The Chestnuts, Lindfield

OVERVIEW This is an excellent opportunity to move into what we believe is a much sought after cul-de-sac perfectly nestled between Haywards Heath station and Lindfield village. Offered to the market for the first time in 40 years, there is a great opportunity to extend and improve the current accommodation, subject to the necessary consent being granted.

As you walk through the front door into the entrance porch, the former garage to the left is now a really useful second reception room, which could work as a fourth bedroom, playroom or perhaps a work from home office – a key feature for many buyers these days. The sitting room enjoys a triple aspect, with windows to the front and side, whilst French doors leads you out to the garden at the rear. The rich colours of the wood block floor provide character and ties in nicely with the arched brick fireplace. The former kitchen is now a dining room, whilst the extension provides a kitchen and access to a utility room (forming part of the previous garage.) Th ground floor accommodation is completed by a WC. On the first floor, bedrooms one and two are located to the front – bedroom two enjoys a double aspect to front and rear, whilst bedroom three and the bathroom are to the rear.

The garden wraps around the rear and side of the house and enjoys a spacious patio area and plenty of lawn, nicely shielded from the neighbouring homes. We believe there is further potential to extend over the kitchen subject to approval, whilst to the front there is a pretty area of lawn with side access and off road parking. There are only eight homes within The Chestnuts and this quiet tucked away location is a real feature within the village.

The property tenure is freehold and the council tax band is F.

LOCATION For many buyers, the cul-de-sac position of The Chestnuts is a real selling point. The combination of a quiet village life and retaining good access to Haywards Heath station works perfectly. Published train times to London Bridge and Victoria are from approximately 44 minutes, whilst Brighton is around 20 minutes.

The bustling High Street is the centre point of a thriving community with a wide range of independent shops to choose from. There are also plenty of great places to eat in Lindfield too; we recommend either the Witch Inn or The Bent Arms if you are looking for that perfect pub lunch. For an evening meal, you can’t go wrong at the Limes Restaurant or Tamasha. 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, as is Slake which you can find opposite the pond. The recently opened Truffles Bakery is a popular addition, whilst 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 Thursday evening at the top of the common, you can’t beat the Pizza van!

For schools, both highly regarded Blackthorns Primary and Lindfield Primary are within easy access, as is 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. Brighton can be found 15 miles to the south, whilst a short drive north takes you to Crawley, London Gatwick and the A/M23.
