A beautifully modernised 5-bedroom detached ‘Turner’ family home, originally built in the 1940s and arranged over three floors, set on a plot of approximately 0.3 acres. Situated on the edge of Cuckfield, the property enjoys a fabulous south-west facing landscaped rear garden, extensive private driveway parking, and a detached barn-style double garage, while being within easy reach of both the village centre and Haywards Heath.
The home has been thoughtfully extended, reconfigured, and renovated by the current owners to create a stylish and practical family layout. At its heart is a superb kitchen/dining room, complemented by a former garage converted into a large utility room with an enclosed front-accessed bike store.
Accommodation comprises an oak-framed porch leading to a bright reception hall with cloakroom/WC. A triple-aspect sitting room spans front to back, featuring an open fireplace and French-style doors to the patio. The impressive 24’3 x 13’4 kitchen/dining room is fitted with soft grey and deep blue cabinetry, white quartz work surfaces, integrated appliances including dual electric ovens, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, central island with induction hob and wine cooler, plus bi-folding doors and a rear picture window with seating. The dining area provides ample space for a large table and opens directly to the patio.
The generously sized utility room (17’7 x 8’11) offers plumbing for appliances, an inset sink, and extensive storage.
On the first floor, four double bedrooms, three overlooking the rear garden, are served by a beautifully re-fitted bathroom with Victorian-style suite, free-standing slipper bath, twin pedestal basins, large shower enclosure, and a separate WC. A staircase leads to a bright second-floor bedroom occupying the entire roof space, featuring two dormer windows and an en-suite shower room, complemented by eaves storage.
This exceptional family home combines period charm with contemporary living, offering flexible and elegant accommodation across three floors in a highly sought-after location.
