Gloucester Road, Burgess Hill

DESCRIPTION This is an excellent family home and will be the perfect choice for those buyers that are really looking for an older home with features. As soon as you walk into entrance hall, you get a sense of the space available – the view takes you through the kitchen/breakfast room at the rear and to the first floor landing above. There are two main reception rooms on the ground floor; the sitting room enjoys a south facing bay with sash windows and lets in plenty of natural sunlight. The open fire dominates this room and we can understand why our clients love spending time in this room. The formal dining room – a key feature of homes of this age, overlooks the rear garden and can comfortably accommodate a large table. This room also has a fireplace and complements the stripped wood floor. We really like the fact that the kitchen has so much preparation space, with the range style cooker sitting perfectly in the chimney stack. There is a window to the side and a stable style door which leads outside to the garden. Off the kitchen is the utility room, which has space for appliances and plumbing for a WC. The boiler is also located in here.

Stairs rise to the spacious split level first floor landing where there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. To the front is the master bedroom, the south facing bay has a glimpse of the South Downs in the distance and benefits from plenty of light. Floor to ceiling wardrobes provide plenty of storage, whilst bedroom two also benefits from the same amount of storage. To the rear of the first floor, there is a bathroom and a separate shower room. The bathroom is a good size and the shower room features a large walk in shower. The loft conversion provides two further bedrooms on the second floor. Both are doubles and help give this family home plenty of flexibility. To the rear, the garden is a great spot for entertaining and has space for a trampoline, a large garden shed and space for table and chairs. A feature of the garden is that it benefits from sunlight throughout the day.

LOCATION Gloucester Road occupies a fantastic residential location in the heart of Burgess Hill. It is a quiet road which links Fairfield Road and London Road. We love the fact that you can stroll across to St Johns Park or Fairfield recreation ground. There are local facilities on London Road, including the choice of two excellent curry houses on Lower Church Road and Royal George Road with the local pubs being The Cricketers on Fairfield Road and The Brewers Arms on London Road. There are a good range of nurseries and primary schools in the town, with Oakmeeds Community College or St Paul’s Catholic College being the choice for secondary schools. The closest infant school is The Gattons which is rated as Outstanding. The highly regarded Tudor House Montessori nursery can be found at the end of Gloucester Road. Commuters have the choice of two mainline stations; Wivelsfield and Burgess Hill station where trains to London Bridge and Victoria are under an hour. 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.
