Appledore Gardens, Lindfield

DESCRIPTION This home may need updating but there are bundles of features for a buyer to get excited about. Priced to sell and with motivated clients to get moving, we particularly like the ground floor entertaining space, with the bespoke 18ft kitchen/breakfast room, with its ample prep space all centred around the large dining table. Doors from both the kitchen and the sitting room take you out to the rear garden. The sitting room is a good size and also has a log burner. To the front, there is a study located which could also be used as playroom if required. We also think that there is potential to convert the garage if required and still have the ability to retain parking on the drive.
On the first there are four good sized bedrooms. The master bedroom is located to the rear and benefits from built in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. Bedrooms two and four overlook the front whilst bedroom three also overlooks the rear. The garden is a particular feature of this home with a large expanse of lawn which backs onto farmland, there is plenty of space to kick a football around or create a vegetable patch.

LOCATION The position of Appledore Gardens is fantastic. Turn right out of the road and a short walk takes you to the common and then passed the pond and into the centre of the village, or turn left towards Haywards Heath mainline station in the other direction. The bustling High Street is the centre point of a thriving community with a wide range of independent shops to choose from. There are also plenty of great places to eat in Lindfield; 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, Paolino’s Italian or Tamasha curry house. 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. Stroll to Lindfield Common and you can 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!
