High Broom Lane, Crowborough, TN6

Full of character and charm with features including the original Butler’s bells, oak doors, leaded light windows and cast iron fireplaces the property has scope for some modernisation and is offered with no onward chain.

Presented well throughout with spacious and versatile living accommodation, an impressive oak door opens to a porch and in-turn to a lovely entrance hall with strip wood floor and doors leading to all the principal rooms plus a cloakroom. The drawing room enjoys a double aspect with two feature windows either side of a fireplace with ornate surround, lots of book shelving and has French doors opening to a charming garden room - presumably once an open loggia which has very pleasant outlooks.

There is a separate family room/snug and the kitchen/breakfast room is well fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units, north-facing pantry with slate shelf and a there is a side lobby with a utility room and additional cloakroom.
