Description:

Impressive and stunning Victorian detached house at the centre of the popular village of Hartfield. This magnificent property has all the ingredients to make a wonderful family home, including spacious and versatile reception rooms, large bedrooms, carports and a wonderful patio area, complete with a swimming pool.

Hartfield is a beautiful and historic village on the edge of the Ashdown Forest in Sussex. Good local amenities are within close walking distance and include a general store, primary school, ancient parish church, doctor's surgery and two public houses. The small towns of Forest Row and Crowborough provide an excellent range of shops and facilities for day to day needs, including supermarkets. The regional town of Royal Tunbridge Wells provides more comprehensive shopping facilities, including multiple stores and the Royal Victoria Place shopping centre. For the commuter, there are train services from East Grinstead to Victoria/London Bridge and from Tunbridge Wells to Charing Cross/Cannon Street (journey times taking just under the hour). More locally there is Cowden Station with trains to London Bridge (approx. 50 minutes).

Entering the property, one is struck by the grandeur of the entrance hall, with a balustrade lined flight of stairs stretching up to the upper levels, bare wooden flooring and sumptuous d£cor. On the ground floor are found a total of three large reception rooms, ideal for entertaining and relaxing in equal measure. The cosy sitting room features built in cupboards and shelving - ideal for a good book collection - with the log burning stove providing the warmth for sitting and relaxing in the evening. The drawing room and music room feature open fireplaces and attractive bay windows, as well as the corniced high ceilings to be found throughout the ground floor, providing excellent spaces for entertaining.

The kitchen is built in a traditional country style, with rustic wooden cupboard facings and granite worktops, a large American style fridge/freezer, integrated dishwasher and a large AGA set into a yellow brick chimney breast, all tastefully lit by downlighters, giving it a modern feel. The kitchen has a central island, ideal for cooking up a feast, and the opposite end of the room has space for a large dining table - enough space to seat 10 or 12 guests comfortably. There is also a utility room off the kitchen, containing a washing machine and tumble dryer, with plenty of space for those muddy Wellington boots, as well as a cloakroom.

On the first floor are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The spacious master bedroom features an opulent, wood panelled en-suite bathroom with a standalone bathtub and attractively carved shelving and mirror above the sink. The other double bedrooms are both large and stylishly decorated, while the bathroom has a separate shower and bath.

On the top floor are two further double bedrooms with far reaching views across the village and surrounding countryside and another family bathroom.

Outside, the property is surrounded by its own grounds. These include attractively arranged areas of lawn and planted beds, an expansive patio and barbecue area and a covered and heated swimming pool - an excellent location for summer entertaining!

To the front of the property is a gravelled driveway edged with red brick walls, accessed via an electric gate and ending at a double carport, with additional lean-to storage to the side.

Further to this, at the rear of the property is a detached Annexe, currently used for furniture storage by the landlord. This may be available at a negotiable cost on top of the advertised rent if required.

The property has gas central heating and is in Council Tax Band G. EPC E49

Tenants wishing to use the swimming pool should be aware that its maintenance is at their own expense.
