Set within the heart of highly sought-after Forest Row village, this exceptional Victorian house offers refined living with beautifully preserved period detail, complemented by modern design and exciting future potential. The home showcases a wealth of original features, including open fireplaces, wooden floors and classic Victorian proportions, all presented in immaculate condition. The ground floor offers two bright and elegant reception rooms, ideal for entertaining or relaxed everyday living, both with open fireplaces - the living room fireplace is in active use - and a large understairs cupboard in dining room. To the rear is the **stylish **fully-fitted kitchen overlooking the garden, which flows into a light-filled conservatory, providing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor space. Driveway parking adds to the home’s practicality, plus there is an electric vehicle charging point at the front. The upper floors boast two spacious double bedrooms flooded with light, with a wonderfully graceful simplicity and elegance. The luxurious first-floor bathroom is stunning and creates a calm and relaxing retreat, perfect after a busy day. The beautiful cottage garden offers privacy, maturity and a serene backdrop rarely found so close to the village centre, with an abundance of flower-filled borders, paved terraces, a brick-paved central path, all leading to a charming summerhouse at the end. There is excellent scope to extend and reimagine the interior at the rear of the property into a luxury statement open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room, subject to planning – a transformation that would certainly elevate this superb home into one of Forest Row’s finest period residences.
