Franklynn Road, Haywards Heath

DESCRIPTION This is a beautiful family home, one that we think buyers will appreciate for its charm and stylish décor, with the added benefit that there is planning permission granted to significantly extend the accommodation. The current layout is a traditional two reception room and kitchen on the ground floor. Our clients currently have the sitting room and dining room as one, which allows plenty of light in to both the front and the rear. There is access into the sitting room from the entrance hall should a buyer wish to reinstate the two reception rooms. We really like the fact that the dining room leads you straight out to the rear garden. The kitchen is presentable and functional, also with access to the rear. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, bathroom and separate toilet. The garden is an excellent feature. Facing south/westerly, it bathes in sun throughout the day. Currently, there is a patio area which then leads to the lawn area. The drive to the front can comfortably accommodate two cars.

Permission was obtained in October 2018 to create a two storey side and single storey rear extension. The ground floor would retain the existing sitting room to the front which could work well as a playroom, whilst the dining room becomes a larger area and incorporates the kitchen. There is then an opening to an impressive kitchen/diner – perfect for families and entertaining with the added benefit of a utility room. The bi-folds are the perfect touch that lead you to what will still be a very good size garden. The first floor is then reconfigured to produce four bedrooms and a bathroom and then stairs to a second master suite.
