5 bed detached house for sale

Bramble Hill, Balcombe RH17

Enjoying an elevated setting within the desirable village of Balcombe, St Agnes is a detached period property just 0.3 miles from the station, making it the ideal family home for the rail commuter. It is equally well connected to road links, with a direct link to the M23 four miles north. The early Edwardian home was built in 1908 and has been extended and modernised over the years without losing its period charm: Inside there are a number of original features, including tiled cast iron fireplaces, wall panelling and wooden floors, which are complemented by modern additions such as underfloor heating and CCTV. The interiors feel grand and elegant, with high ceilings and large windows, and the décor is a blend of modern and traditional elements which creates a welcoming feel. The generous proportions also lend the house well to family life, with a versatile and well planned layout that offers plenty of space for entertaining as well as family activities. Downstairs, the house is entered onto a spacious entrance hall with a storage, leading through the house to a lobby area at the rear. The three reception rooms are all spacious and there is a separate kitchen and utility room, the latter with space for laundry machines. There are two cloakrooms on the ground floor and, at basement level, a wine cellar with ample space for storage. Upstairs four of the five bedrooms have builtin wardrobes and the principal bedroom, with its bay
window, has an en suite glass and shower room. There is a further family bathroom. Planning permission has been granted (DM/24/2002) to convert one of the garages to an annexe, providing the option of further versatility to the accommodation.
