3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Petworth Drive, Burgess Hill, West Sussex RH15

Bursting with personality and presented with real flair, this three bedroom semi-detached home on Petworth Drive offers approximately 806 sq ft of bright, well-planned living space. It has a generous living room that flows into a separate dining room, a modern kitchen, a stylish refitted shower room and a private rear garden with a sunny patio and lawn. The location is a real draw: A primary school is right on the road, and Wivelsfield station, Leylands Park and Bedelands Farm Nature Reserve are all within easy reach. It’s an ideal first home or family purchase in a popular part of northern Burgess Hill.

You enter the property through the front door into a welcoming entrance hall. It has room for coats and shoes, the staircase rises to the first floor, and there is a useful understairs storage cupboard. A glazed door leads from the hall into the main living space.

The lounge is a wonderfully bright and sociable room. A large window to the front fills it with natural light throughout the day. The focal point is a feature fireplace with a white surround and an inset electric fire, set against a bold accent wall. There is plenty of space for a full suite of sofas and recliners, and a recessed display alcove adds character and a place for treasured pieces. A wide opening leads through to the dining room, so the ground floor feels open and connected while each area keeps its own purpose.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern handleless wall and base units in a soft neutral finish, with wood-effect worktops and a metro-style tiled splashback with a mosaic border. It is dual aspect, with windows to the rear and side plus a glazed door to the garden, so it is light and airy. The sink sits beneath the window, and there is space for a freestanding cooker, plumbing for a washing machine and room for a tall fridge freezer. A track spotlight and a cheerful feature wall finish the room.

Upstairs there is a landing providing access to all three bedrooms and the shower room, and has a useful built-in storage cupboard.

Bedroom 1 is a well-proportioned double bedroom with a stand out green feature wall along with plenty of room for a double bed and freestanding furniture. A wide window floods the room with light and gives a pleasant elevated outlook across the rooftops of Burgess Hill.
The second bedroom is another good-sized double with a built-in wardrobe. It is currently styled with the same striking green feature wall as Bedroom 1 and comfortably fits a double bed, chest of drawers and further storage. A large window gives a lovely sense of space. The third bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and is currently set up as a practical home office, with room for a desk and storage. It would work equally well as a nursery, a child’s bedroom or a guest room. The window brings in plenty of light and offers a pleasant outlook.

The shower room has been stylishly refitted. It has a quadrant shower enclosure with curved glass doors, a thermostatic mixer shower and waterproof wall panels in a contemporary concrete effect. A grey vanity run houses an inset basin with storage below and a WC. The room is finished with part-tiled walls, wood-effect flooring and an obscure glazed window.

The private rear garden is a real highlight. A concrete patio sits directly outside the house and is a perfect spot for outdoor dining, barbecues and morning coffee. A low brick retaining wall with steps leads up to a lawn crossed by stepping stones, bordered by mature shrubs and planting that give a good degree of privacy. A painted timber shed provides garden storage. To the side, a further paved area offers space for bins and outdoor storage, and a gate gives side access. The garden is enclosed by timber fencing.

Petworth Drive is a popular residential road on the northern side of Burgess Hill, well suited to families. Sheddingdean Community Primary School is on Petworth Drive itself, and further schooling is available across the town. Wivelsfield station is within easy reach and offers services towards London, Gatwick and Brighton. For outdoor space, Leylands Park sits nearby with sports pitches and a bike track, and it borders Bedelands Farm Nature Reserve, the largest green space in Burgess Hill, with ancient woodland, wildflower meadows and ponds to explore. Burgess Hill town centre provides a wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, and the A23 gives road access to Brighton, Crawley and beyond.
