West Common Drive, Lindfield

DESCRIPTION In need of some modernisation, we think this spacious home has plenty of potential for a busy family. Located on one of the key desirable roads within the village, it is a great opportunity for a buyer to occupy a home that has been lovingly looked after over the past 20 years. There is some much about this home we love and believe that buyers will be as equally as excited.

From the front there is the entrance hallway with a downstairs w/c and great storage. The large double aspect sitting room overlooks the front and flows through into the dining room at the rear. Off the dining room there is access into both the kitchen and the conservatory. Depending on the needs a buyer, the space could be utilised to create a large kitchen and family room and potentially an extension. We like how the kitchen overlooks the garden which is a good size and benefits from plenty of daylight sun. The ground floor is completed by a utility room and garage with internal and external access, we think if buyers want to create even more family space this is ideal to covert to another downstairs room.

The first floor provides an equal amount of potential. The master suite is an excellent size, located directly above the sitting room and is double aspect, with the benefit of an en-suite. Elsewhere on the first floor you’ll find the bathroom and bedrooms two, three and four. Bedroom two overlooks the garden, whilst bedroom three provides excellent storage. For those buyers where working from home is going to be a key feature in the coming months and years, bedroom four could make the perfect office. However, there is also the possibility of utilising the existing summerhouse in the garden.

Outside, the rear garden is landscaped beautifully and a lovely place to relax, the garden benefits from fantastic sun all day and due to the size of the garden, you pick up the evening sun as it sets. To the front, there is ample off road parking in addition to the street parking of West Common Drive, as well as access into the garage.

LOCATION Equally as impressive as the home is the location of West Common Drive. Perfect for commuters, you can be at Haywards Heath station within an approximate fifteen minute walk where published train times to London Bridge and Victoria are approximately 50 minutes, whilst Brighton is around 20 minutes to the south. Turn right from your front door onto West Common and head towards the centre of the village and you’ll soon be at the Common and the pond. 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; 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 curry house. Lindfield Coffee Works, tucked away on Alma Road off the High Street is a big hit, as is Slake and both are our go to places for coffee. At the Common you can 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 walking distance, (Blackthorns rated as Outstanding by Ofsted, Lindfield as Good) 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.
