A substantial and beautifully presented 6 bedroom detached family house introduced to the market chain free and offering a great deal of flexibility. Advantages include many characterful features, far reaching views, numerous reception rooms, self contained apartment and off road parking located to the side of the property.

The Old House is a substantial detached house originally a cottage dating back to the 1770s and is a stunning example of both Georgian and Victorian architecture, with the latter section added during the Victorian era. This spacious four bedroom property offers a wealth of character, featuring two fireplaces and high ceilings that create a bright, airy atmosphere throughout. 

The addition of Cleeve Lodge, a flexible two-bedroom apartment, further enhances the property's appeal, providing an ideal space for multi-generational living.

Conveniently located in the centre of Crowborough, the property offers excellent access to local schools, golf courses, and both bus and train routes.

Having been meticulously cared for by the current owners for over twenty-five years, the property is now brought to market with no forward chain. It is rare for a property with this level of character and charm to become available so if you wish to own a piece of Crowborough's history, we encourage you to arrange a viewing at your earliest convenience.
