A 1930's detached three bedroom house designed by renown local architect and builder Harold Turner in his traditional Sussex farmhouse vernacular style. These properties are much sought after due to their substantial construction and attractive Arts and Crafts overtones with exposed oak joinery, bee hive fireplace and leaded light windows. This property sits on the south side of Broad Street in Cuckfield, well back from the road and completely screened from passers by due to the deep front garden enclosed by trees and thick hedging. A shared tarmac driveway leads up to the integral garage and steps across to the front porch and doorway. The hall gives access to the cloakroom and beyond to the WC, sitting room with bay French doors to the glass covered veranda and garden, large separate dining room and kitchen breakfast room. Upstairs the solid oak staircase opens onto the landing with storage cupboards and loft access. There are 2 double bedrooms one with bay window to the south and a single third bedroom together with a bathroom and separate WC. The property has gas central heating from a condenser boiler and the owners installed a solar PV system in 2011 which sends power back to the grid for quarterly renumeration (circa £1500 received in last 12 months). The front gardens are laid to lawn with lush shrub beds and borders, ornamental trees and dense hedging. The front garden drops down via steps to an enclosed area by the road which could have potential to create further parking. The rear garden faces due south and is laid to lawn running back about 35m with high thick hedging on all boundaries, shrub and bushes. There is a covered way accessed from the kitchen door which connects the front and rear garden. A canted veranda projects about 6 feet off the back of the house with a paved pathway which links up to the summer house. There is a further garden shed half way up the garden against the west boundary.
Broad Street is a wide road flanked by expensive and desirable homes. The subject property is just over half a mile from the picturesque High Street with its cafes, pubs, antique and specialist shops, chemist, village store and famous spa hotel. The village primary and secondary schools are a short walk away. Haywards Heath town centre is 2 miles with a wider range of shops, supermarkets and mainline railway station (London Bridge and Victoria from about 45 mins). The A23 London to Brighton dual carriageway is 5 - 8 minutes drive to the west.
