2 bedroom flat for sale

A well-proportioned first floor apartment within the prestigious Grade II listed Southdowns Park development, offered vacant and chain free and boasting spectacular views of the South Downs.

The Apartment... - A superb opportunity to acquire a well-proportioned first floor apartment within the prestigious, award-winning Grade II listed Southdowns Park development in Haywards Heath, offered to the market vacant and with no onward chain. This landmark Victorian building forms part of a highly sought-after community set within beautifully landscaped gardens, complete with a central water fountain and striking period architecture.

Southdowns Park offers a unique lifestyle within a secure and exceptionally well-maintained setting. Residents benefit from allocated parking, a resident site manager, concierge-style services, private members’ gym, communal green spaces, and access to tennis courts and a swimming pool (for a nominal charge). The location is equally compelling — within easy reach of Haywards Heath town centre, the mainline station providing excellent links to London and Brighton, the hospital, and the surrounding Sussex countryside.

The apartment itself is well presented, while retaining the proportions and character you would expect, notably the generous ceiling heights and elegant sash windows that flood the rooms with natural light. Most principal rooms enjoy far-reaching views towards the South Downs, creating a wonderful sense of space and outlook.

Accessed via a secure entry system and well-kept communal hallway, the property opens into a welcoming entrance hall with useful storage. The kitchen is fitted with a range of white wall and base units, built-in oven and induction hob with extractor above, plumbing for washing machine and dishwasher, and a stainless steel sink positioned beneath a large sash window. The reception room is a bright, well-balanced space with high ceilings and large sash windows framing views towards the Downs, comfortably accommodating both sitting and dining areas. Bedroom one is a generous double with built-in wardrobes, while bedroom two is another genuine double enjoying views across the tennis courts and beyond. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising panelled bath with shower over, wash hand basin and low level WC.

An elegant, well-positioned apartment combining character, convenience and lifestyle appeal, vacant and ready to move straight into.
