Dale Road, Forest Row, East Sussex, RH18

A most attractive detached country house which offers substantial and immaculately presented family accommodation, set in a convenient location just over half a mile from the centre of Forest Row.

Internally, the property extends to 3243 square feet and provides well-proportioned accommodation which flows beautifully. The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall with a fitted cupboard and Amtico flooring. To the right is an impressive double aspect drawing room which benefits from a fireplace, flanked by fitted shelving and cupboard, and French doors opening out to the lovely garden. There is a separate sitting room, also with fitted shelves and cupboards, and window overlooking the rear garden.

The fantastic kitchen/dining room is a particular feature of the property and includes a very well equipped modern kitchen, leading on to a stunning dining area with glazed roof and bi-fold doors opening out to the rear terrace and garden, creating the perfect space for entertaining. The kitchen includes extensive fitted cupboards with integrated appliances, a Falcon Range Cooker and a large central island with breakfast bar. Off the kitchen there is also a useful utility room with a door to the side and a family room overlooking the front.

The property also benefits from a ground floor bedroom, with a window to the front and a shower room, providing the flexibility for multi-generational living if required. From the entrance hall, a twisted staircase leads to the attractive first floor landing giving access to the family bathroom and four bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room. The remaining three bedrooms all have fitted wardrobes.

There are two further first floor bedrooms, accessed via a separate staircase from the ground floor, which both have en suite facilities and share a walk-in wardrobe. Again, the flexible layout provides huge potential for muti-generational living.

The property is situated on a private road on the southern side of Forest Row village with its eclectic range of local and specialist shops serving everyday needs, together with a health centre, vet, primary school, churches, pubs/restaurants and the popular nearby Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club and Ashdown Park Hotel. The village of Hartfield is also well-equipped for everyday needs including a village store, butcher, primary school, nursery school, doctors' surgery, church, two public houses and the famous 'Pooh Corner' tea rooms, shop and museum. A comprehensive range of facilities can be found in the larger towns of East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells as well as railway stations serving London.

The area is well known for its excellent choice of schools including Michael Hall (Forest Row), Brambletye and Sackville School (East Grinstead), Lingfield College, Worth School (Turners Hill), Cumnor House and Handcross Park (Haywards Heath), Tonbridge School, Schools at Somerhill in Tonbridge, Holmewood House Preparatory School (Langton Green), and Ardingly College. There are also grammar schools (girls and boys) in Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge.

There is a reasonable cost of £265 per annum to contribute to the maintenance of the private road.
