Deanland Road, Haywards Heath, RH17

Occupying a good-size plot on one of Balcombe’s loveliest roads, Beech House is a family home with excellent potential for modernisation and extension (STPP). The house has been a much-loved family home for many years and has been well looked after, and now presents the new owner with the opportunity to add their own stamp on the property. The detached house was built in the 1970s and is generously proportioned, offering plenty of space for entertaining as well as the demands of busy family life. There is also scope to extend to the rear or convert the garage to additional accommodation if desired (subject to obtaining the necessary consents).
The house is entered onto a central entrance hall leading to a sitting room, separate dining room and a conservatory, all of which interconnect via two sets of French windows, creating one big room for entertaining when needed. Separate to the reception rooms there is a kitchen and a utility room which houses the laundry appliances and provides access to the rear garden. A cloakroom with WC and two useful storage cupboards complete the ground floor. Upstairs there is a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, a family bathroom and three further bedrooms, one of which has access to a southwest-facing private balcony.

Outside

Beech House is set within well-maintained gardens that are enclosed by mature trees and shrubs, making it feel very secluded. To the front, a gated entrance opens to a gravel driveway with space for a number of cars, under the boughs of a stately copper beech which gives the home its name. There is an attached garage which also benefits from rear access to the rear garden, which is attractively landscaped to include a generous lawn, a paved terrace adjoining the rear of the house and the conservatory and a number of colourful shrubs around the border.

Situation

The property is situated within the sought-after village of Balcombe, which has a thriving community with a popular primary school, village shop, public house, church and village club. Balcombe station (0.7 miles) offers direct services to London Victoria, Blackfriars and London Victoria. Nearby is Ardingly Reservoir with opportunities for walking and watersports at the Ardingly Adventure Centre. The area is renowned for the standard of its schooling in both the private and state sectors with Balcombe C of E and independent Handcross Park in close proximity. Haywards Heath offers more extensive shopping and Balcombe offers excellent road communications via the A/M23 to the M25, the motorway network and Gatwick Airport.
