The House... - Are you a lover of period property and seeking a quintessential village lifestyle? If so, Elmers on the peaceful Deanland Road in brilliant Balcombe could be the home for you. The village enjoys a thriving family-orientated community, excellent schooling and mainline rail services into London in under an hour and is surrounded by roaming Sussex countryside - what's not to love! There is even granted planning permission for a large rear extension, giving a buyer the opportunity to create a rather special home indeed.

The red brick, bay fronted elevation is a timeless façade and offers so much kerb appeal, setting the tone for what lies inside - a wealth of retained period character that we all love including bay window, cast iron fireplaces, stripped floorboards, panelled doors and high ceiling. There are also sympathetic sash style double glazed windows being installed in September 2022.

As it stands, the through sitting/dining room is the heart of this home. The sitting room is a traditional space with bay window and wood burning stove - perfect to cosy up on those chilly winter evenings!

The kitchen/breakfast room is spacious, extending to over 19ft with a breakfast bar & 'Rangemaster 110' . Beyond the kitchen is the conservatory which enjoys a most pleasant outlook over the rear garden. There is also a ground floor cloakroom.

The first floor is home to three of the four bedrooms. The principal bedroom extends across the entire front of the house and the cast iron fireplace is a nod to age of this home. The second and third bedrooms are both doubles and each is served by the most beautiful of bathrooms, which was refitted in 2020 with a sympathetic period style suite, separate bath and shower and chic panelling.

The loft space was converted in 2022 to create a fourth bedroom, which enjoys fitted wardrobes, window seat with storage and built in single beds. The exposed brickwork provides character and the room is bathed in natural light via the velux windows.

Step Outside... - Simply put, the garden is a delight extending to approximately 100ft garden. The large lawn is bathed in afternoon sun with a favoured westerly facing and is the perfect spot for children to play. There are well established beds and a patio area, ideal for 'al-fresco' dining in the summer months. To the front & side is a block paved driveway affording off road parking for several vehicles.

There is also a useful brick built outbuilding that has been converted into a versatile and highly useful studio/office space with insulation, oak flooring, light fixtures, lavatory and sink - perfect for anyone working from home!

Scope/Potential... - Excitingly, our clients have recently obtained planning permission for a large rear/side extension (REF: DM/22/2056 ). This would create a truly stunning open plan kitchen/dining/family room with doors opening on to the garden. The existing dining room would become a shower room and utility, with the sitting room retained to the front. Full plans available upon request.

The Location... - Deanland Road is a most prestigious residential road located in the heart of the sought-after village of Balcombe. Village facilities include numerous shops and stores, tea room, village pub, social club, church, sports clubs, primary school and the mainline train station.
