Woodstock, Oldlands Avenue, Balcombe, W. Sussex, RH17 6LW

The House...
Believed to date from the 1700s, Woodstock is an interesting detached family home that boasts an abundance of character that is combined with contemporary styling to striking effect. There are some truly impressive spaces and the house sits on the sought-after Oldlands Avenue in the heart of Balcombe.

Upon entry you are welcomed by an entrance hall with stunning vaulted ceiling. The inviting sitting room is an interesting space, divided into two areas by exposed beams and flooded with light due to its triple aspect and the focal point log burner is perfect for those winter evenings. The kitchen has been recently refitted and is sleek & stylish whilst conveniently lying adjacent to the dining room. There is scope to create a more open plan kitchen/diner by removing the dividing wall.

The ground floor also boasts a study, cloakroom and utility room, which leads through to the attached garage. In our opinion, there is scope to convert the garage into additional living space, possibly as an L-shape kitchen, subject to any necessary consents.

A turned staircase rises to the galleried first floor landing. The master bedroom enjoys its own modern en-suite shower room, whilst the additional three bedrooms are doubles and served by the contemporary family bathroom. Each of the bedrooms have plenty of charm with characterful beams.

Further attributes include gas central heating, double glazing and tasteful neutral décor throughout.

Step Outside...
The rear garden is established and most private. There is a large paved terrace, attractive brick-built seating area, lawn, gravel and a substantial timber work shed. To the front is full width driveway providing plenty of off road parking and leading to the single attached garage.

The Location...
Oldlands Avenue is one of the premier residential roads within 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 providing links to London, Gatwick Airport and Brighton.

Haywards Heath and Crawley offer more extensive shopping and leisure facilities in addition to mainline railway stations (Haywards Heath to Victoria or London Bridge both approximately 47mins). By road, access to surrounding areas can be gained via the A23(M) which lies approximately 4.5 miles to the west at Handcross or north at Maidenbower.

Balcombe is surrounded by beautiful Sussex countryside. To the east are Balcombe lake & Ardingly Reservoir with their variety of footpaths, bridleways and angling facilities. The area is renowned for the standard of its schooling in both the private and state sectors with Balcombe Primary School being particularly reputable. A school bus runs through the village providing transport to Warden Park secondary school in the neighbouring village of Cuckfield. In the private sector Worth School is less than 4 miles distant in Turners Hill, whilst Ardingly College, Great Walstead and Burgess Hill School for Girls are all easily accessible.
