Whether you’re looking for a comfortable single-storey home as it stands, or a property you can adapt and grow into, March Cottage offers a fantastic opportunity in a highly sought-after location. This excellent detached bungalow that offers generous space, flexibility, and a superb location; a combination that will appeal to a wide range of buyers.

With around 1,100 sq ft of accommodation (including the garage), it’s a home that feels spacious and comfortable, without having to compromise on setting. Both bedrooms are positioned to the front, with mature hedging providing plenty of privacy from the road. The kitchen overlooks the rear garden and includes a breakfast bar and side access, while the sitting room opens onto the garden via sliding doors, creating a lovely flow between inside and out. A third room sits just off the sitting room, adding extra flexibility to the layout and could be ideal as a third bedroom, work from home office space or as it is currently used for, a playroom.

Outside, the driveway provides off-road parking in front of the garage, which offers excellent storage and has an electronically controlled roller door. There’s also potential to create additional parking by making use of part of the front garden if required. The rear garden enjoys a westerly aspect, with a full-width patio and lawn that capture the afternoon and evening sun. Several neighbouring homes have extended their accommodation, and (subject to the necessary permissions) there’s clear potential to extend into the loft to create further bedrooms and bathrooms.

The property tenure is freehold and the council tax band is E.

The local area.

Positioned just to the south of The Common, Gravelye Lane offers the perfect balance; village life right on your doorstep, yet with a sense of space and calm that’s hard to find so close to the heart of Lindfield. Step outside your front door, stroll along Gravelye Lane and left into Meadow Drive, and you’ll reach The Common in just a few minutes. This much-loved green space is a local treasure and a place to watch the world go by. In summer it’s alive with cricket; in winter, football takes over. The tennis courts offer year-round play, and the open lawns are a joy in every season.

Lindfield itself is a thriving village full of character. The High Street is lined with independent shops, local services, and a tempting choice of places to eat and drink. For a cosy pub lunch, The Bent Arms is a favourite, while Le Flamant is ideal for something special. Tamasha, opposite the village pond, serves excellent Indian cuisine, and coffee lovers will feel right at home at Lindfield Coffee Works or The Black Duck. For families, both Blackthorns Primary and Lindfield Primary are just across The Common, along with Oathall Community College. Commuters enjoy the best of both worlds; a peaceful village setting with excellent access to Haywards Heath station, where trains reach London Bridge and Victoria in around 44 minutes, and Brighton in about 20. There’s plenty to explore nearby too. Wakehurst Place, Nymans Gardens, and Sheffield Park (all National Trust gems) are within easy reach. Brighton lies 15 miles to the south, while a short drive north takes you to Crawley, Gatwick Airport, and the A/M23.
