About
Description Open houses dates below please read.
Occupying an appealing position on Crowborough Road in the sought-after village of Nutley, this four-bedroom detached home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property with enormous potential in a truly enviable semi-rural setting.
Backing directly onto woodland and with a footpath immediately behind the garden leading conveniently into the heart of the village, the house enjoys a wonderful balance of privacy, countryside atmosphere and day-to-day accessibility.
Just a short walk away lies the breathtaking Ashdown Forest, one of Sussex's most treasured landscapes, offering miles of open heathland, woodland trails and spectacular scenery that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
Whether for morning walks, family adventures, cycling or simply appreciating nature, the location is ideal for those seeking a lifestyle closely connected to the outdoors.
Although the property now requires modernisation throughout, it offers a fantastic foundation for a buyer looking to create a substantial family home tailored to their own taste and requirements.
The house already provides generous accommodation, but there is also clear scope, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, to extend to the side, rear and into the loft space, unlocking even greater long-term potential.
Externally, the property sits within established gardens to the front, side and rear, with the majority laid to lawn and framed by mature shrubs, trees and hedging that create a pleasant sense of privacy.
The front garden gives the house an attractive approach, while the side and rear spaces offer excellent outdoor potential for landscaping, entertaining or family use.
A driveway to the front provides off-road parking, while to the side sits a timber garage offering practical storage or workshop space.
There is also a brick outbuilding to the front of the property which, although in need of improvement, could offer exciting possibilities for future use, whether as a studio, home office or potentially integrated into the main house, subject to the appropriate approvals.
Entering through the front door, the accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall that immediately gives a sense of the generous proportions found throughout the property.
A cloakroom is conveniently positioned off the hallway, while the kitchen sits to the left-hand side.
Although the kitchen would now benefit from updating, the current units remain functional and could certainly serve a buyer well in the short term while future plans are considered.
There is also room for a breakfast table, making it a practical everyday family kitchen with scope to redesign into a more contemporary space if desired.
To the rear of the house, the spacious living room forms one of the key reception areas and enjoys lovely views over the rear garden and open countryside beyond.
A patio door opens directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to flood the room and providing an easy connection to outdoor living during the warmer months.
A fireplace creates a cosy focal point, ideal for colder evenings and adding warmth and character to the room.
Adjacent to the living room is a second reception room currently used as a family room and library.
This is an especially peaceful part of the house, with a lovely outlook over the rear garden and woodland beyond, making it a perfect place to relax, read, or simply enjoy the tranquillity of the setting while watching birds and wildlife in the garden.
Its versatility means it could equally work as a formal dining room, playroom, home office or additional sitting room depending on a buyer's needs.
Continuing along the corridor, the principal bedroom is located on the ground floor, offering generous proportions, built-in wardrobes and the added convenience of an en-suite shower room.
This arrangement provides flexibility for multi-generational living or for those seeking accessible bedroom accommodation on the lower level.
At the far end of the corridor is a useful utility room with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, adding practical convenience to the layout.
A particularly interesting feature is the additional internal door positioned within the corridor towards the front of the property, allowing the lower floor to be sectioned off if required.
This creates genuine potential for annexe-style accommodation, especially as this ground floor area could benefit from its own private entrance, making it ideal for extended family, guests or future flexible living arrangements.
Upstairs, there are three further double bedrooms, all benefiting from built-in wardrobes.
Two overlook the rear garden and surrounding greenery, while the front bedroom enjoys an outlook over the front garden.
The family bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath, wash hand basin and w.c., serving this level comfortably while also presenting scope for future updating.
The loft space adds another exciting dimension to the property's potential.
Accessed via a pull-down ladder from the front bedroom, the loft is substantial in size, partly boarded and offers excellent headroom, suggesting strong potential for conversion into further accommodation subject to the necessary consents.
This is a home with genuine warmth and character, offering buyers not only a wonderful location but also the opportunity to create something truly special.
With no onward chain, the sale presents a straightforward move, while the property itself will be sold under a best and final offers scenario following open house viewings over the next three weeks.
For those seeking a rewarding project, long-term family home or a property with scope in one of Nutley's most desirable positions, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
