Bramble Hill House, Bramble Hill, Balcombe, W. Sussex, RH17 6HR

Welcome Home...
Welcome to Bramble Hill House – a beautiful detached home that is believed to date from the Edwardian era and is gorgeous example of architecture from this period.

The home is sure to appeal to any lover of Victorian/Edwardian property and retains a wealth of retained character including high ceilings, bay and sash windows, deep skirtings, and ornate fireplaces.

Upon entry you’re welcomed by a central entrance hall with reception room either side offering a great level of versatility. The main sitting room is an inviting space with beautiful fireplace providing a natural focal point. Just off this room is the generous study that is ideal for those who work from home. This room would also make a great teenagers den or occasional ground floor bedroom.

The second sitting room works well as a family room or formal dining room and also enjoys a lovely bay windows.

Across the rear you have a kitchen/diner that could benefit from some cosmetic modernisation but is a good space with plenty of storage and prep space. Appliances include a five-ring gas hob, oven, microwave, washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is also plenty of space for a dining table making this a social space for the family.

The ground floor also has the essential downstairs loo.

On the first floor you have three good size double bedrooms, nursery/study and the family bathroom with separate WC.

Further benefits include gas fired central heating, recent redecoration and the home is for sale with no onward chain.

Detached period homes such as this rarely come to the market in Balcombe so we recommend an early viewing to avoid disappointment.

Step Outside...
To the rear you have pretty, established but low maintenance garden which is a wedged shape. The paved terrace is perfect for some ‘al-fresco’ dining and steps lead down to a small expanse of lawn.

To the front the house sits neatly behind a brick wall with gated entrance. There is driveway parking for a couple of cars that leads to the attached single garage.
