About this property
Occupying a peaceful semi-rural position on the outskirts of Haywards Heath, Green Lea is an impressive detached family home extending to over 5000 sq ft, set within 1.8 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and surrounded by fields with far-reaching views across the Sussex countryside.
This home offers exceptionally versatile accommodation, including six bedrooms, a self-contained annexe and a range of useful outbuildings, while remaining within easy reach of local amenities, schools and excellent transport links.
A spacious reception hall provides a welcoming first impression, featuring a galleried landing and double-height ceiling. From here, double doors open into the formal dining room, which benefits from bi-fold doors opening onto the south-facing front garden. The dining room connects to the drawing room, a bright and elegant space centred around a wood-burning stove and enjoying views over the gardens through full-height windows and French doors.
To the rear of the house is a generous family room and the impressive 40ft kitchen/breakfast room, which forms the heart of the home. Installed approximately seven years ago, the bespoke handcrafted smallbone kitchen features handcrafted cabinetry, a large central island with breakfast bar, integrated appliances and ample storage. A lantern rooflight and extensive glazing fill the breakfast area with natural light, while French doors provide direct access to the gardens and terrace, making it an ideal space for both everyday family life and entertaining.
On the first floor are five well-proportioned double bedrooms, one of which is currently arranged as a cinema room. The principal suite enjoys access to a private south-facing balcony, together with a dressing room and en suite bathroom. A study adjoins the principal bedroom and could equally serve as a nursery, dressing room or additional bedroom if required. There is also a further en suite bedroom and a family bathroom on this floor. An additional double bedroom is located on the second floor.
The self-contained annexe is connected to the main house via an internal door and provides excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, guests or staff accommodation. It comprises an open-plan sitting room and kitchen, double bedroom, dressing room and en suite shower room.
The house benefits from underfloor heating throughout, a pressurised water system and a fully integrated sound system operating throughout the principal rooms and extending into the outdoor entertaining areas.
Outside
The property is approached via a sweeping driveway with a central water feature, providing extensive parking and access to the detached three-car garage.
The gardens have been carefully landscaped and include large areas of lawn, mature trees, established planting and a variety of seating areas positioned to enjoy the surrounding views. A heated outdoor swimming pool and pool house create an excellent entertaining space, with the pool house incorporating a bar area and direct access to the terrace.
Further outbuildings include a barn, storage shed and a safari-style breeze house, offering additional outdoor seating and dining space.

Wivelsfield station is within approximately 1.2 miles and local amenities include a convenience store, Post Office and public house. The nearby village of Lindfield offers a popular High Street, independent shops and a strong sense of community.
