Lucastes Lane, Haywards Heath, West Sussex

Occupying a generous plot and thoughtfully improved by the current owners, this substantial detached family home offers versatile and well-balanced accommodation extending over three floors. Originally dating from the 1950s, the property has been significantly enhanced, including a comprehensive renovation in 2021. Improvements include an extension to the front and first floor, full rewiring (CAT 5), the installation of a new boiler and large hot water tank, replacement windows and most doors, a reconfigured second floor, renewed roof and updated guttering. The property is beautifully presented with LVT flooring and zoned underfloor heating to the ground floor, deep pile carpets to the bedrooms, internal shutters to the front and first floor windows, contemporary bathrooms and carefully considered decorative finishes. There is fibre broadband to the property, and a new Sky dish.

On the ground floor is an impressive open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, ideally designed for modern living. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with an excellent range of dark charcoal cabinetry, a central island with breakfast bar seating and prep sink, quartz worktops, pantry storage, a Quooker tap and a comprehensive range of integrated AEG appliances including two ovens, a combination microwave oven, a five ring gas hob with an extractor over, a dishwasher and a wine fridge. There is space for a large fridge/freezer.

Large rear glazing and bi-fold doors create a bright and sociable environment, and the space has been cleverly zoned to provide a play area, a dining room and a sitting room, all with a seamless connection to the garden. The ground floor also benefits from a separate utility/boot room, offering space for the usual appliances and additional storage, ideal for busy families or pets.

There are five bedrooms arranged over the upper floors. On the first floor, the principal suite enjoys a well-fitted walk-in wardrobe and an en suite shower room; bedroom two has fitted wardrobes and, along with bedroom three, shares use of a well-appointed family bathroom with a free-standing bath and walk-in shower. On the second floor are two spacious and versatile rooms, which could be used as bedrooms or additional office, study or playroom space, as required. Completing this floor is a bathroom, and a large eaves storage room.

Outside, the property is set back from the road on a small crescent; the house is approached via an extended driveway providing parking for approximately five vehicles, with an EV charging point, water tap and side access to the rear garden. A mature willow tree, protected by a Tree Preservation Order, forms an attractive focal point at the front of the grounds.

The rear garden has been carefully landscaped and matured over time, featuring well-stocked planting beds giving interest throughout the year, and a variety of established fruit trees including apple, cherry, pear, apricot and plum. There is a wide patio spanning the rear elevation, and steps lead up to a second patio, with light and power, creating an ideal spot for entertaining and outdoor living.

The detached garden office/gym is a recent addition, it is fully insulated with power and broadband connected, providing valuable ancillary space to work from home or creating additional leisure space. It has a workshop at the rear, which also offers storage for bikes and garden machinery. The garden is laid to lawn and fully enclosed by a combination of brick wall, panelled and stock fencing.
