Welcome Home... - Welcome to Police House – a substantial detached home sitting on a sensational 0.5 acre plot with glorious views over undulating Sussex countryside and the most spectacular sunsets due to its westerly aspect.

The home’s name comes from a previous owner who was the village policeman and offers spacious accommodation and immense scope for sizable extension to the rear and/or over the garage, subject to any necessary consents.

As it stands, you are welcomed by a generous central hallway which sets the tone for what lies beyond. The main living space is L-shaped with clear area for both sitting and dining. The sitting room extends to 23ft and is an inviting space with bay window (complete with window seat) and a log burning stove - perfect for a chilly winter’s evening in front of the fire. There are two sets of French doors that open out to the garden and make the most the of delightful outlook over the garden.

The dining area sits adjacent to the kitchen and there is potential to knock through to create a more open plan entertaining space, if preferred.

The family room offers a separate, versatile room that offers plenty of options as a snug, home office, play room or ground floor bedroom.

The kitchen enjoys quality granite counters and a breakfast bar that is handy for a morning coffee. There are French doors that open on to the garden too creating another connection with the garden – great during the summer months. There is an integrated fridge, dishwasher, oven and hob.

Off the kitchen is the utility room, again with a door onto the garden which is extremely handy after a muddy dog walk through the fields. There is also a door that leads into the integral double garage, which is ripe for conversion.

There is also an essential ground floor cloakroom.

A turned staircase rises to the first floor where you’ll find three good size double bedrooms. The main bedroom is a fabulous area running from front-to-back with large ensuite and a balcony with the most spectacular open vista.

The second and third bedrooms both enjoy rural views and fitted wardrobes. They are served by the generously sized family bathroom with a modern spec and separate bath/shower.

The home is fully double glazed, has oil fired central heating and there is access to a superfast broadband connection for those who work from home or like to stream.

Scope/Potential... - Given the size of the plot there is immense scope to extend to the rear. You could also convert the garage and/or extend over to enlarge the first floor. The large loft space is also ripe for conversion. Any work is of course subject to planning permission.

Outside Oasis... - Outside the home really comes into its own, sitting on an exceptional west facing plot that extends to half an acre and backs on to Birch Grove Estate to provide the most delightful open rural outlook.

Being west facing means that the garden is both bathed in sunshine throughout the afternoon and into the evening and you get to enjoy the most spectacular sunsets.
The paved terrace sits adjacent to the house and is the perfect spot for ‘al-fresco’ dining with friends and family, whilst the large expanse of level lawn is perfect for children to play.

There is gated side access that leads to the front where you have driveway parking for several cars.

Out & About... - Danehill is a rural village situated in the heart of the Sussex Weald, approximately seven miles from Haywards Heath (the 270 bus service runs from Danehill to Haywards Heath Station every hour), eight miles from East Grinstead and just five miles to Forest Row where you'll find a great selection of amenities. The village is surrounded by glorious open countryside, ideal for dog walking and exploring. Ashdown Forest is just two miles distant and provides riding tracks. Danehill Primary School is extremely highly regarded and the village is also home to the respected Cumnor House in the private sector.

The home is within walking distance (country walks) of a great selection of pubs including the Coach & Horses, Red Lion in Chelwood Gate, The Crown Inn and Green Man in Horsted Keynes. The famous Bluebelll Steam Railway is nearby at Sheffield Park and is 'one of the best family days out in Sussex'. More extensive facilities are available in the nearby Haywards Heath including two superstores (Waitrose and Sainsburys), leisure centre and the mainline station which provides fast and regular commuter services to London (under 47 mins to Victoria/London Bridge), Brighton and Gatwick Airport.
