An impressive 5 bedroom Edwardian family home occupying a corner plot within a 0.5 mile walk of the railway station and forms part of the Lucastes Conservation Area on the western side of Haywards Heath.

The house is believed to have been built around 1907 and the previous owners extended the house to create the double garage and utility room in around 2007. The current owners have been in residence since 2017 and have cared well for the property, which is presented for sale in very clean and neutral order throughout whilst still retaining a wealth of character features. They have replaced the majority of the windows and have had plans drawn up to replace the conservatory with a traditional style extension with a view to making that into the new kitchen. There are several possibilities for reconfiguring the accommodation if required and even potential to extend above the garage and utility room if required STPP.

On the ground floor, the accommodation comprises 3 grand reception rooms all with a character of their own and fireplaces, a conservatory, a family sized kitchen/breakfast room with an internal door and stairs down to a substantial utility/boot room, a cloakroom and further internal door into the large double garage.

On the first floor, there are 3 substantial bedrooms, one having a re-fitted en-suite shower room, and a separate re-fitted family bathroom whilst on the top floor there are 2 further double sized bedrooms and a 3rd bathroom.

The entire plot extends to 0.4 acres and surrounds the property on all sides and faces south to the rear with various areas of lawn, stocked beds and borders and all enclosed by high mature hedging.
