Haywards Heath Road, Balcombe, RH17

Nestled in the popular Village of Balcombe, Teazles Cottage is a delightful period home dating back to the late 1800s, exuding character and warmth throughout. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, the property offers generous proportions, excellent ceiling height, and an abundance of natural light - a rare combination in a home of this era.

The solid oak front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall - the perfect place to leave muddy boots after countryside walks. From here, there is access to a useful cellar (measuring approx. 11' x 9'), ideal for wine storage or general use, as well as a convenient downstairs cloakroom.

The heart of the home is the inviting drawing room, where a stunning inglenook fireplace creates a beautiful focal point. Spanning the full width of the room, this space enjoys a lovely flow into the adjoining dining room, forming a fantastic open-plan layout that's perfect for entertaining. Exposed timber beams and soft, neutral tones enhance the warm, welcoming feel, while dual-aspect windows ensure both rooms are bathed in natural light.

The kitchen has been designed with both style and practicality in mind, featuring extensive worktop space, soft-close cabinetry, and clever storage solutions such as magic corner units. Quality appliances include a Miele 5-ring gas hob, NEFF oven, microwave, and warming drawer - all perfectly suited for modern living. The kitchen also enjoys a bright, south-facing aspect.

From the dining room, doors lead to both a separate study - ideal for home working with garden views and dual-aspect light - and a spacious conservatory measuring approximately 18' in length. This versatile space currently accommodates a large dining table and opens directly onto the rear garden.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, a rare feature in cottages of this kind. The principal bedroom, located at the rear, features beautiful stripped wooden floors. Bedroom two boasts a feature fireplace and fitted storage, while bedroom three also benefits from a built-in cupboard. A stylish, contemporary bathroom completes the first floor, offering a large slipper bath, a generous walk-in shower, and quality fixtures throughout.

Outside, the garden is a particular highlight. A large south-facing terrace provides the perfect space for al fresco dining and summer barbecues. Steps lead up to a raised lawn and decking area, with a brick-built shed under a pitched roof offering useful outdoor storage. The property also benefits from off-road parking for one to two vehicles in front of a garage (not included), located nearby on Deanland Road.
