House For Sale £695,000
Ruperts is a very well presented family home with excellent proportions, a practical layout and sits in the middle of its plot, set back and screened from the road.
The accommodation on the ground floor consists of a light and generous entrance hallway leading to a comfortable double aspect sitting room providing views over the front and rear gardens. There is a wood burning stove and double doors provide access to the rear garden and patio seating area. Leading off the hallway is a large study with views over the rear garden. The superb fully fitted kitchen has a range cooker and extractor, integrated appliances and breakfast bar with a fitted utility room leading off. Adjoining, and open plan to the kitchen, is a spacious garden/family room providing an incredible entertaining space. Bi-fold doors opening to the rear garden, flood the room with light and frame the garden views providing a wonderful sense of space and interaction between the inside and outside. There is an internal door to the double garage.
Moving to the first floor the large principle bedroom has built in storage and a newly fitted en suite bathroom with distant views over Ashdown Forest. There are 3 further double bedrooms, a newly fitted family bathroom with separate bath and shower and ladder access to a useful full height loft area storage.
The property also benefits from wonderful well stocked and level front and rear gardens planted to provide all year round interest. The front garden enjoys a heritage pond, greenhouse and further amenity areas (currently used for log storage and chickens) with discreet access to the oil tank to the side of the house. There are a number of flower beds planted with mature trees and shrubs and the block paved driveway provides parking for several vehicles (with enough space to accommodate a caravan/motorhome). The sw facing landscaped rear garden has a large Indian sand-stone patio running the full width of the house, fronting the lawn area which is surrounded by well stocked borders of mature shrubs and specimen trees providing a secluded environment. There is an additional entertaining area, raised beds for keen vegetable growers and garden shed tucked away to the side of the house. A paved path to the side of the property provides access between the front and rear garden.
Set well back from the village road Ruperts is within walking distance of the centre of the village of Nutley and its amenities as well as Ashdown Forest (please note Ruperts comes with Commoners rights to the Forest). Nutley has a useful village shop, two restaurants, a public house, a church, squash and tennis courts, village green with playground, clubs and societies catering for a wide interest and excellent Primary & Pre-Schools. There are many other highly regarded schools in the area including Uckfield Community College, Cumnor House, Brambletye, Great Walstead, and Ardingly College amongst others.
The surrounding countryside is sensational with endless walks to be had across the 6,500 acre open-access Ashdown Forest which lies just across the road from Ruperts. The historic village of Fletching is a short drive away with the award-winning Griffin Inn Pub. Further comprehensive shopping, leisure and transport facilities can be found at the old market towns of Uckfield, Haywards Heath, East Grinstead or Tunbridge Wells. Rail services: Haywards Heath (11 miles, London Bridge/Victoria from 42 minutes) Uckfield (6.2 miles, London Bridge from 1hr 10), East Grinstead (8.5 miles, London Bridge/Victoria from 57 minutes).
