Detached house for sale in Eden Vale, Dormans Park, East Grinstead RH19

The property was constructed for the present owner circa 1958 and an additional large reception room was added in the late 1960’s. The house is approached by a long, private driveway, which meanders through the natural landscape. The grounds extend to about 8.5 acres. Owned by the same family for over 60 years, the property would now benefit from a programme of improvement. This represents, therefore, an exceptional canvas for a buyer to create a unique, peaceful retreat in their own style and taste. There is ample space to extend, or possibly replace the current house, subject to planning consent. Purchasers are advised to consult with the local authority, Tandridge District Council, in respect of their personal requirements.

Location

The property occupies a commanding, elevated position at the end of a ‘no through’ road in Dormans Park. The origins of the park date back to the 1800s. It originally comprised of over 200 acres of farmland and woodland. Following the arrival of the railway, with London just 28 miles away, it became a peaceful environment in which to live. Today, it offers an interesting variety of houses, both old and new, in tranquil surroundings. Dormansland village is just over 1 mile away with Church, post office and village shop, whilst Lingfield is 2.5 miles, offering local shopping facilities, and the renowned Racecourse. For more comprehensive shops, including Waitrose, the old market town of East Grinstead is about 2.5 miles away. There is an excellent choice of independent schools in the area, including Lingfield College, Brambletye, Ardingly College, Worth and Cumnor House. For commuters, Dormans Station can be accessed via a footpath. For the international traveller, Gatwick airport is about 9 miles distant.
