36 Gatesmead, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, RH16 1SN

The House...
The attractive detached family home is believed to have been built in the mid-1970s and occupies a peaceful position on the ever-desirable Gatesmead – a quiet residential position on the Haywards Heath/Lindfield borders.

Being offered to the market for the first time since 1982, this superb home offers spacious, flexible and family-friendly accommodation in a great location but would now benefit from some updating, giving an incoming purchaser the chance to put their own stamp of the property, if required.

A central entrance hall leads through to the dual aspect 18ft sitting room, with sliding doors opening on to the garden. The dining room sits adjacent to the kitchen, again with a pretty outlook over the garden. These two rooms could be knocked-through to create a superb open plan space, with doors straight onto the garden – great for entertaining.

The 15ft family room provides a flexible space that could be used as a playroom or a great ‘work-from-home’ space.

A turned staircase rises to the first floor, with cloakroom off the half-landing. The main bedroom is a good size double with fitted wardrobes and en-suite shower room. The second and third bedrooms are both great doubles with a lovely outlook, whilst bedroom four is a good size single. Each are served by the spacious bathroom.

Further attributes include gas fired central heating with Worcester boiler, uPVC double glazed windows throughout. We believe the electrics may benefit from updating.

Step Outside...
The house has a wedged shaped plot and a pretty rear garden with level area of lawn and paved terrace for ‘al-fresco’ dining. There is a selection of established shrubs, plants and flowers including a stunning camellia.

There is a lovely wide front garden with beautiful blossom tree.

To the side of the plot is a detached single garage and driveway parking.

Scope/Potential...
Given the shape of the plot, there is plenty of room to extend to the side. The loft is also large and, with the additional of a dormer, this space could be converted into an exceptional master suite or two further bedrooms. Any work is of course STPP.

The Location...
Occupying an enviable position in the sought-after Gatesmead, on the popular Haywards Heath/Lindfield borders. Lindfield is a gorgeous, quintessential village with a bustling High Street providing a range of local shops and services, medical centre, churches and public houses. For daily amenities, Cloughs Delicatessen is just a short walk in the nearby Sunte Avenue. Haywards Heath is also within easy reach providing a more comprehensive range of shopping (Waitrose and Sainsbury's) and leisure facilities together with mainline train station providing fast links to London (45 minutes to London Bridge/Victoria), Gatwick International Airport and the South Coast.

The house is located close to two highly regarded primary schools in the form of Lindfield Primary Academy and Blackthorns Primary Academy. For secondary education, most children attend Oathall Community College.
