Sunte Close, Haywards Heath, RH16

*Guide Price £600,000-£650,000. VACANT

Overview. Set on one of our favourite roads close to Haywards Heath station, this is an excellent family home with further potential to extend. Extended on the ground floor at the rear, the space works really well, though it is expected that a buyer may wish to reconfigure the layout to suit modern day living. Currently, you’ll find a large sitting room to the front with a dining area to the back. The original kitchen has been extended to create a breakfast area with French doors that take you to the garden whilst the ground floor space is completed by a cloakroom.

On the first floor, bedrooms one and the 4th bedroom/office are located to the front. Bedroom one has built in wardrobes and a bay to the front, whilst the office is in our opinion the perfect set up to work from home. Bedroom two is to the rear, as is the large bathroom, with its separate shower cubicle as well as a bath. The loft conversion provides that large third bedroom, the views over the gardens and towards Haywards Heath station at the rear, whilst to the front, easterly along Sunte Close.

Outside, the garden is a real feature of this home. There is hard standing immediately from the French doors in the kitchen and also side access, with steps that lead to the beautifully kept west facing lawned garden. The summerhouse at the end of the garden is the perfect spot to relax in whilst the garage provides additional storage and two doors for access. To the front is a pretty lawned garden and parking.

The Council Tax band is E and the property tenure is freehold.
