Set within a wraparound garden yet walking distance to local shops, good choice of schools and the amenities of Heathfield, this detached five bedroom property with established garden, double garage, off street parking, tiled veranda and west facing patio offers a leafy, semi-rural lifestyle while still being within 15 minutes drive from railway stations serving London and the vibrant city of Brighton only a bus ride away. Inside the house the rooms are well proportioned with the high ceilings typical of the Edwardian era, a spacious hallway and a number of original features still in place while benefiting from the modern amenities of double glazing, electric shower, utility room, and conservatory. The well-established gardens offers different areas for relaxing, playing, entertaining or even harvesting your own fruit and vegetables with apple, plum, and pear trees and a vegetable plot, as well as a variety of rose bushes, and a wisteria that blooms over the balcony spanning the side length of the house. The double garage, shed and greenhouse offer opportunity for storage and/or more green-fingered activities while the bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and three reception rooms, bathroom and conservatory downstairs offer plenty of space for friends, family, and flexible living, playing and working. The kitchen diner provides space for entertaining, with a door leading out to the garden as well as two doors leading out from the conservatory making it easy to appreciate the generous outside space.
