Sandy Lane, East Grinstead, West Sussex (ID: 3786508)

Positioned on a sought-after residential road just a short stroll from the town centre, this unique three-bedroom detached bungalow offers the perfect blend of period character and modern comfort.

Originally built as the gate lodge to the historic Stoneleigh estate, the property has been thoughtfully extended over time to create a spacious and welcoming home with real personality. Set behind an electric sliding gate, the property opens onto a gravel driveway with ample parking, a two-bay carport, and an attached workshop/store. A side courtyard and additional storeroom offer further flexibility and practicality. Inside, the home begins with a bright utility room featuring a tiled floor, leading into a well-appointed kitchen and breakfast room. Fitted with woodblock work surfaces and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, oven, and ceramic hob, the kitchen also features a peninsula unit and a charming dining space with a fireplace housing a wood-burning stove.

The original front door, carefully preserved, adds to the lodge’s rich character. At the rear of the property lies a spacious double reception room, divided by a wide opening to create two distinct living areas. A feature fireplace and French doors to the garden make this an ideal space for both entertaining and everyday family life. The principal bedroom is a serene retreat, complete with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom featuring a striking roll-top cast iron bath. Two further bedrooms provide versatile accommodation and are served by a stylish family shower room. The rear garden is a true highlight, offering a peaceful and private haven with paved seating areas, established borders, and a generous lawn. Steps lead to a raised section with lovely views, a gravelled seating area, garden shed, and log store. Enclosed by mature hedging and fencing, the garden is secure, private, and perfect for families or keen gardeners alike.

This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history, thoughtfully updated to suit modern living. With charm, character, generous outdoor space, and a location that combines convenience with tranquillity, this beautifully presented home is not to be missed. Early viewing is highly recommended.
