The House...

This substantial (2,079 sq ft) Edwardian semi-detached home is steeped in history and provides exceptionally spacious accommodation over three floors. The land on which the house is built was sold by A W Gower in 1891 for £96 before being build, we believe in 1910. Formers owner include H Jones of The Star Inn, Haywards Heath and H W Selby – a renowned local pharmacist family.

Although now requiring certain updating, there is a wealth of typical Edwardian features including high ceilings, bay windows, picture rails, original fireplaces & deep skirting. There is also noticeable ‘Art-Deco’ styling including geometric stained glass.

As it stands, the accommodation boasts the traditional two formal reception rooms. The sitting room enjoys an open fireplace with exposed brick surround, double aspect and a large bay window. The dining room provides plenty of space for an eight-seater table and sliding doors interconnect with the sitting room, making this the perfect space for entertaining. The large kitchen/breakfast room extends to nearly 20ft with plenty of worksurface space & breakfast bar and leads through to the rear lobby and utility with WC.

On the first floor is the impressive master bedroom which extends across the entire front of the house with extensive fitted wardrobes. There is a second, dual aspect double bedroom with cast iron fireplace, single fifth bedroom, family bathroom and separate cloakroom.

The second floor incorporates two further double bedrooms and a spacious bathroom which leads through to a large eaves area with window.

Further attribute is the gas central heating with new boiler installed in July 2018 with thermostatic radiators and some double glazed windows.

Step Outside...

The garden wraps around the side & rear of the house and extends to around 150ft max (front to back). The garden comes to life in the summer and there are a plethora of trees, plants & shrubs including bottle brush (yellow & red), Australian Tree peonies, euphorbia delphinium, old cottage garden flowers, alstroemerias scilla azalea and large areas of paving for ease of maintenance. To the rear is a double garage with power & running water. There is off road parking for up to three cars. To the front is a private area of garden and new bamboo fencing.

Scope/Potential...

In our opinion, there is scope for extension to the side & rear, if required (stpp).
