Lucastes Lane, Haywards Heath, RH16

In an elevated position amongst the trees, this detached family home enjoys a peaceful setting on this ever-popular residential road. The house is set back from the road in an elevated position enjoying pleasant views to the front and rear. The house was built circa 1950s and retains much of its original character, including parquet wood and tiled floors, though it has been extended to create a generous living area and there is scope to extend further if desired (subject to obtaining the necessary consents). The largely modern interiors are well presented and there is excellent potential for personalisation inside and out. The layout, which is spacious and promotes fabulous natural light, is well suited to families and offers an inviting flow throughout the reception spaces, with room for both entertaining and relaxing as a family.
The house is well proportioned offering 2100 sq ft of space over two floors, and comprises a welcoming entrance hall, a dinig room(currently used as drawing room), sitting room to the rear, an open plan kitchen and breakfast room and a cloakroom with WC. The utility room connects the kitchen to the integral single garage and provides ample space for laundry machines. Upstairs there are four good-size double bedrooms including an impressive principal bedroom with en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom.

Outside

The gardens are a highlight of the home, with ample space to the front and rear making the plot feel extremely spacious. The front garden elevates the house above the road level, with a flight of steps leading up through a lawn to the front door – there are a number of shrub borders creating an attractive focal point and excellent kerb appeal. A paved driveway to the side of the house offers ample off-street parking and access to the single garage. The rear garden is also a good size, with mature hedges to either side and trees to the rear providing a high degree of privacy, with the space getting sun for much of the day and into the evening. A terrace adjoining the house is perfect for alfresco entertaining, while the good-size lawn offers a host of possibilities for games, children’s play areas or dogs to run free.
