Welcome To Hillwood House - If the idea of a spacious, modern and low maintenance detached home in one of Mid Sussex’s most desirable villages appeals to you then look no further than Hillwood House in fabulous Cuckfield.

The Heart Of The Home - The heart of the home is the impressive 25ft, dual aspect living room which offers plenty of space for sitting and dining zones. French doors open out to the garden, great for “inside-outside’ living during those summer months. The dining area sits adject to the kitchen, offering fairly straightforward opportunities to knock through to create a more open plan kitchen/dining/family space across the rear.

Open Plan Kitchen - In the current layout the kitchen/breakfast room is stylish and practical. The shaker-style cabinetry is timeless and sit under opulent stone counters whilst there is a range of integrated appliances including induction hob, oven, grill, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and washing machine.

For those who work from home, the separate study is a decent size and provides a useful separate space, neatly tucked off the hall.

There is also the essential ground floor cloakroom and handy understairs cupboard.

Bath & Bed - On the first floor you’ll find three of the five double bedrooms, including the utterly fabulous principle suite which runs the entire depth of the home. This includes a really generous double bedroom area which flows through into the a dressing area and then the superb ensuite with bathtub and separate shower.

The second and third bedrooms are both good size doubles and enjoy fully width fitted wardrobes. These are served by the contemporary first floor family bathroom.

On the second floor there are two further excellent double bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite shower room.

Modern Conveniences - Being a modern home, there are high levels of insulation, high performance double glazing and the home has gas fired central heating. There is also access to an Ultrafast fibre broadband connection – perfect for home workers or for those who like to stream.

Step Outside - Stepping outside, you enter a delightful west facing garden which offers privacy, seclusion and plenty of afternoon/evening sunshine. The paved terrace is the perfect spot for al-fresco dining or a barbecue. There is a large expanse of level lawn and the partly-walled garden is bordered by pretty planting that adds texture and pops of colour.

There is gated side and rear access, with the latter leading out to the driveway parking for two cars and the detached double garage with power & lighting. There is also direct access from the garden meaning there are opportunities to convert into a garden studio, gym or home office if preferred.

Opportunities to acquire spacious, modern homes such as this are rarely available in Cuckfield so this is an opening you won’t want to miss.
