Description

Guide price £750,000 - £775,000
A rare opportunity to acquire this expansive, three-storey detached family home, situated in a prestigious location on the edge of St. Leonards, offering excellent access to all major amenities. The property is presented in immaculate condition throughout, boasting a fantastic layout with bright, spacious rooms and a delightful garden.

On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance porch leads into a stylish reception hallway with beautiful wood flooring. There is a useful ground floor shower room.

The generous sitting room is bright and airy, featuring a large double-glazed bay window to the front and a gas, coal-effect fire with a tiled hearth, surround, and mantelpiece. The separate dining room is equally spacious and includes a double-glazed sliding door opening to the rear garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of base units, drawers, and matching wall units with under-cabinet lighting. The worktops feature a one-and-a-half bowl sink unit with a mixer tap. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, four-ring halogen hob, extractor hood with light, fridge, and dishwasher. This room offers ample space for a breakfast table and chairs, with a double-glazed window overlooking the rear garden and a part-glazed door leading to the covered side way.

A turning staircase with exposed balustrades leads to the first-floor landing, which is bright and airy with a double-glazed window to the front. The landing provides access to three well-sized bedrooms.

Bedroom Two is particularly impressive, offering ample space with a double-glazed bay window to the front and attractive wood flooring. Bedroom Three, another spacious double, enjoys views over the rear garden and benefits from a fitted double wardrobe. Bedroom Four is a comfortable single room, ideal as a bedroom or home office, and enjoys a dual aspect over the rear garden. The family bathroom is fitted with a modern suite.

From the landing, a staircase leads to the second floor, where a double-glazed Velux window lights the way. A door opens to the spacious Principal Bedroom suite, offering three double-glazed Velux windows with lovely views over the garden and towards the countryside beyond. There is also a Velux window to the front, access to useful eaves storage, and a fitted wardrobe with hanging space and additional storage above.

The Principal Bedroom includes its own en-suite shower room, fitted with a vanity wash hand basin with mixer tap and storage underneath, a close-coupled WC, a tiled shower enclosure with a mains shower unit and glazed screen, an electric shaver socket, and fully tiled walls. There is access to further eaves storage, and a double-glazed Velux window completes the suite.

The property is approached via a brick-paved driveway with a pillared entrance, providing off-road parking for approximately four cars, leading to the single garage with an up-and-over door, power, light, and housing the gas meter. There is also a side courtesy door. The front garden is laid to lawn with perimeter flower and shrub beds.

To one side of the garage, a door opens to a covered side path offering additional storage. Another door leads to the rear garden. The utility room, which is located off the side path, provides plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and houses the wall-mounted boiler. Doors from the side path give access to both the garage and the kitchen.

The rear garden is a standout feature of the property, measuring approximately 100ft in length and benefiting from a pleasant westerly aspect. The garden is predominantly laid to well-maintained lawn, with planted flower beds and a hedged boundary. A stunning rhododendron tree adds to the charm, displaying beautiful purple blossoms when in bloom. There is also a useful brick-built storage outhouse, an outside tap, and a courtesy light. A brick-paved path and gate lead to the front of the house.

This property was built in the 1950s by a local builder and has been lovingly cared for by the current owners for over two decades. A loft conversion was completed in 2004, adding further space. The property enjoys stunning views over the gardens and towards Haldon Forest, making it a truly special family home.

Plans for a single-storey extension are available, offering the potential to create a large, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room. All enquiries and planning permission would need to be obtained independently.
