3 bedroom house

Hedgerows is a detached house of character built about 70 years ago set in delightful grounds extending to just over 1 acre. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a detached home with excellent potential for a substantial extension (subject to obtaining the usual planning consents) ideal for those who wish to create and design a home to their own specification. The house has the benefit of oil central heating and double glazing and incorporates 3 good size bedrooms, a spacious bathroom, 2 fine reception rooms, downstairs cloakroom and a kitchen/breakfast room. The grounds enjoy a favoured south easterly aspect and extend to 1.088 acres arranged mainly as lawns interspersed with a variety of trees with a dog kennel/store. There is a detached garage approached by a wide gravel drive and forecourt offering parking for 5/6 vehicles.

Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac in this established edge of village location lying close to the A23 which provides direct access to the motorway network, Gatwick Airport (13 miles), Brighton (16 miles) and the south coast. Haywards Heath lies 5 miles to the east and Horsham 8.4 miles to the north west both of which offer a wide range of shops, an array of restaurants, leisure facilities, several good schools and colleges and a mainline station (Haywards Heath to London Victoria/London Bridge 42-45 minutes). There are several footpaths in the vicinity and the South Downs is within a short drive offering a beautiful natural venue for countryside walking.
