Southdowns Park, Haywards Heath

DESCRIPTION This is an excellent home, uniquely positioned within Southdowns Park and with the added benefit of being detached. There is plenty of charm and character for a buyer to get excited about, we are big fans of the open plan space on the ground floor that flows and works really well. Our clients have utilised the triple aspect sitting room to incorporate a study area for those that need to work from home, with plenty of space for a sofa and a reading corner. The sitting room flows into the kitchen/diner where you’ll find ample space for a dining table. The work surface prep area provides plenty of storage, with a built in oven and hob, integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher. There is also space for a washing machine. The skylights in the kitchen provide a slick look and additional light into this room. The ground floor space is completed by a cloakroom and a useful understairs storage cupboard.

On the first floor, both bedrooms are doubles with the benefit of built in wardrobes. Both also have shutters that open out and provide more light into the room, in particular the main bedroom where the view outwards is in a south/westerly aspect. This bedroom also has the benefit of a vaulted ceiling. The bathroom also benefits from a separate shower, in addition to a bath. Immediately outside the house is the allocated parking space.
