Description

The View, 5 Sunte Park is a substantial and stylishly presented detached house, offering a buyer the opportunity to acquire a detached modern house in a desirable no-through road, just under a mile from Haywards Heath station. The property was built in 2019 as part of a select private development of just eight homes set around open parkland of which each property has shared ownership. The house is finished to a high specification, offering an ideal combination of style and comfort throughout. Points of particular note include beautifully presented accommodation in a stylish muted colour palette, high ceilings, porcelain tiling to the majority of the ground floor, underfloor heating throughout, Control 4 zoned lighting and Hik-Connect security systems operated by keypad or app, Wi-Fi network, and audio speakers in the kitchen, dining and family room.

The house has a pleasing flow, ideal for everyday family life and entertaining alike. The front door opens to the entrance hall which sets the scene for the rest of the house, being elegant, light and bright and with a glazed partition and double doors drawing the eye through to the kitchen and garden beyond. There is a spacious dual-aspect sitting room with a stone fireplace set with a log burner, a versatile study (which could be used as a snug or playroom), a formal dining room, and an impressive open plan kitchen, dining and family room spanning the rear of the house, with a roof lantern and bi-fold doors opening to the rear terrace. The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary-style handless units with quartz worktops and a central island with breakfast bar; Smeg integrated appliances include a double oven, five-ring gas hob, fridge/freezer and wine fridge, together with a Quooker boiling water tap. The kitchen is served by a useful utility room with side access to garden; a cloakroom with WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

There are five bedrooms on the first floor arranged around a galleried landing, together with the family bathroom. The principal bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom; bedroom two also has an en suite shower room.

Please refer to the floorplan for a full overview of the layout and extent of the accommodation, which extends to over 2,760 square feet.
