Watch the video | PSPhomes are delighted to introduce 'Old Inn House' - an enormous and beautiful detached Victorian home of 3,700 sq ft with an attached annexe, southerly gardens and a rich history as the former 'Railway Inn' until the mid 1960s. No chain and viewing considered essential.
Introducing...Old Inn House
PSPhomes are delighted to introduce Old Inn House to the market. This beautiful period property has an interesting history being The Railway Inn public house until circa 1963 and is ideally located for Balcombe’s mainline station, perfect for commuters, whilst sitting on a plot of approximately 1/3 of an acre (in total).
Externally the house offers plenty of kerb appeal with classic Victorian symmetry and Flemish brick bond under a slate tiled roof. Internally the house boasts truly exceptional (3,700 sq ft) and highly versatile accommodation that is perfect for a sizable family with up to six bedrooms and four reception rooms, including separate annexe accommodation.
A sizeable entrance hall leads through to the 19ft dual aspect sitting room with focal point open fireplace and ‘French’ doors onto the garden. The bespoke country kitchen has plenty of storage space, granite worktops and flows on to a breakfast room with attractive tiled and brick flooring and stairs that lead down to the sizeable cellar.
There is also a separate living room/snug with an open fireplace that would be a perfect playroom, a separate dining room with some impressive cabinetry for books and a large conservatory. The ground floor also has a shower room and a large utility room.
On the first floor is a impressive galleried landing that leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is dual aspect, extends to an impressive 18ft with beautiful views over the garden and has its own dressing room and large en-suite.
The second and third bedrooms extend to 23ft and 22ft respectively, whilst bedroom four is 15ft with an attractive fireplace. Each is served by the family bathroom.
Further attributes include gas fired central heating, solar hot water for kitchen and first floor bathrooms, double glazed (predominantly) sash windows and no onward chain.
The Annexe...
The separate annexe is completely soundproofed from the rest of the house, has its own private street entrance, and runs on a separate electricity meter. There is an open plan living room/kitchenette and double bedroom and separate bathroom. This space would be perfect for an au-pair or live-in relative who wanted their own privacy.
Step Outside...
In total, the plot extends to approximately 1/3 acre. The beautiful gardens are predominantly south facing, established and well stocked with a plethora of pretty flowers, trees, plants and shrubs. There is a historic well (believed to date from 18th century) and paved terraces for ‘al-fresco’ dining.
The large vegetable patches, fruit cages and chicken runs provide an opportunity for a self-sufficient garden.
To the north side is driveway parking for several cars.
The Location...
Old Inn House enjoys an elevated position on London Road within the sought-after village of Balcombe, close to the mainline station, perfect for commuters. Village facilities include numerous shops and stores, tea room, Half Moon Inn community owned pub, social club, church, sports clubs, primary school and the mainline train station providing links to London, Gatwick Airport and Brighton.
Haywards Heath and Crawley offer more extensive shopping and leisure facilities in addition to mainline railway stations (Balcombe to Victoria/London Bridge in approx 40 mins). By road, access to surrounding areas is via the A23(M) which lies approximately 4.5 miles to the west at Handcross or north at Maidenbower.
Balcombe is surrounded by beautiful wooded Sussex countryside. To the east are Balcombe Lake and Ardingly Reservoir with their variety of footpaths, bridleways and angling/sporting facilities including canoeing, kayaking and swimming. The area is renowned for the standard of its schooling in both the private and state sectors. A school bus runs through the village providing transport to Warden Park secondary school in the neighbouring village of Cuckfield.
