practice, cafes, a pub (plus The Old Vine in Cousley Wood, within a mile) and an Indian restaurant. There is also a gym at Uplands, a commemoration hall that hosts a number of classes and events throughout the year, and various sports clubs including tennis, cricket and football. There is a recreation ground with childrens’ playground and tennis courts about a third of a mile from the house.
