Penrose is a charming, substantial property tucked away in a wooded setting between the popular centres of Crawley Down and East Grinstead, with excellent access to transport links and amenities. The detached property sits on a private road with off-street parking and a large garden, and offers all the benefits of semi-rural living with the connections of the south east at hand. The house was originally constructed in the 1930s with later additions in the 1970s, and offers bright and spacious accommodation throughout with the potential to extend or reconfigure to suit. The versatile floor plan offers up to seven bedrooms over both floors, providing accessible accommodation to grandparents, or an au pair, if desired. The generous reception rooms are ideal for big family gatherings, while the first-floor space over the garage presented additional room for development. A truly flexible home perfect for multi-generational living.
The property has been vastly improved having been subject to a complete and extensive modernisation and remodelling program by the current owners. The welcoming hallway provides an ideal receiving space and leads to an open plan kitchen/ breakfast room and separate utility, a sitting room, formal dining room, study and a ground floor bedroom with dressing room and an adjoining shower room. The principal bedroom on the first floor has its own staircase to access a large double room, en suite bath/shower room and walk-in wardrobe. The remaining bedrooms are situated separately and include a further en suite bedroom, four additional double bedrooms and a bathroom.
Outside
The house is set within attractive grounds which are
well enclosed by mature trees, making it feel very
private and secluded. The lawn is mostly level and
bordered by flowerbeds and shrubs, with a large
patio to the rear providing space for garden furniture
and two timber-framed stables with power. To the
front there is an additional parcel of lawn, a generous
driveway with private off-street parking and a
detached double garage with a garden store and firstfloor
studio.
Situation
The semi-rural residential hamlet of Furnace Wood is made up of leafy, private roads situated about 1.7 miles west of Felbridge, a large village on the eastern outskirts of East Grinstead. There are plentiful local amenities including pubs, convenience stores, primary schools and a range of shops and services in the locally area. Mainline railway stations at Haywards Heath, East Grinstead, Three Bridges and Gatwick provide services to London Bridge/Victoria. The M23 provides good access to London, Brighton, Gatwick and the wider motorway network. Open countryside is within easy reach including nearby Ashdown Forest, the largest public access green space in the south east, with many more footpaths in and around the village. The area is renowned for the standard of its schooling in both the private and state sectors, including Brambletye, Ardingly College and Worth School.
