1 Hurstwood Cottages, Colwell Lane, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, RH17 7QZ

The House...
A beautiful double-fronted character cottage occupying a truly glorious position on a quiet rural lane adjoining open countryside, yet within easy reach of Haywards Heath town centre. This delightful character home sits on a superb plot of around 0.21 of an acre and properties of this quality in these positions are seldom available and an early viewing is highly recommended.

The current vendors have been in occupation since 2009 during which time they have undertaken a painstaking renovation project to provide an exceptional character home with impressive room dimensions and lovely views from every window front and rear.

The spacious accommodation is ideal for both family living and entertaining includes a fantastic 25ft sitting room with log burner to the front of the house. The 20ft4 dual aspect kitchen/diner was provided by the reputable Yew Tree Kitchens and is an excellent social space with quality oak flooring. There is a 5 ring Rangemaster oven, integrated dishwasher and wine fridge. An oversized utility area has space for washing machine/fridge-freezer and leads to the ground floor cloakroom. This is perfect to bring in dogs, rather than bring them through the main house. There is also a versatile study which could easily be used as a play room or occasional bedroom.

Stairs rise to the first floor which boasts a fantastic dual aspect master bedroom suite which enjoys the most sublime views over open countryside towards the South Downs. The bedroom has a dressing area with fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite shower room with marble tiling and walk-in double shower.

There are two further double bedrooms (one to the front, one to the rear) and a stylish family bathroom with a standalone bathtub, LED mood lighting, glass mosaic tiling and overhead power shower.

Further attributes include gas fired central heating with ‘Worcester’ boiler and double glazed sash windows.

Outside...
In total, the plot extends to approximately 0.21 of an acre. The beautiful rear garden is laid mainly to lawn with pretty beds & borders filled with a plethora of trees, shrubs, plants & flowers. There is a paved terrace immediately adjacent to the house providing the ideal space for ‘al-fresco’ dining.

Potential...
To the west of the plot is a sizeable detached double garage with electronic overhead door. To the front is parking for two cars, with further parking available in the lane. There is also a potting shed providing additional storage.

The Location...
Hurstwood Cottages are situated on Colwell Lane off of Hurstwood Lane on the southern fringes of Haywards Heath and is surrounded by open countryside with glorious open views. This location offers a rarely available blend of peaceful rural position with easy links to the town centre with its extensive shopping & leisure facilities. The town centre includes The Orchards Shopping Centre, Waitrose and Sainbury’s Superstores, Dolphin Leisure Centre and The Broadway. The mainline station is two miles distant and boasts fast & regular commuter services to London (Victoria/London Bridge in approximately 47 minutes), Brighton (20 minutes) and Gatwick International Airport (20 minutes) while by car surrounding areas can be easily accessed via the A272 and/or A23(M) with the latter lying 6.5 miles west at Warninglid/Bolney. The local area is well represented in both state and private schooling including Ardingly College, Hurstpierpoint College, Worth School, Burgess Hill School for Girls, Great Walstead Preparatory School and Cumnor House (Danehill).

NB
There is a ‘neighbours right of way’ to the rear of the house. There is scope to re-direct this if necessary and if agreeable with the neighbouring properties.
