Slugwash Lane, Wivelsfield Green

DESCRIPTION **Guide Price £525,000 – £550,000** This is an excellent family home, full or charm and character and has been meticulously cared for by our clients. Located on Slugwash Lane, the rural position is perfect for anyone seeking that peaceful location, but with the benefit of an easy drive into Lindfield, Wivelsfield Green or Haywards Heath. Internally there is plenty for a buyer to get excited about. We particularly like the sitting room, which overlooks the rear garden. There is also a view to the front and a striking brick fireplace that perfectly houses the wood burner. An extension to the rear now provides a superb family room – currently used as a playroom, with French doors to the rear garden and an orangery style roof which allows the sunlight to flood in. An opening then takes you through to the dining area and then into the kitchen, which overlooks the front garden. The kitchen features granite work surfaces which provide ample prep space and also a breakfast bar. There is a built in oven and microwave, induction hob, integrated fridge freezer and a wine cooler. The space has been designed to incorporate a utility area, which is believed to be where the original entrance into the property was when it was built around 1900. The charm of this is preserved by the window that overlooks the front. Within the utility area there is space for a washing machine and is also where the boiler is located. Other features we are really taken with is the traditional half tile hung exterior as you approach the front door. The blend internally is a mixture of character with a modern finish. The oak floor in the entrance hall and dining area works really well with the comfort of the carpet in the family room. The ground floor space is completed by a cloakroom which has an attractive vanity unit with circular basin on a marble base with cabinets under and storage to the side which is the perfect spot for jackets and boots.

On the first floor are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom one is located to the front whilst two and three overlook the rear garden. All of the bedrooms have built in wardrobes. The bathroom has been remodelled to an excellent finish. A walk in shower is separate to the bath, whilst the circular basin combines the charm and the modern touch together. The rear garden is immaculately presented, with paving from the family room across the width and a side gate that takes you to the front of the property. The lawn area leads to three sheds, the largest with power and lighting. There is also a play area next to the sheds. To the front, the garage has been transformed into an excellent gym to the rear and storage to the front. The gym has power and lighting and should a buyer wish to reinstate the garage, it would be quite simple to do. The drive comfortably accommodates two cars, side by side, with the option of a third across the rear.
