Victorian Verve - If you’re looking for Victorian elegance and period grandeur then this exceptional, red brick, semi-detached period home on Haywards Road is surely going to be of interest to you. We have over 1,500 sq ft of accommodation with three bedrooms and superb ground floor living space – all within a ten minute walk of the town centre and just twenty minutes to Haywards Heath’s mainline station which will get you to central London in 45 mins and Gatwick Airport in just 10 mins.

Substantial period homes such as this are seldom available so this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.

Period Granduer - Upon entry you are immediately struck by the grandeur on offer with a generous entrance hall and the high ceilings. Your eye is immediately drawn down the hallway where you catch a glimpse of the kitchen and you will certainly notice the wealth of retained character throughout the home including exposed floorboards, deep skirtings, high ceilings, sash windows, picture rails and panelled internal doors.

To the front you are welcomed by a wonderful sitting toom which offers high ceilings, large bay window and a gorgeous fireplace.

Across the rear of the house is a truly superb open plan kitchen/dining/family space that is ready made for entertaining. The dining room has been created by an extension circa 2009 and enjoys a superb vaulted ceiling with two large skylights that allow the natural light to pour in. Bi-fold doors open to blur the division between the inside and the outside. The kitchen itself is bespoke and sympathetic to the age of the house, offering huge storage and prep space.

The former dining room is now an inviting and highly versatile snug/home office. The exposed brick fireplace is a real feature and with doors to the hall and the opening to the dining area creates fabulous flow.

Off the dining room is a separate utility room, which hides away the noisier appliances. A door then leads through to the single garage - an advantage rarely available with period homes.

There is also a ground floor cloakroom.

On the first floor you have the traditional split level landing which leads to each of the three double bedrooms. The main bedroom overlooks the front and has its own ensuite shower room. The second and third bedrooms are served by the family bathroom with eye catching roll top bath tub and period style suite.

The large loft space is ripe for conversion and there is lapsed planning permission to add a rear dormer to create a generous fourth bedroom.

The home is tastefully decorated, has gas fired central heating and access to an Ultrafast fibre broadband connection. There is also no chain meaning a swift move could be possible.

Step Outside - To the rear is a fabulous west facing garden that is bathed in afternoon/evening sunshine. The paved terrace is the ideal spot for some 'al-fresco' dining and the large expanse of level of is perfect for children to play. The old brick wall at the far end is another nod to the heritage of this period home. Gated side access leads to the front where you'll find driveway parking for a couple of cars.
