The House...
PSPhomes are delighted to introduce ‘Wellgrove Cottage’ on the prestigious Stockcroft Road in the conservation area of sought-after Balcombe – a quintessential village with a thriving community, excellent school and mainline rail services to London, Brighton and Gatwick Airport.

This pretty detached character home is believed to date from 1937 and boasts the most stunning 150ft west facing garden that enjoys plenty of afternoon evening sunshine. Although now requiring certain cosmetic modernisation, the house boasts plenty of retained character and is offered for sale in clean, tidy order throughout. The current accommodation is light, airy and well-proportioned arranged around a central hallway. The sitting room enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden and a focal point fireplace, whilst the dining room overlooks the front and sits adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast room. The is also a ground floor cloakroom.

On the first floor is a spacious 17ft master bedroom, two further double bedrooms, single fourth bedroom and a shower room.

Further benefits include gas central heating, neutral décor and no onward chain.

Step Outside...
Wellgrove Cottage enjoys an enviable plot with the rear garden enjoying a westerly aspect and extending to approx 150ft. There is a detached garage/brick outbuilding that offers the potential for conversion into a home office or studio.

To the front, the house sits well back and behind a gated entrance with driveway parking for several cars.

Scope/Potential...
There is, in our opinion, vast scope for a sizeable extension to the side/rear. Any work is of course subject to the necessary planning consents. Many neighbouring homes have undertaken substantial extension.

The Location...
Stockcroft Road is arguably the premier residential road within the sought after village of Balcombe. Village facilities include numerous shops and stores, tea room, village pubs, 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.
