A truly impressive 4-BEDROOM SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE of 1,396 sq.ft, built, we believe, in the late 1940’s and arranged OVER 3-FLOORS whilst benefiting from a large PRIVATE DRIVEWAY and GARDEN with WORKSHOP/HOME OFFICE/STUDIO. Situated in a tucked away & highly convenient position within the heart of Balcombe village, the nearby primary school and mainline station are within close walking proximity. The village is highly desirable and well-served with a general store, church and the popular Half Moon pub along with easy road access to the A/M23 whilst surrounded by glorious open countryside set within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its network of public footpaths and bridleways.

This stunning and immaculately presented family home, having been previously RENOVATED and EXTENDED to the rear as well as into the LOFT SPACE, has, in more recent years undergone considerable REFURBISHMENT and RE-DECORATION by the current owners where a stylish and neutral décor harmonises a perfect blend of contemporary meeting character throughout, all of which is finished to a high standard. The property also enjoys a LARGE WEST-FACING REAR GARDEN with side access.

Particularly spacious and bright accommodation is on offer which briefly comprises: a welcoming ENTRANCE HALL, a delightful LIVING ROOM positioned to the front with feature wood-burning stove inset to chimney breast. A fabulous and imposing KITCHEN/DINING ROOM with a rear aspect, forms the heart of the house being fitted with an extensive range of pale muted grey wall and base cabinetry with contrasting white quartz work surfaces, upstands and splashback, inset with a stainless steel sink. High quality integrated appliances include: an eye-level electric multi-functional double oven, 6-burner induction hob with extractor above, washer/dryer and dishwasher with space for a freestanding fridge/freezer. Ample space is on offer to the vast DINING AREA for a large table and chairs as well as a sofa if required. Further, bi-folding patio doors span the property’s width and allow an abundance of natural light to flow through, opening onto a sun deck with level rear garden beyond. To the foot of the stairs, within the hallway, is a modern CLOAKROOM/WC.

TO FIRST FLOOR are THREE DOUBLE BEDROOMS, one currently used as a dressing room with fitted L-shaped wardrobe cupboards (easily removed) and a beautifully appointed FAMILY BATH/SHOWER ROOM fully tiled and fitted with a luxury, contemporary-style white suite to include freestanding slipper bath, vanity basin, WC and a large, feature walk-in shower. A secondary staircase rises to the SECOND FLOOR where a superb and spacious MASTER BEDROOM with EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM is enjoyed, designed with a large Dormer window to the rear and dual Velux roof windows to the front whilst offering space for a study/dressing area.

OUTSIDE

To the front is a large shingle PRIVATE DRIVEWAY providing off-road parking for 4+ vehicles and gated side entrance to the LARGE WEST-FACING REAR GARDEN. Immediately adjoining the kitchen through extensive bi-folding doors is a slightly raised sun deck, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining, beyond which is a large level lawn with a variety of mature trees, shrubs and flower beds lining its borders.

To the rear is a sizeable TIMBER WORKSHOP/HOME OFFICE/STUDIO (22’10 x 7’10) with windows, electricity, light and double opening doors. The entire garden is fully enclosed, non-overlooked and tree-lined to the rear offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion.
