Description
Built in the 1960s, 3 Oathall Avenue is a detached family home, ideally located in a tucked away yet central location in Haywards Heath, within easy reach of the town’s many amenities and less than half a mile’s walk of the station. Having been a much-loved family home, the house is coming to the market for the first time in over 40 years and, whilst being well-presented and cared for, presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to put their own stamp on the house, with good scope to update and extend (subject to the necessary consents).
The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with a pleasing layout and well-proportioned rooms; it extends to just over 1,500 square feet, the full extent and layout of which can be seen on the floor plan.
Outside, the house is well set back from Oathall Avenue, is accessed via a driveway which is flanked to one side by an area of lawn edged by deep flower borders. The driveway offers space for several vehicles and leads to both the integral single garage and a carport adjoining the house. There is gated access at both sides of the house to the rear garden, which is mainly laid to neatly-tended level lawn, well-enclosed by mature laurel hedging and fencing, with paved seating areas next to the house, and a timber garden shed.
