The House...

Tucked away in a sought-after position in the heart of Balcombe, this beautifully presented 1950s tile-hung semi-detached home effortlessly blends classic character with contemporary comfort. Thoughtfully updated by the current owners, the property enjoys a commanding elevated setting with glorious views over surrounding woodland, while being just a short stroll from Balcombe’s mainline station—ideal for commuters heading into London or Brighton.

Inside, the home offers flexible and well-proportioned accommodation, perfectly suited to modern family life. The welcoming sitting room with log burner, perfect for cosy evenings in. While the remaining of the ground floor accommodation offers a stunning open-plan kitchen/family/dining room. Sleek, stylish, and filled with natural light, this is a fantastic space for everyday living and entertaining alike, with French doors opening directly onto the garden for seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A separate, neatly tucked-away utility room keeps the practicalities out of sight.

Upstairs, you'll find three genuine double bedrooms, each enjoying peaceful green outlooks, the main bedroom benefiting from built in storage. And all served by a modern and well-appointed family bathroom.

The property has also benefited from significant behind-the-scenes upgrades in recent years, including full rewiring, replumbing, and a new boiler—ensuring peace of mind for years to come.

The large loft is already boarded with ladder access and lighting, presenting clear potential for conversion (subject to necessary consents), whether you dream of a home office, guest suite, or fourth bedroom.

Step Outside...

To the front of the house, a well-maintained garden sets a welcoming tone, with neatly edged lawns and attractive planting offering immediate kerb appeal. There's vast potential here to create off-road parking for multiple vehicles, as many neighbouring properties have done—ideal for modern family living or visiting guests.

Around the property, the beautifully landscaped wrap-around gardens are a true highlight, designed to provide both tranquillity and functionality. The generous lawns are perfect for children to run and play freely, while the raised, decked terraces create a stunning backdrop for summer al fresco dining, evening drinks, or weekend entertaining.

Mature trees and well-established borders brim with ornamental shrubs, offering bursts of colour and interest throughout the year. Tucked-away seating areas provide peaceful spots to unwind, and the natural layout ensures privacy and a sense of seclusion rarely found in such a convenient location.
