There is a spacious driveway in front of two double garages that are built into the hillside, underneath the multi-level garden. This continues around much of the property, providing plenty of off-road parking and access to the front entrance. As you cross the threshold you can begin to appreciate the size of the rooms that is rare in a bungalow including the impressive dual aspect living room. This has two pairs of French doors to the terrace, a brick chimney breast with a fireplace and a gas fire as well as direct access to the light and bright dining room.
The adjacent kitchen has been built to the highest standard and features attractive wood units with granite worktops housing top quality appliances, while the adjacent utility room has laundry facilities and a door to the garden. There is a cloakroom and three ensuite double bedrooms including the principal suite with a large dressing area, bespoke cupboards and bedroom furniture as well as a large office/fourth bedroom with bespoke shelving and cupboards.
The outside features a vast Indian sandstone terrace that not only surrounds the swimming pool but also spans the length of one wing of the property as well as providing a separate outdoor entertainment area. Steps lead to a higher level lawn with colourful plants and a summerhouse and from the pool-level patio you can wander through the canopied gateway to a ‘secret garden' or stroll around the perimeter revelling in the views across the neighbouring fields and the High Weald National Landscape while enjoying the local wildlife.
