Finches Gardens, Lindfield, RH16

Overview. Guide Price £450,000-£475,000. This is a great home which could appeal to many, whether you are looking to get yourselves onto the housing market for the first time, moving up the property ladder or perhaps even looking to downsize. The location is brilliant; tucked away in a sought after residential road within the village.

There is great potential to modernise and add your own style. Indeed, plenty of other homes along Finches Gardens have been extended over the last few years, with this home being one of the few with a large garden. We really like the fact the sitting room leads you out to the garden, whilst to the front is the kitchen and shower room, which has been a later addition to the home.

Another feature of the homes at Finches Gardens are the good size bedrooms – all are doubles and the third bedroom is not the typical single room you see in so many homes. Bedroom one is located to the front, as is the bathroom, whilst bedrooms two and three overlook the rear garden. To the rear the garden is a big feature of this home. There is a patio area immediately from the sitting room and a lawn garden which has a shed at the far end. Behind the garden is a garage.

Property Tenure: Freehold
Council Tax Band: D

Location. The sought after position of Finches Gardens is excellent. The friendly community in the tucked away position off Hickmans Lane gives you the peace and quiet you would like from village life, with the bonus of a short walk into the village for everything you need in one direction, or 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 too; we recommend 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 or Paolino’s Italian. 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. 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 one mile, as is Oathall Community College.
