Semi-detached house for sale in Bracklyn Avenue, Edenvale, Dormans Park, East Grinstead RH19

Originally constructed in the late 19th century, this individual property was subsequently extended in the 1930’s and again in the 1970’s, creating a character home with contrasting contemporary living areas. Features include high ceilings typical of the era, stained glass window panels and open fireplaces. There are views over the gardens from many rooms. The house has been in the same family ownership for 30 years, during which time a self-contained one bedroom annexe was formed, with its own separate access, ideal for relatives or guests. Some improvements are now required, representing an opportunity to customise the property according to the buyer’s own preferences. Externally the house is approached by an impressive brick pillared entrance with wrought iron gate, leading to the driveway. The mature gardens offer a good deal of seclusion and a sanctuary from everyday life. There are many private areas, including a walled water feature, raised sun terrace, shaded lawn, steps and pathway to lower ‘secret garden’. There is also a garage, approached from the lane to the side of the house.

Location The origins of Dormans 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.
