39 Gower Road, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, RH16 4PW

The House...
This gorgeous Victorian semi-detached home is located in a most convenient location for Haywards Heath’s town centre and is just under a mile to the station for commuters. This charming home retains a wealth of Victorian features including beautiful open fireplaces, picture rails, deep skirtings, bay windows, detailed cornicing, ceiling roses and panelled internal doors. These features combine with the contemporary specification & tasteful décor to striking effect and this home would appeal greatly to a fan of Victorian architecture.

In terms of accommodation, the inviting sitting room is positioned at the front of the house and has a central open fireplace and bay window. There is a spacious dining/family room, again with open fireplace, which leads through to the stylish kitchen – making it ideal for entertaining. The kitchen itself has underfloor heating, white gloss units, integrated oven/gas hob, breakfast bar area and a deep butler sink. There is also a cloakroom and door onto the garden.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms. The master bedroom extends across the entire frontage of the house. Both bedrooms are served by the beautifully refitted family bathroom with block tiling and overhead shower.

Further attributes include gas central heating, double glazed windows and tasteful herringbone flooring on the ground floor.

Scope/Potential...
There is, in our opinion, plenty of potential to extend to the rear and/or into the loft space, subject to planning permission. Neighbouring homes have undertaken a range of similar works so we feel a precedent is likely to have been set.

Step Outside...
To the rear is a pleasant, fully enclosed garden. The paved terrace provides the perfect spot for a morning coffee or barbecue. There is also a sizeable expanse of lawn, garden shed and gated side access. It is also worth noting the vendors are replacing the fence prior to any sale completing. To the front is driveway parking.

The Location...
