Description
Situated in a discreet, rural location, a Grade II listed Coach House of considerable charm and character with an abundance of period features, generous proportions and a spacious, versatile layout
Set in a marvellous rural location on a country estate, the Coach House is believed to date back to the 18th century and has all the wonderful period features one would expect with rendered and beamed facades under a cat-slide roof and attractive leaded light windows. It is presented in immaculate condition throughout where the exposed beams and open fireplaces blend seamlessly with the more modern aspects of the house. These include underfloor heating in much of the ground floor, air conditioning in three of the bedrooms and the sleek gloss cabinetry in the generously proportioned kitchen/dining room. The focal point of this room is the fabulous electric Aga set within a brick surround as well as a large island unit and plenty of space for a breakfast table and this double aspect room has outlooks to the garden to the rear and French doors out to the newly decked terrace area. The family room to the front has a beautiful, vaulted ceiling and exposed beams and to the other side of the charming entrance hall with traditional flagstones, is the sitting room, again with exposed beams with a snug area on the upper level of this space. There is a useful study to the rear, again with French doors out and access to one of two staircases to the top floor. On this side are two double bedrooms, both well-served by the family shower room and from main staircase off the entrance hall is the double aspect principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom as well as a further bedroom, separate shower room and dressing room (which could become a fifth bedroom if required).
Outside
Approached via a long track, there is a very generous gravel parking area to the front of the house with flagstones up to the imposing oak front door, whilst a driveway is accessed via electric gates round to a further parking area and 3 bay car port with workshop. A substantial weatherboarded outbuilding, built to complement the traditional features of the house, can be used as a gym, a useful “work from home” office or a summerhouse as it is adjacent to the large decked area which joins the side of the house. Whilst this is the perfect spot for entertaining, there are further terraced areas directly behind the house with sweeping lawns and shrub borders following the natural contours of the land as well as a separate small paddock on the other side of the bridleway. The total plot extends to approximately 1 acre.
Situation
Hollow Lane is a private road in a semi-rural location on the outskirts of East Grinstead which offers comprehensive shopping and leisure facilities. Dormans Station is within easy reach (2.1 miles) with services to Victoria and London Bridge in 51 minutes or Lingfield Station (3.3 miles) – 48 minutes to London. The A264 leads out of the town to the M23, which connects London, the airport at Gatwick and the south coast. The area is renowned for the standard of its schooling in both the private and state sectors, as well as recreational facilities such as the Bluebell Railway, cycling on the Worth Way, golf and horseracing at Lingfield Park and easy access to the Ashdown Forest, home to A.A Milne’s Winnie the Pooh.
