Description

Innhams Wood is a private road tucked away from sight but within a mile of the centre of Crowborough. Having been significantly extended historically, Maryland is a light, spacious, well-presented and very comfortable family home that offers a wealth of flexible accommodation set across three floors, that can be arranged to suit individuals needs with a layout well-suited to modern family living and entertaining on a large scale.

The ground floor begins with a welcoming reception hall, which gives access to a TV snug/study, opening onto the side of the garden. The reception hall leads to one of the larger reception rooms, used by our clients as a more formal dining room with a feature fireplace and wood burning stove. Steps lead down to the very impressive sitting room, which is flooded with natural light through the three large velux windows and the sliding glazed doors that open directly onto the expansive terrace and gardens beyond.

The stylish fitted kitchen includes a central island with breakfast bar for more informal dining, with a range of integrated appliances, together with plenty of storage and preparation space and French doors that open onto the garden with steps down to the terrace. A utility room adjoins the kitchen, providing space for further appliances and storage with direct access to the garden. The utility room opens onto a very useful boot room, which has direct access to the driveway and into the garage, perfect for a busy family household where muddy boots, sports kits and raincoats can be kept at bay. A WC off the reception hall completes the ground floor.

The first floor is home to four double bedrooms. The very generous, dual aspect, principal bedroom to the front has fitted wardrobes and a well-appointed en suite bathroom. Bedroom two also benefits from fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. The remaining two bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

The second floor bedroom is of particular note and has a striking feature window, with Juliet balcony, providing a wonderful view over the gardens and treetops, this room is large enough to accommodate bedroom and seating/study furniture and is an ideal "teen retreat" but could take on any number of uses.

Outside: Maryland is approached via a sweeping driveway with ample parking for several vehicles directly outside the house with a further raised parking area, with steps down to the house from lane level.

Maryland enjoys a large, south-facing rear garden and a high degree of privacy, a large paved patio spans the width of the house creating a superb entertaining area. The landscaping beyond the terrace embraces the gentle slope towards the rear boundary with numerous established specimen trees and planting to the borders.
