The House...
An attractive double fronted 1930’s semi-detached family home in an ideal position for Haywards Heath’s mainline station and highly regarded schools.

The current owners have been in occupation since 1984 and extended in 2003. The property would now benefit from some modernisation but, in our opinion, offers vast potential for extension/reconfiguration if required.

The existing ground floor accommodation is well proportioned and comprises:- entrance hall, sitting room with bay window & fireplace, dining room, kitchen and sun room with cloakroom. On the first floor are two double bedrooms, single third bedroom and family bathroom. There is also the 25ft dual aspect first floor sitting room which could be readily used as a master bedroom.

There is plenty of retained character features including panelled doors, bay windows and fireplace. Further benefits include gas fired central heating and double glazing.

Scope/Potential...
In our opinion this home offers huge potential for further extension, if required. This could include replacing the existing sun room with a single storey extension to create an impressive open plan kitchen/dining/family room, converting the car port into additional living accommodation and a loft conversion to create additional bedroom(s) (the loft is semi-converted with velux windows in place). Any building works would be subject to gaining the necessary consents and permissions.

Outside...
The rear garden extends to approximately 70ft and is fully enclosed. There are areas of hardstanding and lawn a plethora of plants & shrubs. To the front is a block-paved driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles and leading to the secure gated car port.

The Location...
Sydney Road enjoys a most convenient location for Haywards Heaths mainline station, which provides fast and regular commuter services to London (Victoria/London Bridge in approx 47 mins), Brighton and Gatwick International Airport. Additionally there are a variety of local amenities within close proximity including a convenience store while 'Sainsburys' Superstore and the Olympus Leisure Centre are also within walking distance.
