Description
28 Balcombe Road is an attractive and spacious detached family house, built in the early 1960s, with tile hung and brick elevations under a tiled roof. The property was acquired by the current owners in 1991, and has clearly been a wonderful family home. It offers approximately 2,152 sq ft of accommodation arranged over two floors, and has a pleasing layout, with light interiors, generously proportioned rooms and well-presented décor. The property is ready to move into, yet also offers an excellent opportunity to update or extend if required, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions.
The ground floor accommodation is arranged around the welcoming entrance hall; to the right is the dual aspect sitting room, with a stone mantelpiece, gas fire and French doors to the rear. On the other side of the hall is the study, with a pleasant outlook to the front; to the rear lies the cloakroom and the dining room, with a large window framing the view across the gardens and plenty of room for dining table and chairs – an ideal space for entertaining or hosting the family.
The kitchen has underfloor heating, and a good range of solid maple wood wall-hung and under-counter cabinets, complemented by pale worktops and up to date Siemens integrated appliances including two ovens, a dishwasher, and a gas hob with an Elica extractor over.
The rear door opens to the side of the house, where the utility room, boiler room and the garage can be accessed.
On the first floor, the 22’ principal bedroom is dual aspect, and has fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom, which can also be accessed from the landing, providing further family facilities if required. There are three further spacious bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes and one with a basin. There is a shower room with a walk-in shower, and a separate WC.
Outside
The house is set well back from Balcombe Road and approached via a private driveway which belongs to the property, over which the two neighbouring properties have right of access.
28 Balcombe Road has a lovely aspect to the front, with a drive providing parking ahead of the integrated single garage, and a spacious front lawn set with a large flowering magnolia tree. The generous rear gardens are fully enclosed, with an expanse of lawn stretching away from the terrace which spans the rear elevation of the house; at the far end are raised kitchen beds, an array of fruit trees, a glass-fronted potting shed and a timber shed. In all, about 0.43 of an acre.
