The Property
Fairlight was built in approximately 1901 and has been tastefully maintained and improved by the current owners. Much of its original character is still in situ including high ceilings, picture rails, feature fireplaces and original wood flooring. On entering, the grand entrance hallway welcomes you into the property leading through the house with a wide elegant staircase rising to the first floor. The first reception room is the formal dining room which has high ceilings, original flooring, picture rails and a feature fireplace. The sitting room is of similar size and also has a feature fireplace. Both the rooms have large full height bay windows. The kitchen/breakfast room has a fine range of wooden wall/base units with work surfaces over. The room has ample space for appliances, a large range style cooker with further storage on offer in the utility room. The study/home office leads through to the timber framed conservatory with beautiful views over the gardens. Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom/boiler room, larder and separate wc. The stairs rise to the first floor galleried landing which provides access to all bedrooms, bathroom and jack & jill shower room. All bedrooms have high ceilings and original fireplaces with the two master bedrooms being located to the front of the property. Furthermore, the masters have large bay windows with one of the bedrooms having a doorway leading into the jack & jill en-suite shower room. The en-suite has a pedestal hand wash basin and large shower cubicle. The remaining two bedrooms both have dual aspect windows. A bathroom is located to the other end of the landing which has a large corner bath and hand wash basin. A separate WC is also located to the first floor. A partly boarded loft runs the length of the house.
Outside
To the front of Fairlight is an attractive lawned garden with a screen of trees and hedging to the front border. There is a tarmaced parking area with space for several cars, which leads down the side of the property to the rear garden. Directly outside of the conservatory is a terraced area and pathway around the other side of the property. There are three brick outhouses including coal storage, which make useful garden outbuildings. The main proportion on the garden is laid to lawn with a variety of hedging, trees and shrubs to the borders. A timber pergola makes a perfect alfresco dining area and is covered with roses and grape vines in the summer months. To the rear of the back garden is a range of vegetable beds and fruit trees, including mulberry and greengage. The garden is screened off from the formal garden by hedging. A summer house sits in the corner of the garden which has both power and light. In addition, there is a feature well within the garden.
