Greenhill Park, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, RH17

Spacious, 1970s family home occupying a tucked-away cul-de-sac setting on the south eastern outskirts of the town, backing onto woodland and adjoining countryside.

Description

Built in 1973, 11 Greenhill Park is a spacious, detached, family home offering extension potential - subject to any necessary permissions, situated towards the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, and benefitting from convenient access to Haywards Heath (with its mainline railway station) and the A/M23 to the west.

To the ground floor, the accommodation is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall, with original parquet wood flooring and useful understairs storage cupboard.

A generously sized L-shaped sitting/dining room featuring an open fireplace with a rustic stone surround, enjoys a dual aspect to front and rear, bestowing an excellent quality of natural light. Sliding doors serve as a further complement, opening invitingly to a paved garden terrace, from which a most pleasant woodland outlook can be enjoyed.

The kitchen also benefits from an outlook to the rear and has been recently fitted with a range of contemporary base and wall cabinetry in a neutral gloss finish with marble-effect counters and accompanying splashbacks. There is in addition a full size integrated dishwasher and space for both a range cooker – with fitted extractor canopy over – and tall fridge/freezer. A separate utility room encompasses a useful secondary sink and provides space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

A well-appointed shower/cloakroom completes the ground floor layout.

To the first floor is a spacious landing, four double bedrooms – with integral wardrobes to three - and a modern family bathroom.

Externally, the rear garden offers an appealing degree of privacy and has been tastefully landscaped to comprise a paved terrace with a short flight of sleeper-edged steps descending to a level of lawn, bordered by mature planting and a variety of fruiting trees and bushes to include apple, cherry and redcurrant. A gate opens to a lower garden area specifically purposed for vegetable growing, complete with sleeper-edged raised beds, a timber summer house and greenhouse. A gate from the vegetable garden opens to a footpath providing wonderful walking opportunities within the adjoining woodland and open countryside, which enjoys picturesque views towards the South Downs.

To the side of the property, accessed directly from the kitchen and linking through to the double garage, is a bespoke decked and covered pergola area. Equipped with power, lighting and electric heaters, this offers a great spot for outdoor relaxing and entertaining all year round.

To the front a driveway offers parking for several cars, flanked by an area of lawn and a spectacular magnolia tree.
