About this home

An exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial three/four-bedroom semi-detached house in a popular Haywards Heath location, currently partway through an extensive programme of renovation and extension.

Offering the opportunity to complete and finish the works to an individual buyer's own specification, the property has already undergone significant improvements, including a loft conversion and partial ground-floor extension, creating the foundations for a much larger and more versatile family home.

The accommodation currently provides four bedrooms, with the potential to turn one of the bedrooms into a family bathroom, while the ground-floor extension will significantly increase the potential living accommodation. The property is now being offered for sale as an unfinished project, providing an excellent opportunity for a buyer with the vision and ability to complete the remaining works and create a substantial contemporary home.

One of the property's standout features is the high-quality detached garden annexe, which provides an exceptionally useful addition to the main house. Independently positioned within the garden, the annexe is ideally suited to a range of uses and has been designed to provide comfortable one-bedroom accommodation, including a bedroom, bathroom and an open-plan lounge/kitchen area.

The annexe could be particularly appealing to buyers looking for independent accommodation for a family member, a teenage or young adult suite, a home office with additional living space, or potential ancillary accommodation for guests. Subject to the necessary permissions and consents, it could also offer potential for other uses.

The main house and annexe therefore provide an unusual combination of substantial family accommodation, development potential and high-quality additional living space, making this a particularly interesting proposition for buyers prepared to take on a project.

Situated on Bentswood Road, the property is conveniently positioned on the southern side of Haywards Heath, offering easy access to a wide range of everyday amenities. The town centre provides an excellent selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, whilst Haywards Heath's mainline railway station offers regular services to London Victoria, London Bridge and Brighton, making it an ideal location for commuters.

Families are well served by a choice of highly regarded schools for all ages, together with nearby parks and open green spaces. The area also benefits from excellent road links via the A23 and M23, providing convenient access to Gatwick Airport, the South Coast and the M25.

Haywards Heath is surrounded by the picturesque Sussex countryside, with the neighbouring villages offering charming independent shops, traditional pubs and scenic walks, creating the perfect balance between town convenience and rural lifestyle.
