5 bedroom detached house

DESCRIPTIONA contemporary style detached 5 bedroom family house, set back off the Borde Hill Lane, standing in a plot of over a third of an acre. The house was probably built in the early 1960's within the grounds of the property next-door. The original design was extended about 18 years ago. The house is located just outside Haywards Heath among a few other dwellings on the east side of the road and approached through double gates, broadly hidden from the highway. A driveway sweeps around the front of the house and the integral garage. A recessed storm porch leads through the front door to a sizeable hall which in turns opens to the dining room, kitchen and inner hall area with its stairs to the first floor. A WC is located off the hall area. The kitchen is a fabulous open plan room with views and access to the rear garden and decking via double doors. The modern stylish units are covered in a white composite marble work top and provide ample storage with a range dual fuel cooker. The dining area is set against picture windows overlooking the front gardens. A useful utility room with space and plumbing for washer and dryer leads to the personnel door into the back of the garage. The sitting room is double aspect with a cheery wood-burning stove as the centre piece and this room is open to the inner hall with the stairs and a door to the study / family room. Upstairs the master bedroom has its own ensuite shower room plus a walk in wardrobe area, there are 4 further bedrooms and a large bath/shower room. The house requires updating and repairing in some areas but essentially offers a spacious family house in a popular and sought after part of the town with stunning views over adjoining countryside. The property is protected by a greenery screen at the roadside. The front gardens are deep and are suited for the storage of boats / caravans etc. The garage has a sliding door at the front. The rear gardens commence with an area of decking outside the kitchen which leads down to the lawns extending about 50 metres from the back of the house. There is a former swimming pool that has been decommissioned and covered with a shed to create a sizeable workshop area. In addition there are two further sheds and a child's play platform. The property has gas fired central heating from a modern gas boiler, there is double glazing and a recently replaced private drainage system. LOCATIONThe property is situated along the Borde Hill Lane on the north western side of Haywards Heath about 1.6 miles from Haywards Heath Station, Waitrose and Sainsbury's supermarkets. The town centre shopping, restaurants and busy main street is a further mile offering a full range of banking, post office, and branded stores. The A23/M23 at Crawley is about 10 minutes drive with Gatwick airport about 12 miles. The Borde Hill estate with its gardens open to the public, cafe and children's play area is just along the road. There are good schools locally including Harlands Primary school and Oathall College.
