We love the setting and space offered by this modern, executive family home which is ideally located within easy walking distance of the town centre and mainline railway station. Constructed in 2013 by Crest Nicholson, this beautifully presented property is also being sold with the benefit of no ongoing chain and being just a few minutes walk from Imberhorne School. The house is also adjacent to the famous Worth Way, a 7 mile route from Three Bridges to East Grinstead which follows the old railway line, and is a popular wildlife corridor for use by cyclists, runners and horse riders.

The front door opens into a spacious entrance hallway with a large understairs cupboard, perfect for storing shoes and coats, and a cloakroom to the side. A log burning stove provides the perfect focal point for the double aspect sitting room which has bi-folding doors opening to the rear garden. The bright and airy kitchen/dining room also benefits from a double aspect with further access to the garden and is certainly the hub of this family home. It boasts a range of fitted base and eye level units, plenty of preparation space and a number of built-in SMEG appliances including a double oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. There is also a breakfast bar and space for a large dining table and chairs which sits nicely in the bay window at the front. The kitchen is complimented by a utility room which is ideally positioned to it’s side and has space for a washing machine, an additional sink and a door to the garden. Another reception room which can easily be used as a playroom or study completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, the double aspect master bedroom boasts an ensuite shower room with walk-in shower cubicle and a dressing room with a range of wardrobes with sliding doors. There are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Externally, the property benefits from driveway parking for two vehicles leading to an electronically operated garage with plenty of storage space, power outlets and light as well as rear access door from the garden. The sunny South-Westerly facing rear garden was originally landscaped for the owners and features seven trees around the perimeter that have been specifically planted and trained for privacy. The garden is mostly laid to lawn with an abundance of shrubs and a fig tree that bore fruit last year. There is a large patio seating area which is bordered by a bed of herbs and conifers with an olive tree that acts as a canopy.
