Guide Price £500,000-£525,000 

Positioned on one of the quietest spots within the Foundry Gardens development, this immaculately presented home enjoys a wonderful outlook across the wooded area to the front, creating a far more open, rural feel than many modern homes can offer. Built by Countryside and first occupied towards the end of 2020, the property also benefits from the reassurance of the remaining NHBC warranty through to 2030.

As soon as you walk through the door, the presentation and immaculate presentation is instantly noticeable. The ground floor has been designed with modern living in mind, offering a sociable open plan layout that works exceptionally well day to day. The kitchen sits to the front of the house and provides excellent preparation space, complete with integrated appliances including a four-ring hob and oven, dishwasher and fridge freezer. A generous under-stairs cupboard cleverly houses the washing machine while also providing valuable additional storage.

To the rear, the sitting area is a bright and welcoming space with French doors opening directly onto the garden. There is plenty of room here for both comfortable seating and a dining table, making it an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. Running throughout the ground floor is attractive Amtico-style flooring, which not only looks great but creates a seamless flow from room to room. A cloakroom off the entrance hall completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the layout continues to impress with three well proportioned bedrooms. Bedrooms one and three overlook the rear garden, with the bedroom one benefiting from built-in wardrobes and a stylish en suite featuring a large walk in shower with twin shower heads and useful storage. Bedroom three is a particularly good size for a third bedroom, avoiding the typical ‘box room’ feel.

Bedroom two sits at the front of the house, enjoying the pleasant southerly outlook and also offering built in wardrobes. The main bathroom is finished to the same high standard and provides a clean, contemporary feel.

Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of usable spaces. A patio area sits directly outside the house, with steps leading up to a lawned section and a decked seating area that catches the sun beautifully. The garden is enclosed by fencing on three sides and benefits from side access past the garage.

The garage itself can be accessed from the garden and features an electronic roller door to the front, along with excellent storage within the pitched roof space accessed via a pull down ladder. Off road parking is also available to the front of the property.

The local area. 

Foundry Gardens sits on the southern side of Haywards Heath, with Kilnwood Avenue tucked away towards the end of a quiet no-through road; giving it a more private, less “through traffic” feel than many modern developments. Everyday essentials are within easy reach, with a Sainsbury’s Local on Wivelsfield Road and a Co-op on Franklynn Road both close by, while the main town centre offers a wider selection of shops, cafés and restaurants. For those who enjoy getting outdoors, the surrounding countryside is never far away, with plenty of nearby routes for walking, running and weekend exploring.

For travel, the location works exceptionally well. Wivelsfield Road and Rocky Lane provide easy access in and out of town, while the A272 links you east towards Uckfield and on to Tunbridge Wells, and west towards Cuckfield and the A23/M23. Brighton is around 15 miles to the south, with Crawley and London Gatwick Airport easily accessible to the north. Haywards Heath station is only a short drive away and provides fast, frequent services—London is from 46 minutes and Brighton in around 20 minutes, making this a great spot for commuters.The area is also well placed for some of Sussex’s most popular outdoor spots, including Wakehurst Place, Nymans and Sheffield Park and Garden, all within a short drive. A number of highly regarded villages sit nearby too, including Lindfield, Cuckfield, Ardingly and Wivelsfield Green, each offering their own character and sense of community.
