About this property

A beautifully modernised Victorian character house close to the centre of Burgess Hill, with five bedrooms and attractively landscaped mature gardens.

Stanmore House is situated on one of Burgess Hill’s most desirable settings: the road runs west from the station and the town centre, making access to the town’s plentiful shops and services very easy, though it is also wide and fantastically leafy, making it feel very green and peaceful. The setting is great for the commuter and is also ideal for those with children at Burgess Hill Girls school, which is also nearby. The house was built around 1901 making it late Victorian, and it possesses a variety of character features including loggias to the front and rear, picture rails, coving, original fireplaces and beautiful stained-glass windows. The house is presented to a high standard throughout and offers plenty of parking on a private driveway, as well as lovely well-established gardens.
The house was redecorated around 2018 and feels bright and modern internally, while incorporating a range of period features into the more contemporary décor scheme. The interiors are elegantly presented in neutral colours and there are natural materials throughout, like stone-tiled floors and wood detailing, which add further character. Typical of the era, the ceilings are high and the windows large, enhancing the feeling of light and space. The accommodation is extremely spacious, with a flowing layout over four floors affording plenty of space for families. The cellars on the lower ground floor provide storage space, and there are a number of useful cupboards on the upper floors.
The reception hall is accessed via a stunning stained glass entrance, and runs from front to back where there is access to the rear garden. There are two very generous reception rooms on the ground floor, plus an extremely spacious open plan kitchen and dining room, which is fitted with bespoke cabinetry and an AGA, and benefits from an adjoining laundry room and WC. The first floor has three very large double bedrooms and a family bathroom, while there are a further two double bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor.

Outside
The house in 0.578 acres is set back from the road behind a wonderfully green front garden, partially screened from view behind a line of mature trees. The driveway is ‘in and out’ style around a horseshoe of hedging, and there is additional parking in front of a detached single garage. The rear garden is fantastically private, with established tall trees of different varieties around the boundary making it feel very secluded – there are no overlooking properties. The garden is mostly lawned with deep, well stocked borders and a wide variety of shrubs and bedding plants providing colour. Adjoining the house there is a large paved patio which has space for garden furniture.
