Full description

Set amidst tranquil woodland, this charming 3-bedroom semi-detached cottage is available to the market for the first time in nearly 20 years.

With a history linked to the nearby Ditton Place it's chocked full of character and we think Grasslands Cottages is the epitome of county living.

As you meander down the quiet lane that leads to this picturesque cottage the surroundings really take you in, and on arrival the country garden is a delight, bursting with colourful blooms, lush greenery and a vegetable garden to keep you in good supply.

Step inside through the proch and hallway and you'll be greeted by a cosy ambience that immediately feels like home. The lovingly maintained interior has a blend of traditional charm and modern comforts, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that is perfect for both relaxing evenings by the fire and lively gatherings with loved ones.

The spacious and bright living room has a lovely reclaimed, period fireplace and is a peaceful space to spend your time. Through the well proportioned dining room and past the solid wood conservatory (which pulls in natural light from the garden) is the well-appointed bespoke kitchen. WIth granite work surfaces, ample storage and a free standing range cooker. Last but by no means least on the ground floor is a useful shower room.

On the lower ground floor is a very handy cellar, great for storage and housing the boiler, with plenty of space and plumbing for appliances.

Upstairs, three well sized bedrooms offer a peaceful retreat at the end of a long day. The master bedroom with its cosy nook is a perfect place to unwind and recharge, while the remaining bedrooms provide versatility for guests, a home office, or a cosy reading space.

With Balcombe station less than 10 minutesdrive away, commuting to the city is a breeze, offering the perfect balance between peaceful countryside living and convenient urban access. Whether you're looking for a weekend retreat, a family home, or a tranquil oasis to escape the hustle and bustle of every-day life, this enchanting cottage is sure to steal your heart and become your own slice of country paradise.
