Overview. For anyone that is searching for that large family home with an abundance of character and great flexibility, this could be the perfect choice. There is so much we love about this home and plenty of key features on hand as soon as you walk through the front door. Off the entrance hall is a good size dining room which overlooks the garden. This room takes you into the kitchen and works really well for entertaining guests. The kitchen is a great room with ample work surface prep space. Re-modelled in 2013 and still in excellent condition, you’ll find built in appliances, plenty of storage and french doors that lead you to the garden. Elsewhere on the ground floor, there is a sitting room to the front – we really like the bay window and fire place which enhances the character of the ground floor. There is also a cloakroom which is located off the entrance hall. On the first floor, the boutique style main bedroom is located to the front. The built in wardrobes provide that clean finish to the room and we love the specification of the en–suite. Bedrooms two and three are also on this floor, as is the updated bathroom; the combination of the brass and the royal blue work really well together.

On the second floor there are two further rooms which could work differently, depending on the needs of a buyer. Currently they are used as an office and a music room, but could appeal as a fourth bedroom and a games room/tv room. Both bedrooms enjoy elevated views in a north westerly aspect. We particularly like the layout of the accommodation over three floors; this provides flexible living and could be ideal for a growing family. To the rear, the favoured westerly garden is a real suntrap. It is a great size too; not only is it the width of the house but also the drives to the right hand side as you look at the front.  There is plenty of lawn area to enjoy, as well as flower and shrub borders. The decking, which is immediately from the french doors in the kitchen, is a great spot for table and chairs, whilst to the side there is access to the rear of the garage, and also a gate to the front of the property. In front of the garage there is off road parking for two-three cars.

The property tenure is freehold and the council tax band is E.

Location. For those looking for that countryside feel but still within walking distance of the village, Lyoth Lane could be the perfect spot. On your doorstep is The Snowdrop pub, a firm favourite with many in Mid-Sussex and certainly with ramblers, who you can often see up and down Lyoth Lane. Elsewhere in the village there are some great places to eat; we also really like the Witch Inn or The Bent Arms. For an evening meal you can’t go wrong at the Limes Restaurant or Tamasha curry house. Lindfield Coffee Works, tucked away on Alma Road off the High Street is our go to place for coffee, whilst the newly opened The Black Duck. Lindfield Common is a great spot to watch the world go by; cricket at the weekends in the summer or football in the winter. It is also the home of the bowls club. And on a Thursday evening at the top of the common, you can’t beat the Pizza van!

For schools, both highly regarded Blackthorns Primary and Lindfield Primary are within walking distance. Follow Lyoth Lane in a northerly direction and it meets Gravely Lane, whilst a pathway brings you out closer to Lewes Road. You can walk to Lindfield primary school in approximately 20 minutes, so too for Oathall Community College. There are great places to get out and explore from Lindfield, National Trust facilities are located locally at Wakehurst Place and Nymans Gardens, with Sheffield Park less than 15 minutes by road. A short drive takes you to Haywards Heath mainline station where trains to London Bridge and London Victoria are from 47 minutes. Brighton to the south, can be reached in 20 minutes. Brighton can be found 15 miles to the south, whilst a short drive north takes you to Crawley, London Gatwick and the A/M23.
