Ditchling Road, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, RH16

Listed 12 Oct 2026 · Haywards Heath
A truly impressive four-bedroom home forming part of a handsome manor house, occupying a peaceful and private position on the edge of Haywards Heath.
Approached via a quiet private drive, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion while remaining conveniently positioned for the town and surrounding countryside.
Beautifully presented throughout, the property combines the character and proportions of a period residence with stylish modern enhancements, creating a wonderfully comfortable home with an exceptional sense of space.
The heart of the house is the generous kitchen, which is well equipped with a range of integrated appliances and flows naturally into the impressive open-plan dining and sitting room. This is a particularly sociable space, ideal for both relaxed family life and entertaining, with plenty of room for a large dining table and comfortable seating.
From the sitting room, doors lead into a charming conservatory, providing an additional reception space and a wonderful connection with the garden. A patio door opens directly outside, while stairs lead down to a substantial basement. Currently arranged as a utility area and store/games room, this versatile space offers excellent additional storage and could be adapted to suit a variety of needs.
The accommodation continues upstairs with four generous double bedrooms, all benefiting from built-in storage. Two bedrooms are positioned on the first floor, alongside a beautifully modernised family bathroom, while the remaining two bedrooms occupy the second floor. These upper rooms are particularly special, enjoying spectacular far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
There are two contemporary bathrooms in total, both finished to a high standard with stylish fittings and thoughtful design.
Outside
Outside, the property continues to impress, with a large private garden (with a secret garden too) offering plenty of space for outdoor entertaining, relaxation and family life. A substantial double, single garage and shed provides excellent parking and storage, complementing the property's overall sense of space and practicality.
