Silverdale Road, Burgess Hill, RH15

An impressive and beautifully proportioned home, occupying a generous plot in one of Burgess Hill’s most desirable residential settings. Built using quality materials and thoughtfully modernised over the years, the property retains a wealth of charm and character whilst offering the comfort and practicality expected of a modern family home. Its location is particularly convenient, with Burgess Hill mainline station less than a three-minute walk away and the town centre approximately five minutes on foot. Burgess Hill Girls Birchwood Grove Primary School and a doctors’ surgery are also all within easy walking distance.

The dual-aspect sitting room is a warm and elegant reception space, featuring a working open fireplace with brick inset and attractive marble surround, creating a natural focal point and a wonderfully traditional feel. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive dual-aspect, L-shaped kitchen and dining room. This sociable space is perfectly suited to modern family life and entertaining, with bi-fold doors opening directly onto the south-facing rear garden and creating a seamless connection between the house and outside space.

The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with an excellent range of cabinetry, incorporating an original larder and a central island with seating, cupboards, drawers and an oak worktop. Granite work surfaces complement the one-and-a-half bowl sink with mixer tap, whilst integrated appliances include a gas hob, double oven and dishwasher.

From the kitchen, steps lead down to a useful rear lobby with side access and entry to the utility room. The utility benefits from a traditional butler’s sink and plumbing for appliances. A separate study, accessed from the dining area, provides a quiet and practical workspace, with a deep eye-level cupboard discreetly housing the Worcester boiler.
Upstairs, the accommodation continues to offer generous proportions. A window on the half-landing provides an attractive outlook over the rear garden, whilst the main landing includes an airing cupboard and access to the boarded loft via a hatch and ladder.

The loft benefits from windows and offers considerable potential. Subject to the necessary consents and planning permission, there may be scope to extend the existing staircase to create direct access and further accommodation within the loft space.

Outside

The grounds are a particular feature. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a central York Stone pathway, attractive vegetable beds and a pond adding interest. To the side of the property, a long pebble driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a further hardstanding area, with access to a shed and the charming former coach house.

The coach house provides excellent ancillary space and comprises two garages with attractive brick floors, positioned either side of a central workshop. A wallmounted ladder provides access to the boarded loft
above, which benefits from two windows and offers useful storage or potential for further use, subject to any required consents. Side access leads through to the beautiful south-facing rear garden. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and is predominantly laid to lawn, with a paved patio providing a pleasant area for outdoor dining and entertaining. Colourful flower and shrub borders are complemented by mature yew hedging, creating a sense of privacy and enclosure. A greenhouse and woodshed, positioned to the rear of the coach house, complete the outside accommodation.
