Lewes RoadEast Grinstead, West Sussex, RH19 3UD

Medlars is a substantial and striking house of an unusual and interesting multi-level design, built by the architect Michael Twigg. In 2009 the architect Rodger Fincham was appointed to extend the property, with the interior design embracing the Modernist style of the house. The result is a striking and spacious five bedroom house, offering generously proportioned rooms extending in total to nearly 4,000 sq ft, as well as a heated, detached triple garage/gym.

Dating from the early 1960s, Medlars is typical of the Modernist style of architecture, with the materials used in its construction, such as glass, wood and steel accentuated as features throughout. The huge expanse of glass features large picture and porthole windows, optimising natural light and framing the views over the grounds and the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the north. There is fine dark wood joinery throughout the house, including a wide mahogany staircase.

The floor plan offers an excellent overview of the accommodation, and should be referred to for a comprehensive overview of the full extent and layout of each floor.
