Description
A substantial family home with large and established gardens and an outdoor heated swimming pool in the popular village of Wadhurst
Found in the High Weald National Landscape on the edge of Wadhurst Village, Little Durgates is a generous family home tucked back from the road with a gated driveway, glorious gardens and flexible accommodation that can be arranged to suit.
The ground floor offers four reception rooms in total together with a wide spanning kitchen/breakfast/dining room enjoying an outlook to the garden. The kitchen is fitted with shaker style cabinetry topped with wooden work surfaces to one side and granite to the other, providing plentiful storage and preparation space. The dining area provides substantial space for a dining table and has the added benefit of a stylish wood-burning stove. There is an adjoining utility room with space for both a washing machine and dryer, continuing onto the garage area which is generous in size and offers a range of uses currently arranged as a gym but may offer potential for an annexe subject to relevant permissions and consent.
The sitting room has herringbone style panelling and solid wooden floor together with a large bay window and an open fireplace. There is an additional reception room used as a snug/TV room ideal for teenagers or perhaps a play room. There are two further flexible spaces, one being the garden room which has an abundance of windows providing wonderful views over the grounds as well as a conservatory currently arranged as a hobby room.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room with twin sink units. There are four further bedrooms, three of which are doubles and also benefit from fitted wardrobes served by two family bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms have an added benefit of adjoining eaves rooms, creating ideal study/desk spaces.
Outside, the mature gardens extend to approximately 1.24 acres and provide a great sense of seclusion and privacy with an abundance of mature trees and shrubbery whilst still providing a wealth of sunlight. The garden is arranged in sections that all offer slightly different purpose; steps lower from the kitchen past the herb and olive courtyard towards the fruit garden with strawberries and raspberries, together with a range of fruit trees including pear, apple and plum and also offering an ideal space for keeping poultry.
The steps also lead to a pathway veering left towards the wide-spanning terrace housing the heated swimming pool and providing an ideal area to entertain friends. There is also firepit overlooking the lower levelled lawn which offers an area for child's play and sport, together with a tree-deck and cutting garden on the upper level.
To the front, the gated driveway provides parking for several vehicles with access to the remaining area of the garage used as a store.
