South Lodge, Wilderwick Road, Dormansland, RH19 3NR

Robert Leech are excited to market this stunning Five-Bedroom Lodge with Character, Annexe Potential, and Extensive Gardens, all on offer with No Onward Chain.

This captivating five-bedroom detached Lodge seamlessly blends historic charm with modern living, dating back to the late 1800s with later substantial additions.

Brimming with character, the property boasts vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and beautifully proportioned living spaces throughout.

A covered porch with a solid hardwood front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, complete with elegant hardwood flooring.

Off the hall, a versatile ground-floor room with a large bay window is currently used as a bedroom, but would equally serve as a reception room or home office.

A striking spiral staircase provides access to both upper and lower levels, enhancing the home’s sense of grandeur.

Upstairs, the open landing leads to a generous double bedroom and a family bathroom featuring a separate bath, double shower, and contemporary sanitary fittings.

There is also a mezzanine bedroom overlooking the main living area, offering garden views and additional flexible space.

The lower ground floor hosts the dining room and a modern kitchen, complete with a breakfast bar, butler sink, and pantry, with side access to the rear terrace.

The main reception room is a showpiece, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and a unique glass viewing platform over an original well.

Sliding doors connect this space to a large double-bay conservatory, partly used as an office, with doors opening directly onto the terrace, ideal for entertaining.

A separate wing currently offers annexe potential, comprising two bedrooms with French doors opening onto the garden, a shower room, and cloakroom.

Above this extension, there is an additional spacious bedroom.

Outside, the property sits behind fine wrought iron gates on stone pillars, opening to a courtyard providing ample parking for several vehicles.

Beyond the house, the rear gardens extend to nearly an acre and are predominantly lawned, featuring a large stone terrace, a sheltered flagstone seating and dining area, a lower terrace and a feature pond.

There is also lapsed planning permission for a two storey barn, garaging and two office space and shower/kitchen facility which could be re-applied for.

The property enjoys a highly desirable setting on Sandhawes Hill in Dormansland, just a short distance from East Grinstead town centre.

The town offers a charming mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, and essential services, all set within picturesque Sussex streets.

The area is well served by excellent schools, leisure facilities, and countryside pursuits, with the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty nearby providing miles of walking, cycling, and riding routes.

For commuters, East Grinstead railway station offers regular services to London Victoria and London Bridge in around an hour, while Gatwick Airport is approximately 10 miles away.

The property is perfectly placed for combining peaceful, rural living with easy access to local amenities, transport links, and the vibrant lifestyle of the town.

This property offers a rare combination of historic elegance, flexible accommodation, and beautifully landscaped grounds, creating a truly remarkable family home with annexe potential.
