Description

Wheelbarrow Farm presents a unique opportunity as a cherished family home available for the first time in nearly three decades. This well-maintained detached house features spacious rooms and stunning countryside views, all situated on a generous plot. The property boasts a vaulted formal dining room that welcomes you upon entry, complemented by a well-appointed utility room. The double-aspect kitchen, equipped with a central preparation island, is perfect for culinary enthusiasts and connects to a versatile fifth bedroom or study. The formal sitting room, highlighted by an open fireplace and large feature window, offers a cozy retreat with access to the gardens through double French doors. A sunroom with floor-to-ceiling glass walls invites natural light and provides breathtaking views of the surrounding land. The accommodation includes four well-sized double bedrooms, two of which have ensuite facilities, along with a principal bedroom featuring fitted wardrobes. A well-equipped family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. While Wheelbarrow Farm is already a delightful residence, it also holds potential for extension and reconfiguration, subject to planning permissions. The property includes beautiful gardens, extensive grounds, and a paddock spanning approximately 6.7 acres, alongside off-street parking for multiple vehicles and two barns. These barns present an exciting opportunity for refurbishment into additional living space or an annexe for multigenerational living. Nestled in a peaceful rural setting, yet just a short walk from Newick village, this property is ideally located near local amenities including shops, public houses, and schools. Commuters will appreciate the proximity to Haywards Heath mainline train station, providing easy access to London. With its picturesque surroundings and rich potential, Wheelbarrow Farm is a must-see for those seeking a family home with character and versatility.
