47 Gower Road, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, RH16 4PW

The House...
A delightful Victorian semi-detached home occupying a most convenient, yet quiet town centre location within easy walking distance of the high street and just under a mile to the mainline station. This character home is presented in excellent order throughout and retains plenty of charm typical of the Victorian era including bay windows, picture rails, cast iron fireplaces, high ceilings and panelled doors.

The ground floor accommodation includes an inviting sitting room and separate dining room. These rooms are the heart of the home and the open plan layout provide the perfect space for both entertaining friends & family and modern family living. Across the rear of the house is the refitted kitchen which enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden, a 10ft high vaulted ceiling and floods of natural light via the skylight window. The ground floor also includes the versatile study/bedroom 3 which offers a host of possibilities including a home office.

Stairs rise to the first floor which incorporates double bedrooms to the front and rear – both with fitted wardrobes and a refitted family bathroom with white suite.

Further benefits include gas fired central heating with new boiler (2014), replacement uPVC double glazing and calming neutral décor throughout.

Scope/Potential...
In our opinion, there is vast potential for extension, if required. The vendor’s have had initial plans drawn up for a loft conversion which would create an impressive master bedroom & en-suite. There is also scope to extend further to the rear. Any works would be subject to gaining necessary permissions.

Outside...
The rear garden is a real feature and extends to approximately 70ft in depth. There is a large expanse of level lawn (ideal for children) and a patio area immediately adjacent to the house and providing the perfect space for ‘al-fresco’ dining in the warmer months. To the front is off road parking for one car.

The Location...
