New Pond Hill, Cross In Hand, TN21

Standing centrally within beautiful established gardens, this individual detached Edwardian house dates back to 1920 and is full of character and charm with period features blending seamlessly with contemporary design.

Presented and styled beautifully with spacious and versatile living accommodation throughout, the entrance hall, with stained glass and oak flooring, creates a wonderful first impression of the house. There are two principal receptions rooms; the drawing room has a distinctive marble fireplace set within an alcove, panelled walls and a lovely bay window looking out to the gardens and the dining room, also with an impressive fireplace has an arched window to the front and a wide bay to the side. Both rooms have doors opening to the conservatory which enjoys lovely garden outlooks. The kitchen is beautifully fitted by Harvey Jones with walnut cabinetry, stone worksurfaces, a range of integrated appliances and a cleverly designed walk-in pantry. Part open to the breakfast area/family room which has doors to the utility room, cloakroom and the front and rear gardens, this is a superb space for everyday living.

On the first floor, the excellent principal bedroom mimics the proportions of the drawing room below - including the bay window and with extensive fitted wardrobes and luxurious private bathroom is a fabulous part of the house. The guest bedroom on this floor is also superb – enjoying a double aspect with doors opening to a balcony and contemporary en suite with large walk-in shower and the family bathroom is equally beautifully fitted. The second floor plays host to the remaining three bedrooms, all a good size and with access to extensive eaves storage.

Outside

Standing centrally within gardens that extend to just under an acre, a gravel driveway provides parking and turning for a number vehicles as well as access to the garage which is adjacent to a useful workshop and log store. The gardens, which predominantly face south, are mainly laid to lawn with established beds full of plants and shrubs offering tremendous shows of colour and banks of Rhododendrons and mature hedging give a great deal of seclusion. Several patios/terraces offer lovely areas in which to sit, dine and entertain and tall ancient trees provide a wonderful backdrop.

Situation

Occupying a privileged position along a highly regarded road, the property sits between Cross in Hand and Heathfield – an active market town with impressive range of everyday shops and amenities. Beautiful countryside surrounds with countless footpaths providing mile after mile of walks and rambles and the area is well served with schools for boys and girls of all ages.
