William Allen Lane, Lindfield

DESCRIPTION This is a great family home for those that are looking to get onto the housing market for the first time, a perfect second or even perhaps a downsize move. The position of the home is brilliant; tucked away in a sought-after location, within the village and yet simple to get into Haywards Heath.
The welcoming entrance hall provides the ideal spot for jackets and boots, whilst as you walk into the double aspect sitting room you are instantly drawn to the natural light, wood block flooring and the double doors which look out onto the garden. The sitting room leads nicely onto an extended area which makes the perfect space for a study or play area. We’re very impressed with what the owners have done, they have converted the previous garage to create a separate dining area and we love the fact that they have taken away the doors as we feel that it flows just perfectly. The dining room flows nicely into the kitchen where you will find plenty of prep space and a further door leading out onto the garden.
On the first floor, there are three bedrooms; the master bedroom and bedroom three are located to the front whilst bedroom two and the bathroom overlook the garden. Both the master and second bedrooms have fitted storage. You will also find a large airing cupboard and a separate cloakroom.
Importantly, the garden is West facing and offers so much privacy, the garden is set in separate stages, as you step out of the living room you will find a generous patio area which then leads down to a levelled area of lawn which is enclosed by timber fencing. There is then a further lower area of garden which we feel has so much potential for either a children’s play area or the potential for further storage or a garden studio. To the front you have the added benefit of off road parking.

LOCATION We think that the location of William Allen Lane is perfect, providing the perfect blend of a village lifestyle however Haywards Heath Town Centre is within walking distance too. The property falls within catchment for the highly regarded Lindfield Primary School and Oathall Community College. We love Lindfield, the bustling High Street is the centre point of a thriving community with a wide range of independent shops to choose from. There’s plenty of great places to eat in Lindfield too; we recommend either the Witch Inn or The Bent Arms if you are looking for that perfect pub lunch. For an evening meal, you can’t go wrong at the Limes Restaurant or Paolino’s Italian. The newly opened Lindfield Coffee Works, tucked away on Alma Road off the High Street is proving to be a big hit and our go to place for coffee. Lindfield Common is a great spot to watch the world go by; cricket at the weekends in the summer or football in the winter. It is also the home of the bowls club. And on a Friday evening at the top of the common, you can’t beat the Fish & Chip van! Haywards Heath mainline station is within 1.3 miles on foot where you’ll find trains to London Victoria and London Bridge from 47 minutes. Brighton to the south can be reached in less than 20 minutes. Having recently undergone a generational programme, the station also includes a newly opened Waitrose. The countryside is not far from your front door, National Trust facilities are located locally at Wakehurst Place and Nymans Gardens, with Sheffield Park less than 15 minutes by road. Brighton can be found 15 miles to the south, whilst a short drive north takes you to Crawley, London Gatwick and the A/M23.
