Queens Road, Haywards Heath

DESCRIPTION **Guide Price £500,000-£525,000**

We have fallen in love with this gorgeous Victorian home, full of charm and character and presented in superb order. For those that are looking for that older home, you get the benefit of high ceilings, dado and picture rails as well as the striking red brick exterior. This home has been extended at the rear to create an excellent double aspect kitchen diner which is understandably the hub of the home. Remodelled this year, we really like the fresh look that flows throughout this room. There is ample work prep space and careful thought at the planning stage was given to the layout to ensure the kitchen space is maximised and works well, demonstrated by the fact that the sink is located close by the five ring gas hob and the storage units. There are two single NEFF ovens and an integrated dishwasher and space for full height fridge freezer. There is also a wine cooler and a pull out larder. The finishing touches are the bi-fold doors which lead to the garden and the lantern style roof which allow the light to flood in. Elsewhere on the ground floor, the space works really well. The sitting room is located to the front, the double glazed bay taking full advantage of the favoured southerly aspect. The open chimney has been swept and cleared ready for a wood burner to be installed or for an open fire. There is also that all important second reception room, currently used as a playroom which leads into the kitchen. The ground floor is completed by a cloakroom, located under the turning staircase. We also really like the layout of the first floor, with bedrooms two and three located at the rear whilst the main bedroom is situated to the front. The bathroom has also been remodelled to create a slick stylish room with a separate walk in shower in addition to the bath, wc and hand basin.

The bi-folds lead perfectly out to the rear garden where there is a patio that leads to a lawned garden with a contemporary raised flower bed border with lighting. The shed at the rear is a great storage spot and also has the added benefit of lighting and a phone line. There is side access from the front via a gate, with the added benefit of off road parking for two cars to the front.

LOCATION One of the excellent benefits of this home is the central location that Queens Road occupies. Perfect for those that commute, Haywards Heath station can be found at the top of Queens Road and across the roundabout where published train times to London Bridge and Victoria are approximately 50 minutes, whilst Brighton is around 20 minutes to the south. For those families looking for local schools, the highly regarded Blackthorns Primary Academy is within catchment, as is Oathall Community College both of which are within walking distance. Located next door to Blackthorns is Lindfield Primary Academy where you can find Pioneer childcare, which has a breakfast club from 7 am and an after school club until 6:30 pm. 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.
