The Priory , Haywards Heath

DESCRIPTION Immaculately presented, this is an excellent split level apartment located at The Priory, a beautiful building in the centre of Haywards Heath which dates back to the late 1800’s. One of the few apartments to have the split-level layout and with the added benefit of only three apartments accessing this part of the historic building, there is plenty for a buyer to get excited about. Firstly, the favoured south west aspect of all of the rooms allows ample light to flood in throughout the day. This works perfectly in conjunction with the view of The Chapel opposite.

In the sitting room/kitchen, the vaulted ceiling provides that sense of space, with wood floor complementing the white walls and arched window. There is space for a sofa and a dining table, whilst the vaulted ceiling provides a brilliant storage space accessed via a ladder. In the kitchen, there is ample work surface prep area and the high gloss soft closing cupboards and drawers combine with the glass splashback and integrated appliances, which include an induction hob, electric oven, washing machine and dishwasher. The split level layout takes you to both bedrooms and the bathroom – away from the sitting room and kitchen which is another feature we like. Bedroom one offers a double aspect to the east and west, capturing the morning and afternoon sun, whilst bedroom two overlooks the courtyard and Chapel. The bathroom continues that high specification and slick feel throughout, with a bath with separate shower head in addition to the rainwater shower head. There is a WC, heated towel rail and sink with vanity unit. You’ll also find on the landing a large storage cupboard which also is home to the boiler. The apartment also benefits from low level automatic lighting sensors, video entry system, allocated parking and access to the communal courtyard.
