Description

This property, known as 'Greenfields', offers a significant investment opportunity for those looking to modernize a spacious home set on a generous south-facing plot. Constructed in the 1930s with mock Tudor architectural style, the house has remained off the market since 1978 and features an existing ground floor extension that adds valuable space. Additionally, the extensive loft area provides further potential for expansion, especially with the presence of an attic window installed for natural light. Located in a desirable part of town along Folders Lane and surrounded by other high-quality residences, this property is close to Ditchling Common Nature Reserve, Birchwood Grove Primary School, Burgess Hill Girls School, and just under a mile from the town centre. The accommodation consists of a welcoming covered porch leading to an entrance hall with stairs upward and a convenient cloakroom. The living room enjoys triple aspects and opens directly to the garden through sliding doors, while the dual aspect dining room features a fireplace that could be refurbished to enhance its charm. The kitchen/breakfast area includes a functional layout with fitted white cupboards and essential appliances, alongside a separate utility room. Upstairs contains three bedrooms; the master benefits from garden views and an ensuite shower room, while one of the additional bedrooms includes walk-in wardrobe space or potential for an ensuite conversion. A family bathroom completes this level. Outside, there is ample parking available via a pebblestone drive leading to a double garage equipped with an electric door. The expansive rear garden measures approximately 120' x 66', mainly laid to lawn and featuring a patio area complete with water feature and pond—ideal for aspiring gardeners or those wanting outdoor leisure space. Mature trees offer privacy around this serene setting. With all mains services installed including gas central heating (with a new Worcester boiler fitted in 2023), this home presents endless possibilities for renovation and personalization.
