Seller Insight

"On driving down the rhododendron lined private approach lane with the deer grazing in the vast field and the stunning view, our spirits lifted.
Living at Applecroft feels like you are in the peaceful countryside yet it’s 5 minutes from East Grinstead by car and a half hour walk. Walking down the lane and across the field you get to the forest way walkway where the choice of walks is huge.

The house makes for incredibly comfortable flexible living. The 5 reception rooms and 5 bedrooms all with their own bathroom/shower rooms are ideal for entertaining and family visits. We added a large conservatory with underfloor heating which links the house perfectly and has seen many parties being able to seat 20 plus!
We have recently modernized and updated the downstairs shower room, upgraded the wiring and installed new septic and oil tanks. The main rooms all open onto the extended decking besides the pond.

We have maintained and painted the 2 storey playhouse which the grandchildren have enjoyed.
In March and April the lower garden is a carpet of primroses and bluebells. May sees peonies, azaleas and rhododendrons come to life followed by hydrangeas and many plants and shrubs.
The trees in the garden are magnificent."
