Hermitage Road, East Grinstead

This beautifully extended and refurbished home sits in an elevated position with far reaching views, within walking distance of East Grinstead town centre. We love the open plan kitchen/living room and believe that this property will appeal to buyers looking for a ‘finished’ home which has great entertaining space for family and friends. A solid oak door opens into an entrance hallway with a large coats and shoes cupboard, and stairs rising to the first floor. The triple aspect kitchen/living room is a real ‘wow’ room and is certainly the hub of the house. The kitchen has been beautifully refitted to include a range of base and eye level storage cupboards, Quartz worksurfaces, a Rangemaster cooker and an integrated dishwasher and fridge. There is also a large breakfast bar with oak worksurfaces and further storage below which separates the kitchen and living areas perfectly. The living area has plenty of space for sofas and other furniture. There is a dining room with built-in storage which looks over the front garden. The ground floor is completed by a double bedroom which benefits from built-in wardrobes and a refitted bathroom boasting a double length shower cubicle.

On the first floor, the master bedroom has veluxe windows and built-in storage. It also benefits from a separate area, perfect for a study or nursery. It has a window seat and built-in wardrobes and plenty of space for a desk or a cot. There is another double bedroom which also has a window seat and storage. The two bedrooms are served by a stunning family bathroom which boasts a bath and walk-in shower cubicle.

Outside, to the front there is a driveway providing parking for three vehicles. There are steps rising to the front door and a raised planted area and lawn. The westerly facing rear garden is a real sun trap. It comprises patio seating area giving over to decking with raised flower borders.

There is also the added bonus of a detached outbuilding which has been split into two. One half is set up as a utility room which benefits from a number of storage cupboards, belfast sink, wooden worksurfaces, space and plumbing for a washing machine and an American fridge freezer. The other half is a great storage area with plenty of wooden shelving.
