Property Description
What the sellers say: "It's been an absolute privilege to live at Coombe Cross for the past 8 years, whilst lovingly making it into the perfect family home. The extensive gardens hold a year-round beauty and are a haven for wildlife. Stunning wisteria in the spring, the majestic fountain frozen in winter. Our spacious patio, pool, BBQ and bar have played host to many family parties, whilst dinners and Christmas celebrations have been held in our lovely dining room. We've especially enjoyed cosy evenings by the roaring fire, with candles lit and a drink in hand. This house offers so much space and privacy, and yet is only a mile from the historic high street where many community events are held. Also close by are Standen House and Gardens and the famous Bluebell Railway. Even to this day, we still love the sound of the steam trains passing by on their way to Sheffield Park. Gatwick Airport is just 20 minutes away, but who needs to go on holiday when you live at Coombe Cross!" This stunning country house is beautifully positioned with secure gates, an expansive drive and wonderful views over the countryside. Available chain free for a smooth, quick purchase. An open porch leads through stained-glass doors to a delightful reception hall with panelling and a feature staircase with a stained-glass window. A triple-aspect formal lounge, with original fireplace and feature windows on either side, offers access to the rear patio and views over the formal gardens. A formal dining room overlooks the front of the property and there is a spacious downstairs W.C. A generous open-plan kitchen and breakfast room provide the perfect space for modern family life and entertaining, with a large island, wine fridge, feature roof lantern and integrated appliances. Bifold doors extend the full width of the room onto a patio, overlooking the swimming pool, garden bar, gym and pool house. A utility room off the kitchen conveniently leads directly outside; ideal for cleaning muddy boots after enjoying a country walk with the dog! The original wood-panelled staircase, with a feature stained-glass window, leads to the first floor. A dual-aspect principal suite enjoys stunning westerly views over the countryside, and at the end of the hallway, there is another double bedroom and a luxurious family bathroom, complete with a standalone bath and shower.
