DESCRIPTION Price range £600,000-£625,000.

We have fallen in love with this superb family home which perfectly combines a village location with a modern finish to create a home that will excite buyers. There are many features that work really well, our favourite being the kitchen/diner which is the hub of the home. Formally two rooms, it is now one large room with sleek granite work tops to provide ample prep space and a breakfast bar. There are plenty of built in appliances – a five ring induction hob and oven, both of which are made by NEFF. There is an integrated fridge freezer, dishwasher and of course, a wine cooler. From the breakfast bar, space for an eight seater table ensures that whether you are causally sitting at the breakfast bar or entertaining for everyone, the space works brilliantly. We also really like that the oak floor in the kitchen flows into the sitting room and entrance hall. Bi-folds from the kitchen/diner take you into the triple aspect sitting room which measures 21 feet in length. There is a wood burner and bi-fold doors that leads you straight out to the terrace. The whole house feels bright throughout and this is amplified in the sitting room with an easterly, southerly and westerly aspect.

The entrance hall provides access into the WC and the utility room. There is clearly careful thought given to each room and how it works for a family. In the bathroom there is a laundry chute straight down to the utility room – a great feature that you rarely see in the UK and perfect when you consider that the washing machine and tumble dryer are in the utility room. The utility room forms part of the garage and both have lights which are activated by motion sensors.

The bedrooms on the first floor work really well, with the master suite, bedroom two and three overlooking the rear garden and the excellent countryside views beyond. The master suite benefits from built in wardrobes and a large en-suite bathroom. Bedroom three enjoys a double aspect and built in storage, whilst bedroom four to the front, also has built in storage. The family bathroom is a great size and the finish is excellent.

From the bi-folds in the sitting room, the terrace is the perfect spot for a BBQ and the mature garden has plenty of flower and shrub borders. Low level fencing and hedging behind provides a sense of space onto the fields behind and ensures that you really do feel like you are in the countryside. To the front, is off road parking for three cars and there is plenty of additional space in this quiet cul-de-sac.

LOCATION Paynesfield is a quiet cul-de-sac located off The Street in sought after Bolney. A stroll south along The Street takes you to The Eight Bells, a cracking village pub that serves great food! Slightly further walking distance but also a firm Mid Sussex favourite is the larger pub and restaurant, The Bolney Stage. A short drive to Foxhole Lane and you can find Bolney Wine Estate, an award winning vineyard. For families, on your doorstep is Bolney Under Fives, a pre-school and also breakfast and holiday club for older children, whilst Bolney C of E Primary School is rated as good. For secondary school, there is a bus stop at the top of Paynesfield that takes you to the Outstanding rated St Pauls Catholic School in Burgess Hill and also to the highly regarded Warden Park School in Cuckfield.

Cuckfield, with its boutique style shops and cafes, is 4 miles away with the larger town of Haywards Heath, a short distance further where the mainline train station takes you to London Victoria and London Bridge in under an hour. Perfect for commuters. Show Jumping at Hickstead is easily accessible to the south via the A23. To the north on the A23, London Gatwick is less than 20 minutes, and the M23/M25 junction a further 10 minutes on from Gatwick.
