Tucked behind a gated driveway on circa 1.25 acres, this substantial five-bedroom detached house blends Tudor-Revival aesthetics with modern comfort. Constructed in the late 2000s, the home offers spacious reception rooms, a large vaulted snug, and a well-fitted kitchen that open directly onto a broad paved patio — ideal for family entertaining and country living.
The principal suite benefits from a Juliet balcony and a luxurious en suite; two further bedrooms share a contemporary en suite and a family bathroom, all with underfloor heating. Practical spaces include an office, utility room, cloakroom and excellent storage, plus a double garage with additional stores and carport. Recent sustainability upgrades include solar PV panels installed in 2023 and a 5.7kWh inverter and battery, reducing reliance on the grid.
Notable running costs and site specifics should be considered: the property is in Council Tax Band G and uses a private sewage treatment plant. The wider area has an ageing demographic and is classified as a communal retirement-type neighbourhood, which may affect local demand for some buyer types. The house sits 1.6 miles from East Grinstead station and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuters and home-workers.
This is a family-sized, freehold home with generous grounds and versatile outbuildings. It will suit buyers seeking substantial indoor space and established gardens who are comfortable with a higher council tax band and private drainage arrangements.
