40 Marlow Drive, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, RH16 3SH

The House...
This excellent detached family enjoys a fantastic residential position on Marlow Drive – one of the most popular roads in the Northlands Wood area of town being close to a highly regarded primary school, convenience store and just a short stroll to the Snowdrop Inn country pub.

The house is offered for sale in impeccable order throughout with a spacious entrance hall that is open plan to the 21ft dual aspect sitting room. This inviting space has a working log burner – perfect for a chilly winter’s evening. In the warmer months, you can throw open the ‘French’ doors for ‘inside-outside’ living.

The social kitchen/diner also runs from front-to-back (21ft) with an extensive range of fitted units, integrated oven/hob, ‘Neff’ double oven and breakfast bar. There is a separate utility room, perfect after a muddy dog walk and with a door leading to the integral garage.

The ground floor also has a modern cloakroom.

A turned staircase rises to the central first floor landing that is bathed in natural light via a large window on the stairs. On this floor is the master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room with ‘Mira’ stop-start power shower. There are two further double bedrooms, single fourth bedroom that is currently used as a study and tasteful fully tiled bathroom with contemporary suite.

Since taking ownership in 2011 our clients have replaced all windows and doors, insulated the roof, installed cavity wall insulation and had solar panels erected on the south elevation generating around £700 p.a. in income and saving around £300 p.a on the heating bills. There is also gas fired central with regularly serviced boiler. With these changes the house has incredible energy efficiency (EPC: B 87).

Step Outside...
The rear garden offers plenty of privacy & seclusion and enjoys a favoured south-west facing garden meaning there is plenty of sunshine throughout the day. There are two paved terraces providing the perfect spot for a cold glass of wine or barbecue in the summer. The flower beds are well stocked with a plethora of flowers, trees, plants and shrubs. The remainder is laid mainly to lawn and there is gated side access.

To the front is a small well kept garden and recently laid tarmac driveway leading to the integral garage.

Scope/Potential...
There is, in our opinion, scope to extend over the garage to enlarge the first floor, if required. The garage could also be converted into additional ground floor living space. Any work would of course be subject to any necessary consents.
