West Hill, East Grinstead

DESCRIPTION We have fallen in love with this wonderful character home which sits on a great plot within a central location in East Grinstead. We believe that there are many features for a new buyer to be excited about; from the stripped wood doors and floors to the outdoor studio / home office which has become so important in more recent times.

The flow of the ground floor works really well, the entrance hall is the perfect spot for muddy boots and jackets. The sitting room is located to the front and as soon as you walk into the room your eyes are drawn towards the feature wood burner and stripped wood floor. When the fire is roaring, it is the perfect room to relax in. The dining room and kitchen work really well together, with the sash windows providing that character touch. There is ample space for a dining table which is perfectly placed for a view over the garden. In the kitchen, you’ll find plenty of work surface space and storage, an eye level oven and grill, 5 ring gas hob and space and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. The kitchen also benefits from a large pantry cupboard. There is a view of the garden and a door leading onto the decking outside.

On the first floor you’ll find two double bedrooms both of which have feature fireplaces. There is also the family bathroom which we love; the roll top bath sits in-front of the window and has an incredible view of the garden and Brooklands Park. The bathroom also has its own separate shower, heated towel rail, sink and WC.

There is a loft room which is fully carpeted and already has a velux window in place. Subject to planning permission and some work to the first floor we feel that this could become an extra bedroom and bathroom.

The garden works really well and it’s particularly private, set over 3 tiers; all of which are useable and are easily accessible. Straight off of the house is a large decking area with space for your outdoor furniture, steps then lead down to the middle level which is where the outdoor studio is located. The garden is completed with an area of lawn and space for a shed. A rear gate leads out onto Brooklands Park.

To the side of the house is pathway which is the perfect spot for bins and storing logs. To the front is off road parking for two cars.
