About the property
The House...
This attractive & imposing detached family home offers plenty of kerb appeal with traditional ‘Sussex style’ tiled façade and forms part of an enclave of just three homes off London Road, believed to have been built in the 1960s.
The 1,650 sq ft of accommodation is as spacious as it is flexible and there is no shortage of space on offer making this the perfect family home.
Upon entry you’re welcomed by a central hallway with striking black & white check tiled flooring. The main sitting room is a brilliant, 22ft x 17ft L-shaped space that enjoys a dual aspect and ‘French’ doors that open on to the garden, perfect during the summer months.
The kitchen was extended to the rear around the millennium to create a superb 22ft open plan space that is great for entertaining. The kitchen itself provides excellent storage and prep space as well as a range of integrated appliances including oven, grill & hob. The utility room hides the noisier appliances out of the way and the side door is handy after a muddy dog walk or football training.
The former integral garage has been cleverly converted into an incredibly versatile 18ft family room/ground floor double bedroom. With the position adjacent to the utility and the side door there is excellent annexe potential here.
The ground floor also boasts a modern walk-in wet room.
On the first floor there are four great bedrooms, the family bathroom and cloakroom. The main bedroom is an exceptional, 17ft dual aspect room with fitted wardrobes. Each of the remaining bedrooms are very equal size, good doubles and all overlooking the rear.
Modern attributes include gas fired central heating, double glazed windows throughout and superfast broadband possibilities (up to 74 mbps download speed), handy for those who work from home.
Scope/Potential...
The large loft space is ripe for conversion into an exceptional master bedroom with ensuite & dressing room. There is also scope to knock through the kitchen to create a large open plan space and to extend across the rear. Any work would be subject to gaining the necessary consent.
Step Outside...
The rear garden is delightful and bathed in morning sunshine. There is a large expanse of level lawn, great for children to play and plenty of established borders and beds. A paved terrace at the end of the garden enjoys the last of the evening sunshine and there is a detached garage, which is accessed via the rear of the house (off Chapel Close). To the front is driveway parking for two cars (side-by-side) and a small lawn. There is gated access either side.
Location, Location, Location...
London Road is centrally located in Burgess Hill and provides swift road links north onto the A273 bypass or south and towards the town centre, with The Martlets Shopping Centre and Waitrose Supermarket. The town also boasts a Tesco Superstore and the Co-Operative on Maple Drive is a short walk and handy for those everyday essentials. The beautiful Bedelands Nature Reserve is only a half-mile distant and the perfect spot to walk the dog, with 35 hectares of woodland, wild meadows and the locally famous 'Mill Pond'.
For those requiring rail services, Wivelsfield Station is just under a mile distant and provides mainline services to London (Victoria/London Bridge in around 55 mins), Gatwick Airport (15-20 mins) and Brighton (18 mins). The town has a second mainline station at Burgess Hill.
School wise we believe the catchment areas are Sheddingdean Primary and Burgess Hill Academy Secondary. In the private sector there is a range of excellent schools in the locality including Hurstpierpoint College, Ardingly College and Burgess Hill Girls School. For younger children, there are plenty of excellent nurseries in town including Montessori and MightySaurus,
The nearest pub/restaurant is The Oak Barn – a stunning 18th century barn that serves great food, including a tasty Sunday Roast. The seat in front of the roaring open fires are perfect for a glass of red. Burgess Hill Golf Centre is next door and has a driving range and 9 hole course.
By car, surrounding areas can be easily accessed via the A23 which lies just 3.5 miles north west at Hickstead and provide north and southbound links.
