Woodside, Haywards Heath Road, Balcombe, West Sussex, RH17 6NJ

The House
A superb Victorian semi-detached home situated within the sought-after village of Balcombe – one of the most popular villages in Mid-Sussex with its excellent schooling and mainline station providing swift links to London, Brighton & Gatwick.

The house has been substantially extended to provide spacious and well-proportioned accommodation that is ideal for family living.

The tone of this home is set as you walk through the front door into the impressive entrance hall with vaulted ceiling and skylight. There are three separate reception rooms meaning there is plenty of space for all the family and there is a wealth of retained period character including high ceilings, picture rails, deep skirtings, cornicing, wooden floors, stripped internal doors and attractive fireplaces

To the front is the inviting sitting room which is larger than many neighbouring homes due to the clever repositioning of the front door/entrance hall. This lovely space has a bay window with plantation shutters and a beautiful open fireplace – perfect for those winter evenings. The second reception room provides a versatile space ideal as a family room with ample room for a study area. Glazed double doors interlink these two rooms which, when open, provide a great entertaining space.

The kitchen provides ample cupboard & worksurface space, integrated appliances and leads through the exceptional dining/family room with vaulted ceiling, glazed gable and double doors opening on to the garden, providing an ‘inside-outside’ space for the summer.

There is also a superb ground floor shower room with vaulted ceiling, exposed brick wall and walk-in shower with ‘Drench’ shower.

On the first floor is the impressive master bedroom which extends across the entire frontage of the house with bay window & feature fireplace and scope for an en-suite, if required. There is also a second double bedroom and a large family bathroom with bath, ‘his & hers’ sinks and separate shower cubicle.

Stairs rise to the second floor which consists of the third double bedroom.

Further benefits include contemporary neutral décor, gas fired central heating with some cast iron radiators, sealed unit sash windows, plantation shutters and security alarm system.

Step Outside...
Woodside occupies a generous west-facing plot. The rear garden is laid mainly to lawn and extends to approximately 120ft in depth. There is a raised decking area, perfect for ‘al-fresco’ dining. There is plenty of mature shrubbery which provides a high-degree of seclusion.

To the front there is a recently landscaped and gated driveway providing off road parking for several cars.

The Location..
The property is situated on Haywards Heath Road within walk of village facilities including numerous shops and stores, tea room, village pub, social club, church, sports clubs, primary school and the mainline train station which provides services to London, Brighton and Gatwick Airport.

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.
