Description

NO CHAIN - HUGE POTENTIAL TO EXTEND - SET IN 1.3 ACRES
Well maintained and presented Detached 1930's house. Set in approximately 1.3 acres with large level lawns and an area of woodland. (Further woodland available by separate negotiation). This house has been in the same family for nearly sixty years and is well looked after and updated, with original panelled doors and picture rails. There is however, scope for improvement and extensions. The property is double glazed throughout with 1930's style windows in keeping with the facade of the house. A traditional tiled porch with quarry tiled step leads to the front door and into the hallway, where there is a wall mounted entry phone for the electric gates.

The stairs rise to the right with turned balustrade and a useful understairs cupboard. The sitting room used to be two rooms but now benefits from a double aspect with doors out to the patio to the rear of the house. An open fireplace houses a wood burning stove and there is a door to the large Garden Room: Ideal for larger social gatherings, heated and carpeted with a solid roof, skylights and partially double glazed and brick elevations with doors to both the front and rear gardens.

The Kitchen/Breakfast room has been re-fitted with modern units in very recent years and now has extensive granite work surfaces, smooth soft close drawers and doors and barely used fitted dishwasher, Bosch electric microwave, grill, eye level oven and extractor hood. In addition there are still the original tall built-in crockery cupboards, walk-in larder/cold room and broom cupboard. The utility/boot room is large and has space for white goods and houses the Worcester Bosch wall mounted gas fired boiler and has a w.c. off. Door to the side of the house and driveway.

On the first floor there is a split landing with an archway through to the two smaller bedrooms. It may have been one large room originally. The main bathroom has been modernised with a large walk-in shower, w.c., wash basin and built-in airing cupboard. There are two larger double bedrooms, one of which has a range of built-in wardrobes, side tables, wall arch and dressing table with lovely view to the front and the other has two double cupboards and a duck's nest fireplace and a really lovely view over the garden and woodland.

Outside: The property is approached via electric, wrought iron gates hung from two brick pillars. The driveway goes to the side of the house and around to a turning area to the rear, in front of a DOUBLE OPEN BARN GARAGE AND SINGLE LOCK UP GARAGE. Patios abut the rear of the house and extensive level lawns are interspersed at the side of the house with mature flowering shrubs and beds. A Laurel hedge denotes the boundary to the left and to the right is a woodland. Further down the garden there is a lovely woodland with a variety of traditional English species. There is a high canopy (which should allow the bluebells to grow profusely) and a stream.

SERVICES: Mains gas central heating. Private drainage. Tax Band G.

The house is semi rural, backing onto and adjoining private woodland. The location is convenient for road links to Tunbridge Wells, Eastbourne, Lewes and Brighton and Uckfield. There are main line stations at Uckfield, Crowborough and Buxted which can be reached in 20 to 10 minutes respectively.
The nearest amenities are in Cross in Hand, 1 mile away. Here there is a primary school, bakers, petrol station with general store, rugby and tennis club and Isenhurst Health and Fitness Club. Heathfield is only 2.6 miles and offers a wide range of local shops, three supermarkets, secondary school and medical amenities. There are many clubs and societies within the vicinity and a bus route from the end of the lane to Tunbridge Wells, Eastbourne and Uckfield through to Brighton.

Directions: From Heathfield proceed on the A267 towards Tunbridge Wells. Pass through Cross in Hand and Jewsons on the right. On reaching bollards for a left turning, turn left into Mayfield Flat. Go past woodland until reaching the first house on the right with electric gates.
