Appledore Gardens, Lindfield

DESCRIPTION We feel that this is an excellent apartment that will appeal to either first time buyers or those that are downsizing and prefer a ground floor home without the need for steps.

Once inside the front door, the entrance hall on the ground floor provides lots of space for coats and shoes etc. We really like the size of the living room, it can comfortably host large furniture and even has space for a dining table at the far end, there is a large window which overlooks the front garden, allowing plenty of natural light to come in. In the kitchen, there is worktop space and storage cupboards, as well as space for appliances. Both of the bedrooms are doubles and look over the rear garden. The bathroom is located off the hallway. The rear garden is accessed from bedroom two and enjoys a good size patio which leads to a lawn area and includes a shed and a greenhouse. The front garden also belongs to this apartment and it is worth noting that many apartments along Appledore Gardens have converted the front garden into additional parking, subject to the necessary consent being granted.

LOCATION Appledore Gardens is located between West Common and Backwoods Lane. Turn left from your front door and a short walk takes you to Lindfield Common and then past the pond and into the centre of the village, or right towards Haywards Heath mainline station in the other direction. The station is less than a mile on foot where train journeys to London take approximately 46 minutes – perfect for commuters. You can reach Brighton in 20 minutes. The bustling Lindfield 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 Thursday evening at the top of the common, you can’t beat the pizza van!

For schools, both highly regarded Blackthorns Primary and Lindfield Primary are within walking distance, (Blackthorns rated as Outstanding by Ofsted and Lindfield as Good), as is Oathall Community College. There are great places to get out and explore from Lindfield. 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.
