The Home... - This detached family home sits in the prestigious “Lucastes” area of western Haywards Heath - one of the most desirable locations in Haywards Heath due to its close proximity to the station, excellent schools, town centre and open countryside.

Whilst being well-presented, the home sits on a 0.23 acre plot and offers immense potential for a substantial extension to the side and to the rear to create an exceptional home in a prime location. Any works are, of course, subject to necessary consents.

The house was built in the 1950s and in its current form extends to just over 1,500 sq ft (inc garage). Upon entry you’re welcomed by the central hallway with beautiful herringbone parquet flooring that pays homage to the age of the home.

There are two generous reception rooms that interconnect via double doors to create a fabulous through space that is ideal for entertaining. The sitting room is dual aspect with lovely exposed wooden floors and a fireplace that creates a natural focal point. The dining room is also dual aspect, has herringbone wood flooring and French doors that open out to the garden. This room sits adjacent to the kitchen giving the option to knock-through to create that large open plan kitchen/dining/family room so many of us desire.

The kitchen itself is a good size with plenty of space for a round table & chairs. There is classic shaker-style cabinetry, space for all necessary appliances and a breakfast bar. French doors open out to the garden too.

Handily, there is also a ground floor shower room.

On the first floor each of the three bedrooms is a good size double and each has fitted wardrobe space. They are all served by the family bathroom with white suite, modern tiling and large heated towel rail.

The home has been previously let so an incoming buyer will have the assurance that there is a recent gas safety certificate and EICR (electrical installation condition report). For those who work from home you have access to an Ultrafast broadband connection with up to 8,000 mbps download. The house is also fully double glazed and has an EPC rating of C, potentially a B. The large loft space is also ripe for conversion.

Offered for sale with no onward chain, this is a genuinely exciting opportunity for a savvy buyer looking to create their dream home in a delightful part of town.

Step Outside... - In its entirety, the house sits on a 0.23 acre plot. The long rear garden is a great size with a wealth of established trees, plants and shrubs. The large paved terrace that sits immediately adjacent to the house is ideal for barbecues with friends & family. Steps lead up to expanses of lawn that are great for children to play.

To the front, the house sits proudly in an elevated position. There is a block paved driveway that offers parking for several cars and leads to the attached single garage.

Where Are We? - Lucastes Lane is one of the most prestigious addresses in Haywards Heath lying within the sought-after and established 'Lucastes' area of Haywards Heath, ideally located for the mainline train station with its fast and regular commuter services to London (approx. 47 minutes to London Bridge/Victoria), Brighton (approx. 20 minutes) and Gatwick International Airport.

The town centre is just a short stroll and boasts an array of shops including The Orchards Shopping Centre with a Marks & Spencers and the excellent Hart Country Stores farm shop/delicatessen. The town has two superstores in the form of Waitrose and Sainsburys and both are within walking distance. If you want to walk the dog you have the 29 hectare Blunts Wood & Paiges Meadow nature reserve a half-mile on foot via a nearby footpath that provides a cut through to Blunts Wood Road.



There are several highly regarded schools nearby and the house falls into the catchment area for the highly respected Harlands Primary School and Warden Park secondary in neighbouring Cuckfield. For Sixth Form, Haywards Heath College is a short walk off Harlands Road. In the private sector, there is an array of choice including Ardingly College, Hurstpierpoint College, Cumnor House, Great Walstead Preparatory and Handcross Park School.

Surrounding areas can be easily accessed via the A272 and A23(M), with the latter lying five miles west at Bolney/Warninglid. Further afield is the cosmopolitan city of Brighton and Hove (17 miles) with the world famous 'Lanes' for shopping, Palace Pier and seafront. For walkers, South Downs National Park is also within easy reach by car.
