5 bedroom detached house for sale

Gamons is an attractive country house surrounded by beautiful gardens and grounds. Gamons is believed to date from 1947 and is built in the Sussex vernacular style with mellow brick and part tile hung roof. Stepping in through the wooden panelled entrance door, you are greeted by the charming entrance hall.

The accommodation extends to over 3,800 sq ft arranged over three floors and offers a great balance between formal and informal living. The main reception rooms are accessed off the reception hall and comprise a double-aspect dining room with doors leading out to the rear terrace, a very impressive double-height drawing room with a full-height window complete with a minstrels gallery, which is accessed via the first floor.

There is also a study/snug room. The rooms have many interesting period features, including exposed beams throughout, large fireplaces, and oak parquet flooring. The bespoke kitchen/breakfast room is well equipped with a central work island, Neff-fitted appliances and a gas AGA. Also on the ground floor is the utility and downstairs WC, and access to the lower ground floor plant room.

The first and second floors have excellent bedroom accommodation with a generous principal bedroom and en suite bathroom. The bedroom enjoys glorious views over the gardens and grounds. There are four further bedrooms, all of a consistently good size and two family bathrooms. There is also a bedroom currently adapted as a large walk-in wardrobe.

Gamons is approached via a gate that is flanked by hedges and trees and a gravel drive that leads to the large parking area by the main house and the triple garage building, with a media room and bathroom above.

Sitting within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the gardens and grounds are an important feature of Gamons and form the most delightful and tranquil setting, complementing the house extremely well.

Gamons enjoys a stunning, well-maintained garden with many established specimen trees, shrub and flower beds, and an orchard. The gardens encircle the property and include a swimming pool, pool house, and tennis court. There is also a paved terrace at the rear of the property, enjoying beautiful views over the gardens and providing an excellent setting for al fresco dining. In all, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 3.08 acres.
