Vendor Comments
This house is an amazing warm home that cuddles you. Well insulated, good ceiling heights, south facing and a beautiful garden with trees to climb, veg patch and a kitchen where our children could sit and watch or help with the cooking and baking. The kids had their own playroom, Dad his cosy den for sport and a home office, mum another office/art room. A spare room with own bathroom suite for visitors and rooms for our children to grow into. With our morning walks to Micheal Hall school or the playground, 200 yards into the amazing Ashdown Forest, Tennis club, Royal Ashdown golf course. The location could not be better. It’s a bike ride to the east Grinstead railway station, with trains 55 minutes London, down and old railway track. Or in the other direction to Harfield, home of Winnie the Pooh. A walk to the amazing Tablehurst Biodynamic farm owned by the local community, or up to 15 places to buy great coffee and great local food. Not forgetting Emmerson college with great courses in art and care. The kitchen is a brilliant space for family, I loved having the children with me doing their homework as I cooked, with the sun coming in winter and summer. The drying room is great for those wet raincoats and boots that need to be ready for the next morning. The separate laundry room, because the house is so well insulated, also dry cloths easily over night after washing.
This, for us, is a family home and with it come the memories, a flexible house as the children have grown, a great place to host parties for all ages, from our treasure hunts around the grounds, sleeping out in tents in the garden to this weekend’s BBQ with dips in the plunge pool/natural pond and badminton on the lawn. And great neighbours!
