GUIDE PRICE £365,000 - £375,000
An immaculately presented 2-bedroom home in the exclusive Chapelfields Estate, with modern open-plan living, kitchen, diner with a well-established rear garden, off-road parking and scope to extend into loft space (STPP).

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Cuckfield, this charming home in the sought-after Chapelfields Estate combines the tranquillity of a residential setting with the convenience of being just a short stroll from the High Street, welcoming village pubs, and picturesque countryside walks.

Steeped in history, Chapelfields began life in 1843 as a purpose-built workhouse on land once known as “Old Meadow.” Over the decades it evolved into a hospital, was requisitioned by the Canadian Army during the Second World War, and later became part of the newly formed NHS in 1947. After serving the local community for more than 40 years, it closed in 1991 and was thoughtfully redeveloped into the desirable residential estate we see today. Many original features remain, including the converted main administrative block, the striking Grade II Listed chapel at the heart of the development, and the charming former lodges along Ardingly Road — all adding to the unique character and appeal of the area.

At the front of the property, there’s off-road parking for at least two vehicles and a practical enclosed porch — perfect for storing coats, boots, and keeping deliveries sheltered. Step inside and you’ll find a bright, spacious living room enhanced by elegant plantation shutters and clever under-stairs storage. The stylish kitchen, fitted with integrated appliances (including fridge/freezer, oven, and gas hob), enjoys a lovely garden outlook, while the adjoining dining area is ideal for entertaining, opening directly onto the rear garden through French doors.

Upstairs, there are two generously sized double bedrooms, with the main bedroom also featuring the smart white shutters. The family bathroom includes a bathtub with overhead shower, offering both practicality and comfort.

Practical features are already in place — gas central heating, double glazing (installed in 2022), and an updated fuse board — while the loft offers potential for conversion into a third bedroom, subject to consents.

The private rear garden has been beautifully landscaped with a lush lawn, established borders, and a handy timber shed for storage. A paved patio by the house makes an ideal spot for summer dining, and a rear gate leads directly to the development's playpark and woodland — perfect for dog walks or a peaceful stroll.

Goreside Lane, Chapelfields offers a quiet, friendly community with a footpath alongside the development leading directly to Cuckfield’s historic High Street. Here you’ll find a mix of cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops, including the acclaimed Talbot Inn and Ockenden Manor. Scenic countryside is right on your doorstep, with Borde Hill Estate and numerous footpaths close by.

For broader shopping and dining, Haywards Heath is a short drive or cycle away, offering The Orchards Shopping Centre, a variety of eateries on The Broadway, and leisure facilities from the Dolphin Leisure Centre to boutique fitness studios. Commuters will value the mainline station (just over a mile away) with direct services to London, Gatwick, Brighton, and the South Coast.

Families are well-served by an excellent choice of local schools, including Holy Trinity School, Warden Park Academy, Oathall Community College, and several well-regarded primary schools. Road connections are excellent, with the A272 and A23(M) providing easy access to surrounding towns, villages and beyond.
