Hurstwood Lane, Haywards Heath

DESCRIPTION **Guide Price £700,000 – £725,000**

For anyone searching for that spacious home that a family can grow into, this detached home on Hurstwood Lane might be the perfect one to fall in love with. Extended over time to create excellent ground floor space, coupled with the opportunity for further enhancement, this superb home will tick many boxes. There is so much about it that we really like. The opening up of the original dining room and kitchen and the addition of the ground floor rear extension, now provides a brilliant open plan kitchen/family and dining space, with plenty of flexibility and light on offer. The kitchen has ample wood work surface area with striking high gloss units with integrated appliances. There is a built in oven and microwave with warming plate, induction hob and integrated dishwasher, as well space for a large fridge freezer and wine cooler. We like the fact that next to the kitchen is a utility room with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as a sink and access to the rear. The kitchen can accommodate a small table and the breakfast bar provides that additional eating area. The large porcelain tiled floor flows effortlessly into the family room which can either be separated off by the bi fold doors or as our clients prefer, a large entertaining space. The sky lights in the family room enhance the light that is let in through the bi folds that take you out to the terrace. Another feature we like is the underfloor heating in the kitchen and family room.

Also accessed from the kitchen is the sitting room which is spacious enough to accommodate a large sofa and has the benefit of a wood burner. Elsewhere on the ground floor, there is a study which could also work as a playroom, a separate cloakroom and internal access into the double garage. We think the garage offers great potential. The drive provides ample parking for multiple vehicles and therefore should a buyer need further accommodation space, subject to the necessary consent being granted, this 18 x 16 room could provide a wide range of uses.

Stairs rise to the first floor where the south/east aspect window provides plenty of light into the landing. All of the bedrooms are an excellent size and all have built in storage. The master bedroom has been adapted to provide a large walk in wardrobe as well as an en-suite and has a view over the rear garden. Bedroom two also overlooks the rear, whilst three and four overlook the front. The bathroom, like the rest of the accommodation is presented in excellent order and we particularly like the clever storage by the bath. The gardens of this home are a real feature and it is easy to see how the extension has really enhanced the living space. The bi folds leads out to a landscaped terrace which spans the width of the property, with wide central steps that lead you to the lawn area. The garden is an excellent size and benefits from plenty of sunlight throughout the day. The garden is mature and well stocked, with a variety of plants and trees to provide shade and privacy. To the front, there is ample off road parking on the gravelled drive. The plot extends past the gravelled drive and to the edge of the lawn area.
