Laureldene, Deanland Road, Balcombe, West Sussex, RH17 6PH

The House...
An exciting opportunity to acquire an attractive, bay fronted Victorian semi-detached home in one of Balcombe’s premier roads.

Although now requiring complete modernisation this period home offers vast potential for substantial extension to the side, rear and into the loft (subject to gaining any necessary planning consents).

At present the accommodation includes a sitting room with bay window & fireplace, dining room with fireplace and galley kitchen leading on to a utility room & ‘lean to’ with cloakroom.

On the first floor is the impressive master bedroom which extends across the entire frontage of the house. There is a second double bedroom overlooking the garden and larger-than-average family bathroom.

Outside...
The rear garden is a real feature and extends to approximately 100ft with a favoured westerly aspect, meaning plenty of afternoon/evening sunshine.

There is a detached garage to the side and a long driveway providing plenty of off road parking (bumper-to-bumper). The front of the house is well-screened by a laurel bush providing plenty of privacy.

Scope/Potential...
In our opinion, Laureldene offers plenty of options for extension and refurbishment to create a stunning period home in a prime position within Balcombe. The loft space provides plenty of room for an impressive master bedroom with en-suite or potentially two smaller bedrooms. By removing the garage, you would free up space to enlarge the kitchen and create an open plan kitchen/dining/family room with views over the garden. Any work would of course be STPP.

The Location...
Deanland Road is a most prestigious residential road located in the heart of the sought-after village of Balcombe. Village facilities include numerous shops and stores, tea room, village pub, social club, church, sports clubs, primary school and the mainline train station.

Haywards Heath and Crawley offer more extensive shopping and leisure facilities in addition to mainline railway stations (Haywards Heath to Victoria or London Bridge both approximately 47mins). By road, access to surrounding areas can be gained via the A23(M) which lies approximately 4.5 miles to the west at Handcross or north at Maidenbower. Balcombe is surrounded by beautiful Sussex countryside. To the east are Balcombe lake & Ardingly Reservoir with their variety of footpaths, bridleways and angling facilities. The area is renowned for the standard of its schooling in both the private and state sectors. A school bus runs through the village providing transport to Warden Park secondary school in the neighbouring village of Cuckfield.
