4 bed detached house for sale

Beacon Gardens, Crowborough TN6

Idyllically situated on a quiet and leafy residential road, this distinguished four-bedroom detached Arts and Crafts style property effortlessly blends timeless character with modern comfort. Steeped in history, the home was originally designed by architect Arthur Copsley-Wood and once served as the residence of a leading suffragette and political activist, adding a rich narrative to its already captivating charm.

Upon entering through the porch and into the generous hallway, the property’s heritage is immediately apparent in the beautiful period features which have been retained and showcased throughout - stained glass windows, servants’ bells, original fireplaces, iron door knockers, and distinctive skeilings.

Immediately to the left is the spacious formal dining room which is flooded with natural light from the large casement windows. It comfortably accommodates a sizeable dining table, making it perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. Adjacent is the well-proportioned living room which also benefits from large casement windows and a period fireplace acting as a focal point for the room, making it a truly inviting space.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully and sensitively extended, preserving the property’s period charm while ensuring modern convenience. It boasts bi-fold doors that span the entire length of the south wall, creating a seamless connection between the home and its glorious garden. This heart-of-the-home kitchen is both functional and stylish, complete with an Aga, built-in oven, large central island, a spacious larder and an additional space for relaxed dining. Completing the downstairs is the separate utility/boot room and WC.

Upstairs, the master bedroom benefits from an adjoining room, currently used as a ancillary living area, and a spacious en suite. This adjoining room offers plenty of versatility, lending itself to be a luxurious dressing room, nursery or a separate double bedroom. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor (one is a generous double and one is a single) all with beautiful views of the landscaped gardens and surrounding area. Three of the bedrooms benefit from lovely original built-in wardrobes. There is also a family bathroom in a traditional style and featuring bath, toilet, and sink.

Outside, the charm continues with the exquisite wraparound garden. Facing south and thoughtfully planted to offer year-round colour, with mature trees and hedging for privacy, it is a true haven for relaxation and outdoor living. The property also benefits from a bespoke studio built in keeping with the main house. This flexible outbuilding provides both a workshop and a home office, ideal for creative or professional pursuits. A private driveway offers off-road parking for at least two vehicles.

This property is perfectly situated, being just a 5 minute walk to Crowborough town centre with its vast array of shops, restaurants and cafes, as well as the station which offers direct links to London, and additionally with beautiful countryside walks on its doorstep, it presents a rare and desirable combination of convenience and countryside.
