House For Sale £600,000
The Bluebell Railway was one of the first preserved heritage lines in the country, running steam trains between Sheffield Park and East Grinstead.
What can be more romantic than the sound of a majestic locomotive emerging from the nearby Sharpthorne tunnel?
Now. Moving on from the historical railway line to what this 2003 build can offer you.
Starting as you pull up - a large driveway with parking available for 2-3 vehicles, so no concerns of where to park will ever occur. You also have the added bonus of an integrated garage.
Heading into Bluebell Villa the front of the property is where the gorgeous kitchen / diner is located. Plenty of work surface space to cook up your evening meals and at the other end you will have your table & chairs plus a seating area to socialise with the family.
Down the hallway you have your more formal seating area, a fantastic L-shaped lounge with French patio doors heading out to your rear garden.
To finish off downstairs we have a cloakroom and the utility area, located at the rear of the garage. Perfect to get all the laundry out of sight and out of mind!
The first floor has four double bedrooms, 3 of which have built in wardrobe space with the master bedroom containing a fabulous en-suite and the family bathroom with both a walk-in shower and a bath tub
The mature back garden is a joy, with mature flower beds and a lawn heading down to the shed at the end which has power connected so could be turned into a studio/office if needed.
This well insulated property benefits from renewable technology for heating and hot water. Comprising an air source heat pump with back up electric boiler and solar thermal panels, all controlled by an easy to use multizone heating control system.
Sharpthorne is a quiet village - the most notable thing about it being the Bluebell tunnel which runs beneath it - but there is a local Costcutter shop and a small number of local businesses such as a garage with mot centre, Vineyard and a micro brewery all within walking distance.
Being in a country village means there's so much to enjoy on your doorstep, with the Wier Wood Reservoir nearby - perfect if you're into angling or want to try your hand at sailing.
West Hoathly CofE Primary School (rated "Good" by Ofsted) is only a 3 minute drive away.
The closest school for older children is Imberhorne in East Grinstead (another "Good" school), which is a 12 minute drive away but the school also provides coach transportation to and from in the mornings and afternoons.
East Grinstead is your closest town, where you'll find all the leading big name stores along with local independent stores and coffee shops.
Arts lovers are well served by the renowned Chequer Mead Theatre and Arts Centre. The 230 seat theatre is the only purpose built venue between London and the south coast.
On that note, East Grinstead is handy for getting to London or the coast, with regular services to Victoria taking around an hour. The modern Southern trains won't be half as nice as the steam trains though...
This charming semi would make a lovely family home, and will be even more attractive if you're into vintage trains or celebrity spotting - did I mention dreamy Colin Firth filmed Kingsman in the Sharpthorne tunnel.
If this sounds like your kind of property, call Daniel Barnes today to arrange a viewing.

About Daniel Barnes:
Hi, i'm Daniel Barnes, partner of Amy and Father to Haydn & Blake, and I am your local, bespoke estate agent.
What's a bespoke estate agent? One who wants to improve your property sale experience by delivering exactly the service you need to sell your home on your terms.
I offer a truly unique service, tailored to the particular needs of each seller.
And I can do this as I only take on a limited number of properties at any one time.
This means I can give my clients direct access, service & contactability levels previously unheard of in the industry.
How do I know that? Because before setting up on my own in 2021 I had many years working at a senior level in the property industry.
So you won't ever be passed from pillar to post, or bounced between faceless agents with no knowledge of your property or position.
I am with with you every step of the way.
From the initial enquiry, to the valuation, showing potential buyers around your home, negotiating the very best price and then all the way to handing over keys to your new buyer.
Like the sound of that? If you're thinking of selling, please give me a call to see if I have availability to take on your home.
