For Sale5 Bedroom Detached House in By Sunte, Lindfield, RH16£1,495,000

An exceptional Edwardian character home fresh from a sympathetic renovation, with a landscaped garden and desirable setting in the picturesque village of Lindfield Occupying a good-size plot within the much desired village of Lindfield, this detached family home offers an abundance of space inside and out. The Edwardian property is arranged over two floors and offers more than 2100 sq ft, with the added benefit of a detached garden studio which is a fantastic addition for home working. The house was bought by the vendor as a project and has been subject to a meticulous renovation which has kept the character of the home while modernising it throughout. As well as the internal improvements, the exterior has been updated to include a new driveway, landscaping and plenty of space to enjoy the outside. Interior: The outside offers excellent kerb appeal and hints at the stylish interiors within. The full renovation included new electrics, plumbing, heating and the partial conversion of the garage to a downstairs bedroom, as well as a fully cosmetic makeover with virtually every room having a full facelift. The interiors are a riot of pattern and colour, from the tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms to the wallpaper in the downstairs cloakroom. Despite being modernised for the 21st century, much of the Edwardian character remains: there’s parquet flooring in the reception rooms and hallway, wooden doors and fireplace surrounds, picture rails and wall panelling. This was a real passion project, and no expense has been spared on updating this home for the modern day. The accommodation is a great size for families but is equally well suited to couples desiring extra space. The ground floor is entered via an entrance hall with good storage, which leads to a formal sitting room, a 25ft family room, a ground floor bedroom with en suite shower room (perfect for visiting guests), and the open plan kitchen and dining room to the rear, which has an adjoining pantry and laundry room. Upstairs the principal bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite shower room, while the remaining three bedrooms share a family bathroom. Outside A lovely, leafy front garden provides a welcoming first impression, with the brick driveway wrapping around a central lawn and the wooden fencing and garage door painted the same colour as the front door and windows – the house is certainly one of the best looking houses on the street. There’s plenty of private parking on the driveway and in front of the garage, which has the traditional Edwardian double doors. The rear garden is south facing and has been beautifully landscaped to create an oasis to relax in, with the sizeable terrace stepping down to a lawn bordered by mature trees providing a high degree of privacy. A delightful feature has been made of the stream, which is crossed by a grass bridge leading to a sunken trampoline, a second seating area and – tucked away behind lush borders – the detached studio, which is sound proof and has light and power.
