Beautifully presented, 4-bedroom semi-detached Victorian house situated on the rural periphery of Groombridge village on the historic border between the Goldsmith’s and Eridge estates. This property offers a unique blend of rural charm, character and modern living, having been the subject of extensive improvement works by the current owners. The house enjoys stunning views over farmland to the rear and is adjacent to Birchden Woods, offering lovely rural walks with a footpath through farmland leading directly to the local primary school.
The ground floor features a spacious triple aspect sitting room with woodburner and doors to the rear garden and a separate, cosy family room or snug also with a woodburner and set off the hallway. The L-shaped kitchen/dining room really does offer the WOW factor, with doors opening to the garden, a super corner larder cupboard and appliances including twin integrated dishwashers to help make entertaining a breeze, and a fridge/freezer. There is a range cooker possibly available by separate negotiation and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer in the utility/boot room. Also on the ground floor, is the family shower room, perfect for anyone returning home from muddy sports or leaving early in the morning without disturbing the rest of the family. Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom with marble topped vanity unit and thermostatic shower over the bath as well as having underfloor heating, and an additional cloakroom. The bedrooms all enjoy beautiful views over the garden and surrounding countryside to the front and rear.
The gardens are a particular highlight, with lawns to three sides, featuring wildflowers to the front, and a decked terrace to the rear. The south-west facing rear garden provides plenty of space for keen gardeners to create their dream garden or for children to play. The property also benefits from a recently built garage, which fits a large SUV along with the built-in workbench and the loft space is boarded to provide useful storage. The garage has an attached garden office which is insulated for year round use, with power and internet connected, making this a truly lovely space for working from home, overlooking the gardens. There is driveway parking for two cars to the front of the garage which is at the rear of the property, with plenty of unrestricted parking on the lane to the front.
This really is a super family house and must be viewed in person to fully appreciate the unique setting and all this home has to offer. Video tour available on request.
