4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Waldron, Heathfield TN21

AP Estate Agents are delighted to present Dengates Farm, a property that once formed part of a working farm and has since been transformed through an extensive, high‐quality renovation only a few years ago. The current owner has taken great care to enhance every aspect of the home, creating a beautifully finished residence that blends period charm with modern comfort. A plaque dated 1910 sits proudly on the front elevation, a reminder of the property’s heritage. Today, this handsome semi‐detached Edwardian home offers almost 1,650 sq ft of accommodation arranged over three floors. The ground floor features three reception rooms, each with access to the garden, along with a large, re‐fitted kitchen. Upstairs, you will find four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and an en‐suite. As part of the renovation, the property has been re‐wired, fitted with a new central heating system, updated plumbing, new windows, and insulation to the floors and ceilings. The attic has also been converted, creating an additional versatile room. Dengates Farm is a wonderful example of a period home restored with care, offering generous space, character, and modern convenience in equal measure.
Inside the property


The property is entered via a reconstructed porch, rebuilt in full as part of the renovation works. This welcoming space provides practical hanging room for coats and ample floor space for shoes. Stepping through the front door into the main hallway, you immediately feel the sense of openness; a large picture window above the staircase floods the area with natural light, and a useful understairs cupboard offers excellent storage. The living room is a warm and inviting space, centred around a log burner set on a tiled hearth, with a built‐in cupboard to one side of the chimney breast. Double‐glazed doors open directly onto a patio in the rear garden, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor connection. The second reception room is currently arranged as a generous dining room, enjoying a lovely outlook over the front garden. It makes an ideal setting for entertaining, complete with an original cast‐iron fireplace featuring decorative tiled surrounds and built‐in storage to one side. From here, you can walk through to the lounge, a versatile and well‐proportioned room with double‐glazed doors to the garden, a charming solid‐fuel aga range cooker, and direct access into the kitchen. The kitchen spans the full width of the house and will be a dream for many, fitted with an extensive range of shaker‐style units. Appliances include an eye‐level electric double oven, halogen hob with stainless‐steel extractor, integrated dishwasher and washing machine, plus space for a fridge freezer. The combination of light cabinetry, quarry‐tiled flooring and matching splashback tiles creates a bright, airy environment enhanced by multiple windows. From the kitchen, a door leads into the cloakroom, which offers additional storage units with worktop space, plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, a WC, extra stainless steel sink with drainer, heated towel rail and wash basin with storage beneath. A further door provides access out to the rear garden.
Upstairs


The stairwell is generously proportioned and features a large picture window overlooking the front of the property, allowing natural light to pour in. At the top of the stairs, a galleried landing offers enough space for occasional furniture or a small seating area, enhancing the sense of openness. A significant amount of reconfiguration has taken place on the first floor, and every bedroom has been thoughtfully improved as part of the renovation. Each room benefits from built‐in storage, and the overall standard of finish — as the photographs will show — is excellent. The principal bedroom enjoys wonderful views across open fields and includes a well‐appointed en‐suite, complete with a walk‐in shower cubicle, a freestanding roll‐top bath, WC and wash basin. Bedroom Two is a generous double, featuring fitted cupboards on either side of a chimney breast with an ornamental period fireplace inset. A large window frames views over the front of the property. Bedroom Three is of equal size, offering a single fitted wardrobe, another period fireplace, and views across the rear garden. The family bathroom includes a walk‐in corner shower, a separate panelled bath, WC and wash basin. Bedroom Four is accessed via its own staircase. Halfway up, the vendor has cleverly retained loft storage on both sides, neatly concealed behind cupboard doors. The bedroom itself could accommodate a double bed, though it would be more comfortable as a single due to the slightly restricted head height. A recess on the landing provides an ideal space for hanging storage or an additional cupboard, while a Velux window ensures the area remains bright and airy.
Outside


The property is approached via a shared entrance, opening onto a generous parking area suitable for multiple vehicles, set within a neatly lawned front garden. Tall hedging provides excellent privacy from the lane, while a newly laid pathway leads invitingly to the front door. To the rear, the garden is accessed through a five‐bar gate and features a patio adjoining the house, accessible from each of the rear reception rooms via double doors — perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. The remainder of the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with a timber‐framed shed and the oil tank for the central heating discreetly screened behind fencing. An outhouse, integral to the original structure but accessed externally, offers further useful storage. Historically used as a sow pen when the property formed part of a working farm, it now houses the central heating system and provides a practical additional space.
