*** Guide Price £1,000,0000 - £1,250,000 *** Dean Cottage stands like a beacon on the Greensand Ridge overlooking the weald with breathtaking 180 degree vistas. The property was individually built in the 1930's to this imposing design with the fenestration cleverly placed within the accommodation gaining the full benefit of the stunning views. The present owners have transformed the property during their ownership creating the beautiful home we find today, stylishly balancing a contemporary kitchen, bathroom and ensuite with the charm and character of the art deco period. To the front of the property is ample parking and turning area for numerous vehicles together with a double garage and gym. The rear garden has a raised decked terrace bathed in sun from the southern aspect with shaded areas to escape to, summer-house overlooking a pond, and an extensive infinity lawn, vegetable area with greenhouse, raised beds. The total plot extends to two thirds of an acre.
