Oak Bank, Lindfield, RH16

Smallsgreen, 1 Oak Bank is a lovely and much loved 3-bedroom family home coming to the market for the first time in over 38 years. The house was designed by H. G. Turner in the 1950's and encapsulates his quality and style of residential architecture. Many of the original features have been retained including the cast iron guttering and downpipes, with some modern updates too such as Sussex style double glazed windows with wooden sills. Leading off the welcoming entrance hall is a delightful kitchen/breakfast room with utility area and ample built in storage and fitted appliances, a lovely formal dining room (where the original single garage was), a beautiful triple aspect sitting room with original handmade brick fireplace with coal effect gas fire and large windows looking out across the private garden. A downstairs cloakroom and a large secure storage cupboard complete the ground floor accommodation. The central staircase is a real feature of the house with a turned wooden banister leading to the first floor landing. There are three double bedrooms, a cloakroom and well appointed family bathroom. All the bedrooms have builtin storage and there is separate ample eaves storage. The property is located within walking distance of Lindfield village High Street and is approached via the private road of Oak Bank. There is parking on the private driveway and a single garage which was re-roofed in 2021. The private and charming garden, surrounded by evergreen hedges, is mainly laid to lawn with lovely rose and herbaceous borders and terraces.
