The House...
An incredibly spacious and well-arranged detached family home (1,840 sq ft) with superb south-westerly garden, occupying an peaceful position at the very end of the Weald Rise – a desirable residential close that lies off Fox Hill.

Originally built in the 1960s, the proportions and layout are excellent for a family. The sitting room extends to nearly 18ft and is bathed in natural light due to its southerly aspect. The fireplace provides a focal point and there is a lovely outlook over the garden. This room interconnects with the dining room with double doors allowing the choice between separation and open plan living.

The kitchen sits adjacent to the dining room and this could be knocked through to create an exceptional open plan kitchen/diner, if desired. As it stands, there is excellent storage and preparation space as well as an integrated oven.

There is also an incredibly versatile family room (formerly an integral garage before being converted circa 2012) which is perfect as a children’s playroom or large home office. There is also a side door and lobby, very handy after a muddy dog walk!

Just off the dining room is the study, perfect for those who work from home (it is currently used as utility).

The ground floor also boasts an oversized cloakroom and there is plenty of storage under the stairs for shoes & coats. There have also been new floors laid in the kitchen, dining room, sitting room and family room.

A turned staircase rises to the first floor landing, which is flooded in light via the tall window on the half landing.

This level boasts four excellent bedrooms. At 18ft, the master is particularly spacious and enjoys the most delightful leafy outlooks as well as an open plan ensuite area. The second bedroom also overlooks the rear and is just under 17ft. The third and fourth bedrooms both enjoy fitted wardrobe space and overlook the front.

Each is served by the modern shower room (refitted 2017) with walk-in shower cubicle and power shower.

Further benefits include gas central heating with ‘Megaflo’ system, double glazed windows throughout and cavity wall insulation.

One big notable benefit is the house is offered for sale with no onward chain, meaning a swift move is possible.

Step Outside...
The rear garden is superb, extending to approximately 90ft in length with a favoured south-westerly aspect meaning there is plenty of sunshine throughout the day.

The paved terrace is the perfect spot for outside entertaining and a barbecue. The majority is laid to lawn, perfect for children to play and there are established shrubs and trees that provide screening and privacy.

To the front is a large block-paved driveway providing plenty of parking and pleasant area of front garden.

Scope/Potential...
There is, in our opinion, plenty of further potential to extend/enlarge the house, if required. The rear elevation is flat and the garden is large so there is scope to extend to the rear. The loft space also offers potential for conversion and you could add a porch to the front. There is also the option to knock the kitchen and dining room through to create an open plan feel. Any work is of course subject to consents.

The Location...
Weald Rise lies off Fox Hill, on the southern fringes of Haywards Heath, within easy walking distance of beautiful Sussex countryside and the Fox & Hound pub. The town provides good shopping & leisure facilities including the Orchards Shopping Centre, Waitrose & Sainburys Superstore, Dolphin Leisure Centre and The Broadway. The mainline station is two miles distant and boasts fast & regular commuter services to London (Victoria/London Bridge in approximately 47 minutes), Brighton (20 minutes) and Gatwick International Airport (20 minutes) while by car surrounding areas can be easily accessed via the A272 and/or A23(M) with the latter lying 6.5 miles west at Warninglid/Bolney.
