Guide Price £550,000

A simply stunning three bedroom character cottage with a double garage and off road parking, perfectly situated in the heart of Lingfield Village.

DESCRIPTION We have fallen in love with this beautiful 15th Century period home which was originally part of a Wealden Hall house and is believed to date back to 1460. Located in the centre of Lingfield and only a 10 minute walk to the main line station, this Grade II Listed property offers a wealth of character and charm throughout yet is presented in excellent order allowing a new purchaser to simply move straight in. There are many features for a new buyer to get excited about; from the original exposed timber beams and doors to the feature wood burning stove.

The front door opens into a large hallway where your attention is immediately drawn to the exposed sandstone wall and feature brick floor, it offers plenty of space for you to welcome guests and to take off shoes and coats. A wood burning stove provides the perfect focal point for the spacious dual aspect sitting/dining room which boasts a variety of original features. The owners have installed a reclaimed pamment tiled floor with electric underfloor heating and this compliments the exposed beams and medieval doorway featured in several historic scripts. Off of the room is a small study which has become a key feature in peoples searches with home schooling and home working becoming more common. Double doors open onto the garden. To the rear of the house is the bespoke kitchen which was created by a local company Pinnacle Pine, they have taken great care in maximising all of the space on offer whilst still ensuring it is in keeping with the age and traditions of the home. The ground floor is completed by a rear lobby and a utility/cloakroom

Like the ground floor, the first floor is steeped in character features, as you climb the stairs you can’t help but notice the wood panelling, feature beams and exposed floorboards. The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and bedrooms two and three are both doubles. A newly refurbished bathroom completes the accommodation.

Outside, the front garden is accessed from a gate and there is a pathway with an area of lawn leading to the front door.. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and is very easy to maintain. It offers a great deal or privacy from neighbours and you can access the double garage from here also. There is a driveway offeringoff road parking for up to four vehicles.

LOCATION There are plenty of facilities on offer to local residents. The village is served by a Costa Coffee and there are three award winning curry houses and an excellent Thai restaurant. Coughlans bakery is a recent addition to the village but is already a firm favourite with us! A Co-op and Tesco Local offers the opportunity to carry out a larger shop. The market town of East Grinstead is only 4 miles away and offers more extensive shopping facilities. The village is served by two public houses with the Star, which is just around the corner, offering a fantastic garden and excellent menu. Despite only opening a couple of years ago Wee Ones Nursery has a growing reputation and the village school is popular. Lingfield College is a highly regarded co-educational independent school.
