Built circa 1930s, this beautifully presented home combines over 900 sq ft of versatile accommodation with a number of recent improvements and fantastic potential to grow with its next owners.

Set within an established residential area of Haywards Heath, this attractive 1930s home offers a great balance of comfortable living space, character and flexibility, making it equally suited to first-time buyers, young families or those looking for a home they can adapt over the years.

The current owners have invested in the property during their time here, with improvements including a new kitchen within the past couple of years, air conditioning to the principal bedroom, the majority of the rear garden re-fenced and a new lawn laid.

Step inside and the ground floor flows particularly well. The generous living room provides plenty of space to relax and unwind, while to the rear the kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home. The recently updated kitchen provides a smart contemporary finish with plenty of preparation and storage space, alongside room for a dining table for everyday meals or entertaining friends.

From here, double doors lead through to the family room, creating a brilliant additional reception space overlooking and opening onto the garden. Whether used as a second sitting room, playroom or somewhere to simply relax at the end of the day, it adds another dimension to the ground floor and makes this a home that works particularly well for everyday family life.

Upstairs there are two well-proportioned bedrooms with built-in storage, with the principal bedroom also benefitting from the recently installed air conditioning. There is a family bathroom alongside a separate nursery/home office, providing useful additional space for those working from home.

For buyers wanting a more conventional three-bedroom layout, there is potential to reconfigure the first floor by switching the bathroom with the nursery/home office, potentially creating a larger third bedroom, subject to the necessary consents and professional advice.

There is also significant potential to extend the property, subject to planning permission, while the loft offers further potential for conversion. It gives the next owners the opportunity to enjoy a well-presented home from day one while still having genuine scope to increase the accommodation as their needs change.

Outside, the property benefits from driveway parking for two cars, while the rear garden has also seen recent investment, with the majority of the fencing replaced and a new lawn laid. Sitting next door to an allotment, the position also benefits from a greener and more open feel than you might expect from such a convenient location.

For commuters, Haywards Heath mainline station is approximately 1.3 miles away, offering regular services towards London, Gatwick and Brighton. Families are also well catered for with a choice of highly regarded local schools nearby, including Outstanding-rated options.
