Full of charm and character, an impressive two bedroom apartment in the sought after Grade II listed development of Southdowns Park with allocated parking.
OVERVIEW Southdowns Park is a sought after development in Haywards Heath, close to the Princess Royal Hospital. This two bedroom apartment is located on the ground floor and benefits from being at the rear of the building and therefore features a southerly aspect. The sitting room feels spacious and leads through to the kitchen/dining area. The kitchen provides plenty of storage space, an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is a space for a washing machine too. Both bedrooms are double rooms with bedroom one benefitting from built in storage space, which the current owner uses as work from home space. The accommodation is completed by a family bathroom and a useful utility cupboard. The home also benefits from allocated parking. The gardens and grounds that surround Southdowns Park are stunning with numerous seating areas, courtyards and a designated barbecue area. The annual service charge covers all water rates, upkeep of the gardens, grounds and contributions towards the sinking fund for future expenditure. Also, within the complex there is the St Francis Social Club with its bar restaurant and club house, sports grounds, tennis courts and there is an independently run 18 meter indoor swimming pool which residents can use on a pay per visit basis.

LOCATION The location of Southdowns Park on the southern side of Haywards Heath is excellent. The A272 bypass connects you to Cuckfield and out onto the A23 without the need to pass through the town. 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. Pretty villages surround the town and include Lindfield, Cuckfield, Ardingly and Wivelsfield Green. Brighton can be found 15 miles to the south, whilst a short drive north takes you to Crawley, London Gatwick and the A/M23. Haywards Heath is a major stopping point on the mainline London to Brighton line where connecting trains to London Bridge and Victoria are under an hour and Brighton within 20 minutes.
