Description
Bowmans is an attractive character house originating from the 1930's, with later additions, set in a fine secluded location between Crowborough and Lye Green. Our selling clients have continually improved the property over the last 24 years which is attractively presented and offers spacious family accommodation, complemented by the established gardens and grounds.
Highlights include the well-appointed kitchen/dining room, nicely fitted with a bespoke range of shaker-style cabinetry and finished with solid oak flooring and granite worktops. Appliances include an electric Aga, as well as a Neff oven and hob, and a Miele dishwasher, microwave and coffee maker. This is a generous size room which is centrally positioned within the house, benefitting from French doors out to the rear terracing and gardens, creating a wonderful area to entertain.
The generous sitting room divides into two zones; a more formal seating area around a stylish open fireplace, and a recessed TV area offering a cosy snug.
The principal bedroom suite is an impressive space too, with the flexibility of a secondary room off the bedroom, either as a nursery, dressing room or private study. The bedroom has fitted wardrobes and there is a stylish bathroom, complete with recessed separate shower and twin sinks. There are five further bedrooms arranged across the first and second floor, one of which is en suite, whilst the remainder are served by two well appointed shower rooms.
The gardens and grounds are a definite wow factor; a level lawn around the house is complemented by the extensive terracing, including a walled garden off the family room, which leads onto a decked area with a heated Breeze House. Beyond here, there is a children's garden featuring a Wendy house and tree house, as well as a tree swing to one of the prominent oaks.
The three bay open garage with ev charging point to the driveway is integral to a tractor store/workshop, with a vegetable garden behind together with a greenhouse. The tennis court is beyond this, overlooking wild flowers in the meadow and a larger field to the side.
