Welcome Home...

Enjoying a peaceful position in the heart of the prestigious Lucastes area on the favoured west side Haywards Heath, this fabulous detached family home sits on a delightful 0.15 acre plot and offers a layout and internal space that is perfect for family living and is ideally located for Haywards Heath’s mainline station, the highly regarded Harlands and Warden Park schools and open countryside.

The home was originally built in the 1960s and has been substantially extended in the past with further potential to enlarge, if required (STPP) by extending to the rear and/or into the loft.

Upon entry you are welcomed by a large central hallway. There are two incredibly versatile rooms either side of the hall. One is currently used as study, perfect for those who work from home. The other could be used as a sitting room or family room for the children.

It is across the rear where this home really comes into its own with a superb open plan kitchen/dining/living room that is the heart of the home. At over 32ft, this is a brilliant space for the family to gather and for entertaining friends. French doors open on the large terrace, great for ‘inside-outside’ living, particularly in the summer and the conservatory provides useful extra living space and central heating meaning it is a usable space all year round. The L-shape of the room means your sitting area is nicely tucked around the corner and the stone fire hearth provides a lovely focal point.

The kitchen itself is a brilliant size with lots of storage and prep space. The granite worktops add a touch of opulence and the peninsula breakfast bar is great for the kids in the morning. There is a useful utility that provides extra storage and allows you to hides away the washing machine and tumble dryer. The gas fired boiler is also in the utility.

The second, third and fourth bedrooms are served by the family bathroom with overhead power shower. There is also a useful separate cloakroom. If further bedroom space is ever required, you have large loft that is ripe for conversion (STPP).
