Elegant family home of great character, excellently proportioned, offering scope to update and enjoying views to the North Downs.
Colburn House is an elegant detached family home, believed to date from c. 1880 and formerly the Vicarage, situated in the heart of Dormansland village within the Metropolitan Greenbelt and approximately 1.8 miles from Lingfield. Both Dormansland and Lingfield provide a range of amenities with Lingfield benefitting from a mainline station with services into London. Also nearby is East Grinstead and Edenbridge for a wider variety of more comprehensive shops and mainline train services.

The flexible living accommodation is arranged over three floors, ideal for both family living and formal entertaining. Also of note is the generous driveway providing off road parking, westerly facing gardens and lovely views towards the North Downs.
The superb reception areas comprise a drawing room with French doors to the garden, a dining room and a sitting room with square bay window overlooking the garden. All enjoy a double aspect, attractive feature fireplaces and together offer excellent entertaining space.

Colburn House is approached over a generous driveway which culminates at the house and provides ample off road parking. Close board fencing together with mature shrubs and trees to the front boundary provide a degree of privacy. A mature hedge to one side of the property screens an enclosed courtyard with attached outbuildings comprising two store rooms and a gardener's WC.
The delightful gardens lie predominantly to the west of the property and are laid to lawn with established mixed hedging to the perimeter, providing year round colour and privacy. A paved path leads round the property to the rear where there is a further area of lawn. In total the plot amounts to about 0.46 of an acre.
