A good move for families in Sussex
If you’re looking for the perfect family home, your school of choice will often dictate where you live. But Millwood Designer Homes’ stunning Sussex farmhouse-style property, Furnace House, in Blackboys gives you both a beautiful location and an excellent choice of schools in the area.
School word-of-mouth is making the village very popular and Blackboys is favoured by a number of families as the ideal place to live. With peaceful country roads and a relaxed village atmosphere, it offers a safe community in which to raise a family.
Furnace House is just 19 miles from Brambletye School in East Grinstead, a leading day and boarding prep school for children aged three to thirteen. And at nearby Forest Row, 15 miles away, Michael Hall, the largest Steiner school in the UK, is set on around 60 acres of parkland adjoining the Ashdown Forest and is home to over 600 day and boarding pupils, offering the unique Steiner education from birth to 19.
But it is not just the location that makes Furnace House ideal for families. With five bedrooms, detached triple garage, a spacious layout offering practical living for the modern-day family and set in a two-acre plot surrounded by beautiful countryside, it could be the family home you have been searching for.
Says Sales Manager Richard Elliott: “We have designed this home with families in mind. Its traditional Sussex farmhouse design gives the home character and charm, something which is often lacking from a new-build design. From the minute you walk through the door, the fresh, modern style of the home ensures a warm and comforting atmosphere.”
He continues, “With a spacious layout, you need never feel you are on top of each other, yet with a large open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility room and cloakroom, family room, living room and dining room, you can still benefit from quality family time together no matter what time of day. But there is also a separate study, too, in case you need to work from home or just want some peace and quiet.
“Upstairs there are five generous bedrooms – three en suite – and a large family bathroom. The master bedroom features fitted wardrobes with both drawers and hanging space, as well as a very impressive en-suite bathroom, with both bath and walk-in shower, so it is the perfect haven for parents once the children have been put to bed.”
There is plenty of space outside, too, as Richard explains: “Set in a two-acre plot, the whole family can enjoy being outside together. There is plenty of room to play and run around, or entertain friends and family. But with such stunning views of the surrounding countryside, you may just want to sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery. As you can see, Furnace House offers everything your family could ever need. It is also ready for immediate occupation and comes complete with carpets and light fittings, so make sure to visit the home soon before another family does!”
Furnace House is open on Saturdays and Sundays between 11am and 3pm. Priced at £1.5 million. For more information, visit: mdh.uk.com
