Description

This detached four-bedroom home is nestled in a desirable location that backs directly onto Clair Park, offering a unique blend of character and potential. While the property retains much of its original charm—featuring large bay windows, picture rails, and period fireplaces—it presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and personalisation. Spanning over 2,000 square feet across two levels, the interior boasts several spacious reception rooms, including a dual-aspect sitting room and an adjoining office that could serve multiple purposes, from a playroom to a study. The layout includes a sizable dining room connected to a garden room, providing ample opportunities for reconfiguration to maximise enjoyment of the serene garden views. The kitchen is complemented by a generous utility area and a convenient downstairs toilet, addressing practical living needs. Upstairs, the four well-proportioned bedrooms are all capable of accommodating king-size or double beds and share a family bathroom. This space offers flexibility for updates or extensions—subject to necessary consents—that could enhance functionality while increasing property value. Outside, the garden presents an inviting retreat with mature landscaping that ensures privacy. It features multiple seating areas alongside a gated swimming pool—a rare find that enhances outdoor leisure options. The attached carport provides additional convenience for parking, accessible via a shared gated driveway. Location is another significant advantage of this property. Situated within a conservation area just half a mile from Haywards Heath station—offering swift services to London—as well as being close to local supermarkets like Waitrose and Sainsbury's. The proximity to trusted schools like Great Walstead and Ardingly adds further appeal for families seeking educational opportunities. In terms of recreational activities, residents can enjoy nearby golf clubs, sailing at Ardingly Reservoirs, and scenic walking trails within the South Downs and Ashdown Forest. This combination of character features and investment potential makes this property an intriguing prospect for buyers looking to create their ideal home in an enviable location.
