Glenrise, 40 Greenways, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, RH16 2DT

Seller's Secret...
"We love to get big groups of friends round for Sunday lunch and we spend so much time in our big kitchen diner. The log burner makes it super cosy in the winter and the size is just perfect for entertaining, especially with the bi-fold doors onto the garden. The road is so lovely and our position at the head of the close means we aren’t directly overlooked and it feels incredibly safe."

The House...
If you are looking for a beautifully presented detached family home in one of Haywards Heath’s most desirable private closes, then Glenrise could be the house for you. Believed to have been originally built in 1957 and positioned at the very top of this leafy close, the location is as a delightful as it is convenient, being just three quarters of a mile to Haywards Heath’s mainline station for commuters, a mile from lovely Lindfield and in one of the area’s most sought-after school catchment areas for young families.

Upon entry you’re welcomed by a roomy hallway that leads to each of the ground floor rooms. It is, without doubt, the 26ft x 20ft open plan kitchen/dining/living room that is the heart of this home – a superb space that is ready made for both entertaining and modern family life. The log burner provides a warming focal point during the winter months, whilst the bi-fold doors bring the outside throughout the summer.

The kitchen has been beautifully refitted with contrasting two-tone units, central island with breakfast bar, Range cooker, boiling water tap and quality stone countertops whilst durable LTV flooring flows throughout.

The brilliant boot room/utility is great after a muddy dog walk and the stable door is a lovely touch.

The flexibility of the ground floor is showcased with the inviting snug, which could easily be used as a home office or double bedroom, especially as the family bathroom is just over the hall. There is also a good size double bedroom that overlooks the garden. It enjoys its own modern en-suite making it a great room for a teenager or those needing ground floor bedroom space.

The staircase has become a feature with gorgeous runner carpet and the landing is bathed in natural light via the Velux window. The main bedroom is a relaxing retreat with characterful slope ceilings, a dual aspect and bespoke wardrobes. Its own ensuite is luxurious, with sumptuous marble tiling, freestanding bathtub, walk-in shower and eye-catching brass finishes.

The third bedroom is newly created as a result of a recent extension (2021) and is simply exquisite. The room draws you in with its natural light and vaulted ceiling whilst the Juliette balcony is a lovely feature, overlooking the garden and allowing the fresh air to flow in. Bespoke wardrobes provide excellent storage. The fourth bedroom is another good size double and the landing provides an useful study area – ideal for those of us working from home.

Further attributes include gas fired central heating with Hive smart system, double glazed window, bespoke plantation shutters and alarm system. The décor and interiors are chic and this home is a true ‘turn-key’ purchase that would suit a range of buyers including downsizers, young families and those who love to host friends & family.

Step Outside...
The rear garden is a beautiful oasis, bathed in the afternoon/evening sunshine due to its favoured westerly aspect. The paved terrace provides a perfect spot for a cold G&T and some ‘al-fresco’ dining. The well-stocked beds provides pops of colour and the established evergreen trees and hedged borders are a contrast to the town location, providing plenty of privacy & seclusion.

The rear elevation offers as much kerb-appeal as the front with the brickwork, clay tiles and oak window frames and wood weatherboarding tying in seamlessly on both sides. The blocked paved driveway provides parking for several cars and leads to the integral garage with double oak doors and power/lighting.

The Location...
Greenways is a highly desirable private close situated on the Haywards Heath/Lindfield borders, off West Common. The close is incredibly sought-after, particularly to families and commuters as Haywards Heath Station is just 3/4 of a mile distant and provides fast, regular services to London, Brighton and Gatwick International Airport.
