Welcome to Hurstwood Cottages - where town meets country. This utterly charming Victorian cottage offers 1,366 sq ft of accommodation, 125ft garden, gorgeous interiors and you have open countryside literally on the doorstep. Opportunities to acquire cottages in such glorious positions are rarely available.

Welcome To Hurstwood Cottages... - This gorgeous cottage is the epitome of deceptively spacious, boasts a 125ft garden and enjoys what is surely one of the most idyllic locations in Haywards Heath, peacefully positioned on a quiet country lane on the southern fringes of town.

There are beautiful countryside views to the front and the rear, and this home would suit any buyer looking for a more ‘semi-rural lifestyle’, whilst retaining all the conveniences of town living.

The current owners have transformed the interior with gorgeous design and décor, creating a truly special home.

Cosy Cottage... - Upon entry you are welcomed by a spacious reception hall with beautiful fireplace, paying homage to the age of the home.

The sitting room lures you in with its wood burning stove, great on a chilly winter’s evening.

Light pours in through the large sash window and the space has been beautifully updated with herringbone flooring, a calming colour palette and bespoke alcove cabinetry.

Crittall style double doors interconnect this room with the impressive kitchen/diner making this idea for entertaining.

Let's Eat... - The kitchen is a fabulous social space that opens out on to the garden, making it perfect for ‘inside-outside’ living during the summer months.

The opulent quartz worktops add a touch of luxury and there is ample storage and prep space. The herringbone flooring from the sitting room continues through, adding to the natural flow.

The utility/boot room is incredibly handy after a muddy dog walk and leads through the cloakroom.

The dining is a stylish space with crittall doors onto the garden and tasteful panelling on the feature wall.

Master Suite... - The main bedroom is a delightful double room with the most beautiful rural vista over a neighbouring paddock, fields beyond and the South Downs on the horizon. The characterful fireplace provides a natural focal point and there is plenty of space for a wardrobe, chest of drawers and there is built in storage over the stairs.

And So To Bed... - Each of the remaining of three bedrooms is also a well-balanced double, each with a lovely leafy outlook. They are all served by the family bathroom with period style suite and overhead ‘drench’ shower head. The first floor has lovely new carpets and has been recently redecorated. There is also a large loft space that provides handy storage but also offers conversion potential, subject to planning.

Step Outside... - The rear garden is superb, extending to an impressive 125ft x 35ft. The paved terrace that is immediately adjacent to the house is great for ‘al-fresco’ dining and the large expanse of lawn is nice and level, great for children to play. At the far end is an impressive, fully powered timber chalet that is the perfect ‘work-from-home’ space, giving separation from the main house.

There are also a useful storage shed, hidden behind the chalet. There is a pedestrian access across the garden of 1 Hurstwood Cottages. To the front is a small garden and the residents park on the lane directly opposite the house.
