Lyoth Lane, Lindfield

DESCRIPTION This is an excellent family home in a superb semi-rural position, sitting on a quiet country lane, which we have fallen in love with. There are many features for a buyer to get excited about with the flexible space and layout being a key factor with accommodation of approximately 1,500 square feet and providing four bedrooms and excellent entertaining space. View to the east towards Sheffield Park and the Ashdown Forest in one direction, and westerly in another direction is another great feature.

The flow of the ground floor works really well, the spacious sitting room provides access and overlooks the garden. This room measures 21 x 17 and leads to the conservatory. The former kitchen and separate dining room is now one large kitchen/diner, with large windows to the front that looks towards the open field. There is plenty of work top prep space and appliances, as well as space for a dining table. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a large entrance hall which provides access to the cloakroom and a large under stairs storage cupboard.
A turning staircase leads to the first floor where you can find the four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Bedrooms one and two are located to the rear whilst three and four are at the front. We particularly like bedroom one, with its built in wardrobes and a spacious en-suite shower room. Bedrooms three and four provide great views of the fields opposite Lyoth Lane and beyond towards Sheffield Park and the Ashdown Forest. The first floor is completed by the family bathroom and an airing cupboard.
The garden to the rear is a good size and favours a southerly/westerly aspect ensuring that you benefit from plenty of daylight sun. There is a patio by the sitting room and conservatory, with the remainder laid to lawn. To the front, there is ample parking and an area of lawn and if required, potential to extend the parking or indeed the internal accommodation as seen elsewhere in the road. The garage measure 19 in length and provides rear access to the garden, whilst the car port is a useful addition.

LOCATION For those looking for that countryside feel but still within walking distance of the village, Lyoth Lane could be the perfect spot. On your doorstep is The Snowdrop pub, a firm favourite with many in Mid-Sussex and certainly with ramblers, who you can often see up and down Lyoth Lane. Elsewhere in the village there are some great places to eat; we also really like the Witch Inn or The Bent Arms. For an evening meal you can’t go wrong at the Limes Restaurant, Paolino’s Italian or Tamasha curry house. The newly opened 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. Lindfield Common is a great spot to 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!

For schools, both highly regarded Blackthorns Primary and Lindfield Primary are within walking distance. Follow Lyoth Lane in a northerly direction and it meets Gravely Lane, whilst a pathway brings you out closer to Lewes Road. You can walk to Lindfield primary school in approximately 20 minutes, so too for 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. A short drive takes you to Haywards Heath mainline station where trains to London Bridge and London Victoria are from 47 minutes. Brighton to the south, can be reached in 20 minutes.Brighton can be found 15 miles to the south, whilst a short drive north takes you to Crawley, London Gatwick and the A/M23.
