Link-detached house for sale in Uckfield Road, Crowborough, East Sussex TN6

Nestling in one and a quarter acres of stunning grounds surrounded by Ashdown Forest in an anob, this delightful linked Edwardian property has been lovingly restored by the current owners combining period features with stylish modernity. It is approached down a long drive, flanked by trees and shrubs discreetly hiding the house from the road which leads to a large gravel and tarmac parking area. A short distance from the house, and approached via a separate driveway, are the property's two garages.

Handmade twin Italian oak doors open into the spacious reception hall with its painted panelled walls, restored original herringbone parquet flooring that flows through much of the house and revamped Victorian door hinges and restored cast iron Duchess radiators that are a feature throughout the property. The elegant dual aspect sitting room includes a stone fireplace and open fire, a corniced ceiling with inset lighting and a leaded light bay window. The contemporary kitchen includes attractive navy shaker style units with quartz worktops housing a variety of luxury appliances and a large central island/breakfast bar, Amtico flooring that continues into the adjacent utility room and a bay window and oak window seat. The large dining area is adjacent to bi-fold doors that open into the impressive garden room.

Upstairs there is a magnificent contemporary family shower room with underfloor heating and a quirky bathroom as well as three double bedrooms with original cast iron radiators and wonderful views. One of the bedrooms has cast iron fireplace while the master includes fitted cupboards and eaves storage.

There is a terrace and sweeping lawns, impressive mature trees and shrubs plus gates with direct access to Ashdown Forest. Outbuildings include a greenhouse, a pitched roof brick built building that could be converted, a workshop/wood store and the superb office/studio/apartment. This incorporates a large, dual aspect open plan kitchen/living room/bedroom with bi-fold doors to a private decked terrace and a modern wet room.

What the Owner says:
We bought this house about four years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed renovating. However we feel it is time to downsize. We love the surroundings, watching the wildlife and being able to wander into the forest from the garden. We feel we are ‘living in the forest' but we have the historic Crow and Gate inn and restaurant within walking distance and it is easy to get to Crowborough, while Uckfield and Royal Tunbridge Wells are not far away. Crowborough includes multiple supermarkets including a Waitrose, independent shops, a station, schools, a community cinema and a variety of pubs and eateries as well as recreation grounds and annual events including a Guy Fawkes Night celebration, carnival and summer and Christmas fairs.
