An ultra-modern and exceptional 4/5 bedroom detached residence, originally dating from the late 1960s, occupying a generous 0.24-acre plot within the highly desirable Penland Road area on the northern edge of Haywards Heath.

Perfectly positioned, the property is within a comfortable 15-minute walk of the mainline railway station and approximately 20 minutes from the town centre, combining convenience with an exclusive residential setting.

Acquired in 2014, the current owners have comprehensively extended and refurbished the property in 2015 to an exacting standard, creating a sophisticated and versatile family home. The accommodation offers 4 well-proportioned double bedrooms (including a principal suite with en-suite) and a flexible ground floor TV room/bedroom 5 with its own en-suite. Additional living spaces include a separate reception room, study, utility room and an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area with bifold doors out to the garden.

A standout feature is the detached double garage with a self-contained annexe above, finished to a high specification. The garage itself benefits from bespoke integrated storage, a sink with hot water supply, Wi-Fi connectivity, electric vehicle charging point, and a fully tiled floor. The annexe provides excellent ancillary accommodation, including a stylishly finished shower room, compact kitchen, and a combined living/sleeping area with fitted wardrobes (perfect for guests, independent living, or rental/Air BnB income potential).

The property is approached via a private driveway offering ample parking for multiple vehicles. To the rear, the beautifully maintained south-facing garden enjoys excellent sunlight throughout the day and is bordered by mature trees, affording a high degree of privacy. A generous patio terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining, complemented by a practical garden shed.

Recent enhancements include the installation of a new ‘A’-rated gas boiler, full internal redecoration, professional tree works, roof and driveway cleaning, and extensive relaying of the rear patio, ensuring the property is presented in turnkey condition.

The property also benefits from 14 solar panels, generating approximately 6kW. They were installed as part of the 2015 refurbishment, with around 14 years remaining on the current tariff agreement (registered at 12p per KWH). Depending on sunshine levels, the system typically generates an annual income of between £800 and £900 from Eon.

Location Summary

Penland Road runs between Harlands Road and the Balcombe Road on the northern side of town and is regarded as one of the most sought after districts due to its close proximity to Harlands Primary School and the railway station. Children from this side of town fall into the catchment area for Warden Park Secondary Academy in neighbouring Cuckfield which can be accessed on foot via Blunts Wood. The Blunts Wood and Paige's Meadow nature reserve provides some wonderful walks. The railway station provides fast commuter services to London, Gatwick Airport and Brighton. Other close by facilities include a 6th form college, leisure centre, Sainsbury's superstore, Waitrose and selection of shops and food outlets by the railway station. The town centre is just over 1 mile distant where there is a more extensive range of shops and stores whilst the trendy Broadway has a selection of restaurants, cafes and bars. Access to the major surrounding areas can be swiftly gained via the Balcombe Road, Hanlye Lane and the A/M23 which lies about 6 miles to the west at Warninglid or 8 miles to the north at Maidenbower (Junction 10A)
