Orchard Close, Burgess Hill

DESCRIPTION This a great home and there are many reasons why we have fallen in love with it! Firstly, the upgraded specification and finish throughout certainly gives it that extra edge. We love the flexible living space on offer as well as the security of the remaining NHBC warranty.

The home sits on an enviable plot and the two large bay windows give off plenty of kerb appeal and as you enter you can’t help but notice the natural light which beams through. The ground floor living space is incredibly versatile, you have a family room which measures over 16ft in length and has a feature bay window and an electric fireplace. There is also another reception room with a bay window which could easily work as a playroom, dining room or a study, dependent on your lifestyle. It doesn’t stop there; the real hub of the home is the large breakfast and kitchen area which combined measures over 22ft. Upgraded throughout, the tiled flooring and granite worktops are simply stunning. We love the fact that the owners had arranged for the developers to incorporate an extension at the rear to create a conservatory which is currently used as a dining area. The under-floor heating in the conservatory provides that luxury feel.

Double doors lead out to the garden and for a modern home, the size of the rear garden is exceptional, it is secluded and offers great privacy and overlooks the woodlands. There are several areas to the garden, we were impressed by the space on offer provided by the patio and lawn areas. There is side access into the garage as well as a gate leading out to the driveway which can comfortably accommodate two cars.

The first floor has been cleverly designed. The master bedroom is at the front with two sets of windows providing ample light. There is also an en-suite which has been fully upgraded. Bedroom two is a comfortable double bedroom and three and four are generous singles. We are impressed with all three of these rooms and being located at the back of the house they have with great views. The top floor is finished with a generous family bathroom, with upgraded sinks and tiles providing that show home feel.

LOCATION Orchard Close is an excellent spot for families or those looking to commute. Set on a no through road, there is the obvious benefit of hardly any passing traffic and therefore providing a quiet location.

The private road adds to residents being involved and ensuring everyone has a say in how the road is managed. Wivelsfield station is within a comfortable 15-minute stroll however there is a cut through which could half this time, with mainline connections to Brighton, London Bridge and Victoria in under an hour.

For primary schools, the property falls within catchment for Wivlesfield Primary and its rated as good under its most recent Ofsted report, whilst the secondary school catchment is Chailey School which is incredibly popular. Both schools offer a free bus service for pupils and both stops are within a safe walk from the property.

The town has plenty of places to eat out with several 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.
