Welcome Home... - Welcome to Cedar House - a contemporary and generously proportioned detached bungalow, sitting on a 1/5 acre plot and located on the prestigious Deanland Road in the very heart of Balcombe, one of the most desirable villages in Mid Sussex with mainline rail services, a thriving community and beautiful open countryside.
Originally built in 1968 before being extended in 2006, the accommodation is spacious and well-arranged, extending to over 1700 sq ft of lateral living.
Upon entry you are welcomed by the most stunning of entrance halls, with a 10ft high vaulted glazed ceiling that floods the hallway with natural light and offers the most impressive of first impressions.
The 19ft x 18ft sitting room is capacious yet cosy room with contemporary log burner providing a warm focal point on a chilly winter's evening. Sliding doors open on the westerly decked terrace, great for 'inside-outside' living during the summer months. A side door connects the living room with the kitchen/diner giving the living space a fantastic flow.
The kitchen/diner itself extends to 24ft and is the perfect spot for a dinner party with friends. 'French' doors opening on to the garden. The kitchen itself enjoys white gloss units with wooden worktops, breakfast bar and a range of integrated appliances including oven, electric hob, dishwasher and washing machine. The bamboo flooring is attractive and durable.
There are four fantastic double bedrooms, great for a family. The master bedroom is a spacious double room with 11ft vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and skylight. There are fitted wardrobes, pretty outlook over the front garden and your own ensuite wet room, with non slip floor, underfloor heating and further vaulted ceiling.
The fourth bedroom enjoys a voluminous feel with vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors open on to a private westerly deck.
There is also a modern cloakroom.
Further attributes include thermostatic gas fired central heating with new boiler in 2022, upgraded electrics and double-glazed windows throughout.
Bungalows of this quality are so rarely available in such delightful village settings and, as such, early viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
Scope/Potential... - This home also offers plenty of development potential and many neighbouring homes have undertaken substantial extensions. By removing the roof there is scope to create a first floor and thus a substantial house. Any work is of course subject to planning permission.
Step Outside... - The rear garden is delightful, enjoying a westerly aspect meaning there is plenty of afternoon/evening sunshine. The decked terrace provides the perfect spot for some 'al-fresco' dining or a glass of something cold in the summer. There are plenty of established shrubs, plants, hedging and flowers and steps lead down to an expanse of lawn. There is plenty of privacy and gated side access.
The front garden has been beautifully landscaped with block-paved driveway and pathway leading to the front door. The pretty gardens are well kept and the home is well-screened by tall hedged borders at the front.
Location, Location, Location... - Cedar House is located on the prestigious Deanland Road in the heart of Balcombe's conservation area. Balcombe itself is one of the most sought-after villages in Mid Sussex with buyers attracted by the mainline rail services, great schools and beautiful open countryside.
