5 bedroom detached house for sale

Located on the edge of Crowborough, this wonderful five-bedroom residence is situated at the end of a highly desirable private road, set at the end of its own long drive, approached through automatic gates. The property was built on what was originally a double plot, and so has substantial grounds of 2 acres, landscaped to create park like gardens and designed to enjoy the far-reaching views of the South Downs.

Built in 1939, the layout of the house is very thoughtful, with all of the main living and bedrooms set towards the rear of the house, thereby maximising the setting and the stunning countryside views. A useful porch opens to the entrance hall, which sweeps through the house and leads to all of the main accommodation space. The three generous reception rooms are currently configured as a drawing room, dining room, and TV snug, and each has its own charm and features, such as exposed brick walls and an ornate ceiling to the drawing room, oak panelling to the dining room, and a more cosy aspect within the TV snug. Each room also enjoys access to the rear garden and views over the rolling countryside beyond.

The dine-in kitchen is spacious and functional, with a large 2-oven gas AGA complemented by a 2-oven electric AGA, perfect for meeting your cooking needs in the warmer summer months when the main AGA is switched off. The Roundel Design solid oak cupboards provide ample storage space, and the worktops of Corian and granite are highly practical. Other integrated appliances include a microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The house also enjoys a large utility room, providing excellent further storage and with a tumble drier, small fridge and further dishwasher included in the sale.

A home office, with a dual aspect, two cloakrooms and various storage cupboards, complete the accommodation on the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are five double bedrooms and four bathrooms, and all bar one of the bedrooms enjoy the lovely aspect to the rear. The master suite is particularly notable, having been added by the current owners who created a wonderful, generous, vaulted space, with beautiful beam work, a bank of fitted wardrobes and a dedicated ensuite bathroom, providing a luxurious retreat.

The beautifully landscaped south facing gardens are a real feature of this fabulous residence, and include stone terraces, lawns, mature planting and a tennis court, providing ample recreational space. A sweeping driveway leads to a large courtyard with parking for approximately 15 cars, a car port, and an additional outbuilding, ensuring plenty of space for vehicles and storage.

This property offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and stunning views, making it an exceptional family home. Its semi-rural position, whilst being just minutes away from the town centre, make it a peaceful, yet convenient country retreat. Viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the features and setting of this remarkable residence.
