Sophia Place, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, RH16

Attractively presented four-bedroom modern detached home with walled garden, tucked away in a modern development overlooking woodland.

Description

Completed in 2022-23, 25 Sophia Place is a handsome double-fronted detached home, combining red brick and half tile-hung elevations for a timeless yet modern appearance. Set in a tucked-away position within an attractive contemporary development, the property benefits from a remainder of the NHBC new homes warranty and enjoys a lovely outlook to the front over grassland and woodland.

Inside, the well-presented accommodation features a neutral colour palette and spacious, light-filled rooms. The uPVC front door, set beneath a classical-style surround, opens into an L-shaped entrance hall with grey wood-effect flooring, a built-in double coats cupboard, and a stylish cloakroom.

The triple-aspect sitting room, also finished with grey wood-effect flooring, has French doors opening onto the rear garden, while the open-plan kitchen and dining room boasts a bay window to the front and matching double doors providing garden access.

The kitchen is fitted with modern grey units topped with marble-effect worktops and is equipped with a range of integrated appliances, including an AEG oven and combi oven, five-ring gas hob, integrated dishwasher, and full-height fridge and freezer. A handy utility room adjoining the kitchen provides space for laundry appliances.

Additional ground-floor accommodation includes a study to the front of the house, ideal for working from home.

Upstairs, the dual-aspect principal bedroom benefits from a bank of fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms - one currently used as a TV room and another featuring a built-in cupboard - all served by a modern family bathroom with both bath and separate shower.

Outside, the property is approached via a block-paved driveway providing parking for two to three vehicles ahead of the attached single garage. The tiered front garden is attractively landscaped with wooden sleeper raised beds and central steps leading to the front door. Gated access leads from the driveway to the enclosed, walled rear garden, which features an artificial lawn and a large L-shaped paved terrace with multiple external power points.
