St Agnes, Bramble Hill, West Sussex, RH17 6HR

Enjoying an elevated setting within the desirable village of Balcombe, St Agnes is a detached period property just 0.5 miles from the station, making it the ideal family home for the rail commuter.

It is equally well connected to road links, with a direct link to the M23 four miles north.

This early Edwardian home was built in 1908 and has been extended and modernised over the years without losing its period charm.

Inside there are a number of original features, including tiled cast iron fireplaces, wall panelling and wooden floors, which are complemented by modern additions such as underfloor heating and CCTV.

The interiors feel grand and elegant, with high ceilings and large windows, and the décor is a blend of modern and traditional which creates a welcoming feel.

The generous proportions also lend the house well to family life, with a versatile and well-planned layout that offers plenty of space for entertaining as well as family activities.

Downstairs, the house is entered into a spacious entrance hall with storage, leading through the house to a lobby area at the rear.

The three reception rooms are all spacious and there is a stunning, newly installed bespoke kitchen and a utility room, the latter with space for laundry machines.

There are two cloakrooms on the ground floor and, at basement level, a wine cellar with ample space for storage.

Upstairs four of the five bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and the principal bedroom, with its bay window, has an elegant ensuite shower room and there is a further family bathroom.

Planning permission has been granted (DM/24/2002) to convert one of the garages into an annexe, providing the option of further versatility to the accommodation.

St Agnes is set on a quiet, residential road, with a gated driveway opening onto a paved parking area and access to a detached garage.

Most of the outside space is to the front, where there is a large lawned garden, enclosed by hedges and mature trees.

There is separate access from London Road to the bottom of the garden and an additional garage (with full planning permission).
