House For Sale £650,000
Guide price £650,000 - £675,000 Southview Cottage is a fabulous four double bedroom character cottage which benefits from great ground floor living space, a favoured South-Westerly aspect garden and off road parking whilst being located in a central location within the popular village of Lingfield.
We like the fact that the property is accessed via an entrance porch as it allows space to welcome guests and to take off jackets and shoes, so often you will find with character cottages that you walk directly into a sitting room so we feel that this is a great feature. In our opinion the ground floor flows particularly well with well proportioned reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast/dining room. A feature gas fireplace provides for the perfect centre point in the dual aspect sitting room with doors that open out onto the rear patio. The home benefits from a second reception room which we feel is important for any growing family, this could work well as a home study, play-room or snug, it also features an openhearth fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast/dining room sits to the rear of the house and is full of character with a vaulted ceiling, tiled floor and exposed beams. The kitchen area has space for a freestanding range cooker as well as a variety of solid oak wall and base level storage units which are complimented with granite worktops in addition to a moveable breakfast island. The dining area can cater for a large 6-8 seat dining table and double doors open out onto the rear garden. A useful utility room completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, on the first floor you will find two double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom, the master bedroom is a great size that benefits from large built in storage and an en-suite. Stairs rise to the top floor where you will find two further bedrooms.
Outside, off road parking is provided to the front whilst the rear garden has a favoured south/westerly aspect and is very easy to maintain. Shingle and paving runs down the centre of the garden with carefully stocked borders to the side, at the rear of the property sits a timber pergola with decking.
We understand that the property tenure is Freehold and that the Council Tax Band is Band D.
Location There are plenty of facilities on offer to local residents. The village is served by a Costa Coffee and Joyces with Best Wishes which is a lovely tea room which also sells cards, stationary and great chocolates. There are three award winning curry houses and an excellent Thai restaurant. Coughlans bakery is a recent addition to the village but is already a firm favourite with us! Both a Tesco Express and a Co-op offer the opportunity to carry out a larger shop. The market town of East Grinstead is only 4 miles away and offers more extensive shopping facilities. The village is served by two public houses with the Star offering a fantastic garden and excellent menu. Despite only opening a couple of years ago Wee Ones Nursery has a growing reputation and the village school is popular. Lingfield College is a highly regarded co-educational independent school,
Lingfield boasts an all weather racecourse and National Trust facilities are located locally at Wakehust Place and Standen House. Hever Castle is also only a short drive away. For those interested in golf and fitness, Chartham Park can be located within a short drive.
The mainline station offers regular services to East Croydon, London Bridge and Victoria. The nearby M25 is accessed at Godstone Junction 6, offering easy access to London, Brighton and Gatwick airports
