94 Lewes Road was built in the 1920s and then subjected to an extensive programme of refurbishments by the current owner in 2012. The house is a grand property built in the traditional Sussex vernacular, with a mix of brick and tile-hung elevations and exposed timber framing in the Tudor Revival style to the rear. The highlight of the house is certainly its stunning and well-established gardens, which are private with no overlooking neighbours and ideally angled to capture the sun throughout the day. Internally the house is generously proportioned, offering almost 5000 sq ft of space over three floors, with a bright and modern design throughout featuring neutral colours, natural wooden elements like window frames, doors and floors, and contemporary bath and shower rooms. Of particular note is the annexe potential on the ground floor, which could be created by joining the second kitchen, shower room/WC and one of the reception rooms to create a self-contained living area for grandparents, older children or staff.
The ground floor accommodation is well suited to entertaining and features a bright and welcoming entrance hall leading to three good-size reception rooms and a cloakroom with w.c. There is also a separate kitchen which is well appointed with appliances and built-in storage, and features bifold doors opening to the rear garden and terrace. There is an additional reception room, a boot room providing internal access to the double garage, and a second kitchen, shower room and store accessed separately.
On the first floor there are five good-size double bedrooms, three of which are en suite, while the remaining bedrooms share a separate shower room. There are also a number of storage rooms. On the top floor here is a sixth bedroom, attic room and loft storage.
Outside
This part of Lewes Road is attractive and leafy, and lined mostly with large, detached houses, and there is a pleasant street scene at the front. The house is approached via a gated entrance which opens to a good-size gravel driveway where there is plenty of parking plus access to the attached double garage. The majority of the outside space is situated to the rear, where there is beautifully landscaped garden with a favourable south-easterly aspect. The gardens are well stocked with a variety of trees, shrubs, bedding plants and flowers, and there is also a greenhouse and a vegetable plot. Like the house, the garden enjoys magnificent views towards the South Downs, best enjoyed from one of the paved terraces.
pSituation
Lewes Road is a popular road situated on the eastern edge of Haywards Heath with excellent access to the South Downs National Park and plenty of country walks. The house is under two miles from the mainline station and town centre, including both Waitrose and Sainsbury's superstores, Dolphin Leisure Centre and The Broadway, which is the town's social hub with its array of bars and restaurants. Further shopping facilities can be found at The Orchards Shopping Centre. Road communications are excellent via the A272 and A23(M), with the latter lying approximately five miles west at Warninglid/Bolney. Haywards Heath's mainline station provides fast and regular commuter services to London (Victoria/London Bridge in approx. 47 mins), Gatwick International Airport (20 mins) and Brighton (20 mins). There are a number of excellent schools nearby including Great Walstead, Cumnor House, Ardingly, Burgess Hill School, Hurst College and Brighton College. Sporting and recreational activities are extensive with golf at Haywards Heath, Royal Ashdown and East Sussex National Golf Clubs; sailing at Ardingly and Weir Wood reservoirs. Walking and riding is popular locally, including the South Downs and the Ashdown Forest.
Additional Information
Mains water, gas, and electricity are supplied to the property which has its own waste water treatment system.
