Appledore Gardens, Lindfield, West Sussex

DESCRIPTION This is an excellent family home, located on the popular residential road of Appledore Gardens. There are so many features that will appeal to a buyer and we think the stand out feature is the stunning re-modeled kitchen which was extended in 2016. This double aspect room is clearly the hub of the home and is a great entertaining space. You’ll find ample granite work surface prep area as well as a central island, complete with soft closing cupboards and drawers. The high level finish to the cupboards perfectly complement the granite in addition to the range master oven and hob with 5 gas rings as well as a built in dishwasher. We think the utility room is an important room too, with such an open plan kitchen it is great to have the washing machine and tumble dryer tucked away in a separate area. Next to the utility room is the downstairs w/c. The kitchen flows into the dining area and there are bi-fold doors leading outside to the west facing garden. Elsewhere on the ground floor the space works really well, a large sitting room is complete with a log burner. To the front of the home is the adaptable fourth bedroom/playroom. This is a great space for children to use as a play are, or if required as a fourth bedroom.

On the first floor, the master bedroom is a great size, complete with built in wardrobes and a beautifully finished en-suite. Bedrooms two and three are both spacious doubles and work well, whilst the family bathroom is finished to a high standard, similar to the en-suite.

Outside there is a well designed south facing garden benefiting from sunlight all day, our clients have created a great entertaining space on the patio area and have recently landscaped the garden in 2018. To the side there is access to the garage which has had a new roof put on earlier this year and also the garage door at the same time.

There is off street parking in the form of a driveway in front of the garage and plenty of available on street parking on Appledore Gardens if you have guests over.

LOCATION The position of Appledore Gardens is fantastic. Turn right out of the road and a short walk takes you to the common and then passed the pond and into the centre of the village, or turn left towards Haywards Heath mainline station in the other direction. The bustling High Street is the centre point of a thriving community with a wide range of independent shops to choose from. There are also plenty of great places to eat in Lindfield; we recommend either the Witch Inn or The Bent Arms if you are looking for that perfect pub lunch. For an evening meal you can’t go wrong at the Limes Restaurant, Paolino’s Italian or Tamasha curry house. Lindfield Coffee Works, tucked away on Alma Road off the High Street is proving to be a big hit and our go to place for coffee. Stroll to Lindfield Common and you can 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 Friday evening at the top of the common, you can’t beat the Fish & Chip van!
