Or are you a creative person, artist or writer who loves space and seclusion to work but doesn't have time to be too far away from amenities?

Character and Period Charm

Jay Cottage is a historical cottage with the intrinsic character and charm of another period. The former stables to the neighbouring Manor House were converted in the 1960ies to form an unusual, loveable abode surrounded by gardens, a large back garden (500 m2 plus) with many mature trees, including rare ones, which were part of the former park of the Manor House. So also an ancient, protected Cork Oak by the front garden courtyard which stretches along the full length of the house. Both garden areas grant ample safe space for children to play, dogs to run around, barbecues and gatherings - or relaxing and sunbathing in utter privacy and tranquility without traffic noise.

Balcony

Of the three bedrooms, the upstairs bedroom has a balcony of 3m x 3m.

Versatile Garden House

The added feature of a large summer house (ca. 7m x 7m, insulated and has electrics) in the back garden opens many possibilities for its use. Currently used as an art studio, it could be used as a large office space or workshop, gym or Yoga studio or a place to keep a special collection.

Parking

Parking is ample, a rarity in the city. Two cars find space in the drive behind the safety of large gates and a further two could be parked in the front yard if need be.

Amenities

While secluded amongst greenery at the end of a cul de sac, Jay Cottage is only a few minute walk from the High Street and all its shops and a gym with pool, which avoids parking problems. Aldi is 3 minutes walk down the road, Sainsbury's and the East Grinstead train station only 5 minutes. There is a direct train to London-Victoria. A hospital and several doctors' surgeries and dentists are nearby.

Features and Possibilities

The Cottage features easy-maintenance, beautiful bamboo flooring throughout.

A new Victorian bathroom has has recently been fitted.

The large conservatory has potential for additional living room or a kitchen combined with dining space.

The current office space can be converted back into a garage, if necessary.

The property has potential to extend, subject to the required planning permissions. Plans for extensions have previously been drawn.

A Good Sign

Since its conversion Jay Cottage has had three owners only, the current one for over 25 years of comfortable life, granting enough space to run a business from the office in the converted garage with up to 4 people in front, and an artist's studio in the back.
