House For Sale £850,000
Watch the video | This spacious and highly flexible home is located in a prime location for Balcombe's mainline station and boasting glorious westerly views, with some spectacular sunsets!
The House...
An excellent detached family home enjoying an elevated cul-de-sac position with the most glorious westerly views over the High Weald aonb, situated in Balcombe – one of Mid Sussex’s most sought-after villages with a thriving community, highly regarded school and mainline station for commuters.
The accommodation offers spaciousness and versatility in equal measure and is perfect for modern family living. The inviting sitting room is dual aspect, enjoys a focal point fireplace and sliding doors on to the decking with beautiful views to woodland beyond. As the view is westerly there are often the most spectacular sunsets! For those who work from home, there is a separate study off the hall with a large fitted desk and fitted office shelves and storage. The house, as currently set up, also provides for multiple office spaces in the bedrooms on the ground floor and first floor to accommodate telecommuting by multiple family members."
The kitchen/diner is a great space for entertaining, extending to an impressive 24ft. There is underfloor heating, extensive units, quality granite worktops and a range of integrated ‘neff’ appliances including fridge/freezer, two ovens, microwave, warming tray, induction hob and dishwasher. Sliding doors open on to the decked sun terrace, again with gorgeous views.
There is a spacious 20ft ground floor bedroom, which can be used as a family room or cinema room
The ground floor also incorporates a conservatory, with utility area that leads to a covered storage area. There is also a cloakroom off the hall .
On the first floor, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom enjoys arguable the best views in the house and its own en-suite shower room. There are fitted wardrobes and the en-suite has an enormous wardrobe/cupboard space. The second and third bedrooms both have fitted wardrobes and are served by the modern family bathroom with overhead power shower.
Further attributes include gas fired central heating, double glazing, tasteful décor and Karndean flooring in the hallway.
Step Outside...
To the front is plenty of screening and privacy. A long, level driveway provides ample off road parking for several vehicles.
The rear garden enjoys a favoured westerly aspect, meaning plenty of afternoon/evening sunshine. The raised deck terrace provides the perfect spot for ‘al-fresco’ dining. Steps lead down to three tiers of lawn area. There are apple & pear trees and a brick built barbecue.
There is also a large basement/cellar space that provides useful storage, but also conversion opportunities subject to structural advice and permissions.
Scope/Potential...
There is, in our opinion, plenty of scope to extend the house, if required. There is room to extend over the family room to create additional first floor bedroom space. A neighbouring home has extended to the rear with a contemporary ‘box’ extension to maximise the view. Any work would of course be subject to planning.
The Location...
Bramble Mead is a quiet residential cul-de-sac within the sought after village of Balcombe, close to the mainline station (3 min walk. Balcombe's recreation ground can be accessed via a twitten at the end of the close and is perfect for children to play and/or to walk the dog. Village facilities include numerous shops and stores, tea room, village pub, social club, church, sports clubs, primary school (2 min walk) and the mainline train station providing regular services every 30 mins to London (40mins), Gatwick Airport and Brighton (22mins). Haywards Heath and Crawley offer more extensive shopping and leisure facilities in addition to mainline railway stations (Haywards Heath to Victoria or London Bridge both approximately 47mins). By road, access to surrounding areas can be gained via the A23(M) which lies approximately 4.5 miles to the west at Handcross or north at Maidenbower.
Balcombe is surrounded by beautiful Sussex countryside. To the east are Balcombe lake & Ardingly Reservoir (both within a 20 min walk approx) with their variety of footpaths, bridleways and angling facilities. The area is renowned for the standard of its schooling in both the private and state sectors with Balcombe Primary School being particularly reputable. A school bus runs through the village providing transport to Warden Park secondary school in the neighbouring village of Cuckfield. In the private sector Handcross Park School (which feeds to Brighton College) and Worth School are within easy reach by car, whilst Ardingly College, Great Walstead and Burgess Hill School for Girls are all easily accessible.
