Coulstock Road, Burgess Hill

DESCRIPTION This is a superb family home that we have fallen in love with. The traditional layout of this mid 90’s home has been adapted to appeal to modern living that would suit a growing family. On the ground floor the former kitchen and separate dining room is now a large, triple aspect kitchen/diner which benefits from plenty of natural light and is understandably the hub of the home. There is plenty of work prep space and integrated appliances which include a dishwasher, washing machine and oven and hob. The dining section can comfortably accommodate an eight seater table and there is also access to the side which takes you to either the front of the house or the rear garden. We like that fact that the sitting room is located at the rear and leads straight out to the garden. The original style French doors and windows have been replaced by bi folds which work perfectly with the terrace and ensures that the maximum amount of light enters the room. Elsewhere on the ground floor there is a cloakroom and internal access into the garage, opening up the possibility if a buyer wanted to create a further reception room, subject of course to obtaining the necessary approval.

The stand out feature of the bedrooms is the excellent loft conversation which now provides the master suite. Double aspect velux windows provide plenty of light and the sloping ceilings provide character without compromising on the size of the room. The walk in wardrobe/dressing room is a great idea and provides ample storage. The large en-suite bathroom has that luxury hotel feel to it – a large walk in shower in addition to a bath, wc and hand basin. On the first floor, the former master bedroom is now the guest bedroom, with its own en-suite and built in wardrobes. Bedrooms three and four are also a good size as is the fifth bedroom which can also be used as study. The first floor accommodation is completed by the family bathroom.

The rear garden enjoys a favoured southerly and westerly aspect and has been remodelled by our clients. It is here that you really notice the benefit of the corner position. The improved terrace is the perfect spot for a table and chairs and a BBQ, whilst the re-laid lawn benefits from external lighting. There is side access to the kitchen and to the front of the property. The garage provides power and light and the drive can accommodate two vehicles.

LOCATION This home is located in the southern section of Coulstock Road, close by to Sparrow Way and Jane Murray Way on the Western side of Burgess Hill. There are great local facilities on hand, close by is The Meadows Surgery and a Tesco Express providing plenty of daily choice. Across the road from The Meadows is one of our favourite pubs, The Woolpack which is a great place to eat and formerly a farm, dating back to the mid 1600’s. The comprehensive Triangle Leisure Centre is within approximately 0.7 miles. There are a good range of nurseries and primary schools in the town, with The Burgess Hill Academy or St Paul’s Catholic College being the choice for secondary schools. The highly regarded Gattons Infant school is rated as outstanding, whilst Southway Junior school is rated as good. The town offers two train stations, Wivelsfield and Burgess Hill station provide an excellent choice of mainline connections to Brighton, London Bridge and Victoria in under an hour. The town has plenty of places to eat out with a number of independent restaurants from Curry Houses to Spanish, to Tex Mex and steak houses. Excitingly, Burgess Hill has just been given approval for a £65 million redevelopment which will include a 10 screen cinema, hotel and additional 70,000 square feet of retail space.
