About this property
Old Felbridge House is a
substantial detached property,
believed to date from around
1768 with nineteenth century
additions. The property offers
light, well-presented
accommodation arranged over
two floors, with neutral décor and
pretty landscaped gardens.
The entrance hall sets the scene,
with a tiled floor, feature fireplace
with a lovely oak mantel, and
spacious coats and shoe
cupboard. There is a door to the
sitting room, and double doors
opening to the inner hallway,
leading in turn to the dining room.
Situated in the oldest portion of
the house, the dining room
showcases some lovely period
features including timber beams,
lattice windows, the old front door
and bell and an impressive
sixteenth century inglenook
fireplace. The original staircase,
has been converted to a drinks
cupboard. The dining room gives
access to the
kitchen/breakfast/family room, a
wonderful open plan space which
is formed from the later extension
and is particularly suited to
modern family life.
The kitchen is well-equipped with
a good range of wall hung and
under-counter units,
complemented by quartz
worktops and integrated
appliances including a SMEG
double oven, Hotpoint five burner
gas stove with extractor over,
dishwasher, tall fridge and a
further fridge/freezer, and is
served by an equally well-
equipped utility/preparation room
with plenty of storage, built-in
freezers, and access to both the
rear garden and the garage.
The kitchen opens to the
breakfast/family dining area,
which has a seated bay window
overlooking the front and in turn
opens to the family room. From
here, a door leads back to the
dining room and double doors
lead through to the reading room
and sitting room, with fireplace,
creating wonderful flow and
allowing these rooms to be
opened up when entertaining.
The reading room and sitting
room share a large window and
bay window, offering plenty of
space to sit and enjoy the outlook
over the front garden.
From the inner hall and lying to
the rear of the house are the
library/cinema room, games
room, conservatory and gym,
which also has plumbing for
laundry appliances and a range of
wall-hung and under-counter
units. Adjoining the gym and
leading back to the entrance hall
is a short corridor giving access to
a storeroom, the boiler room, the
larder and the cloakroom.
On the first floor, the principal
suite comprises a bedroom,
dressing room with fitted
wardrobes (currently also used as
a study), and an en suite
bathroom.
There are five further bedrooms,
all with en suite bath/shower
rooms.
Please refer to the floorplans for a
comprehensive overview of the
full layout of the accommodation.
Outside
Old Felbridge House is
approached from The Feld via a
short drive offering off-street
parking ahead of the house;
further parking is provided ahead
of the attached garage.
The grounds extend in all to about
0.4 of an acre, and are mainly
enclosed by beech hedging to the
front and coniferous hedging to
the side and rear; a spectacular
tall double wall running along the
north eastern boundary screens
the property from London Road.
This wall is set with a gate, which
once gave villagers access to the
well which still sits within the
grounds of Old Felbridge House.
The house is approached via a
red brick pathway leading to the
open porch, with mature jasmine
and wisteria planted. The
gardens have been beautifully
landscaped into distinct sections;
to the front are beds and an
ornamental waterfall/pond
system, with mature trees
including an Acer and Redwood,
with a timber tool shed for
storage. To the side, ahead of the
conservatory, is a lawn and patio
with space for table and chairs;
this opens to the rear garden,
which is mainly laid to lawn, and
has vegetable beds bordered by
pathways.
