Description

Nestled on a serene private drive and surrounded by a lush copse of trees, this substantial four-bedroom family home offers a unique chance for renovation and investment in the desirable village of Newick. Originally part of a former farm, the property has been thoughtfully extended over the years, creating an expansive living space that combines historical charm with modern potential. The layout features incredible versatility, with four reception rooms on the ground floor. This configuration presents an excellent opportunity for reimagining the space; it’s feasible to create additional bedrooms, transforming this into a six-bedroom residence if desired. Having been owned for 30 years, the home reflects both care and an evolving design that invites fresh ideas for enhancements. Upon entering, you're greeted by a spacious entrance hall adorned with rich oak flooring that guides you through to various rooms. To the right, a sizable home office—previously utilized as a bedroom—offers possibilities for customization. The highlight is undoubtedly the impressive lounge, extending 30 feet with ample natural light from its south-facing windows and glazed door leading to the garden. An open fireplace here adds character while signaling potential for further modernization or expansion. Adjacent to the lounge is another reception room that could easily revert to an integral garage or serve as another downstairs bedroom. A formal dining room also graces this level, featuring decorative elements and garden views. The kitchen stands out with its glossy units and granite worktops complemented by integrated appliances; its large utility room further enhances functionality. The first floor boasts a galleried landing accessing separate loft areas that could be converted into more living spaces (subject to planning permission). The principal suite encompasses generous dimensions and dual aspect views overlooking landscaped gardens, complete with a well-appointed ensuite bathroom. Additional bedrooms retain appealing aspects such as fitted wardrobes and lovely outlooks. Outside, the property features an in-and-out gravel driveway providing ample parking alongside foundations already laid for a detached garage—a detail that signals future enhancement opportunities. The garden sprawls with thoughtfully designed areas including vegetable plots, seating spaces under rose arches, and a tranquil fruit tree orchard at its rear. Strategically located in Newick—recognized for its charming village atmosphere—the property is within proximity to essential amenities such as schools, shops, cafes, and public houses. Excellent transport links are accessible via Haywards Heath mainline station just over seven miles away, facilitating easy commutes to London among other areas. This property stands not only as a comfortable family home but also presents significant investment potential through renovation efforts in both its interior layout and outdoor
