3 Bedroom Detached House

Guide Price £450,000-£470,000 REF MG1259

There is something about a modern home that makes life that little bit easier. It might be the low running costs, the peace of mind that comes with a 10 year warranty, or simply the fact that everything feels designed with today’s lifestyles in mind. For me, that is what modern living is all about. A kitchen/diner that is big enough to cook, eat and socialise in which then flows out to the garden. A ground floor WC for convenience. Bedrooms that don’t feel compromised.

22 Cape Road delivers all of that, and more.

What I particularly like about this home is the way it flows. The kitchen/diner is a space you’ll genuinely enjoy spending time in, with integrated appliances creating a sleek finish and plenty of room for a good-sized dining table. Open the doors and the garden becomes an extension of the living space. Better still, it is larger than many you will find, extending beyond the width of the house to include the area alongside the driveway, with sunshine throughout the day.

The attention to detail continues throughout. Invisible ceiling speakers in the kitchen/diner and sitting room are a lovely addition, whilst the wood-style flooring running through the hall, WC and kitchen creates a seamless feel. Even bedroom three avoids the compromises often associated with modern homes, measuring an impressive 11’ x 8’4.

Outside, there is off-road parking for two cars, additional visitor parking along Cape Road, and to the front an outlook not of neighbouring homes, but of mature woodland.

The property tenure is freehold and the council tax band is E. There is a twice yearly service charge of £145.

The local area.

Cape Road is located on the Fox Hill development on the southern side of Haywards Heath, an area that offers a balance of convenience and access to the countryside. Everyday essentials are close by, with a Sainsbury’s Local on Wivelsfield Road, a Co-Op on Franklynn Road and the newly opened Morrisons Daily on Ditchling Road. Haywards Heath town centre is readily accessible and provides a wide range of shops, cafes, restaurants and leisure facilities. There is easy access to some excellent villages and outdoor spaces. To the south are Wivelsfield Green and Plumpton Green, with Ditchling Common a short drive further on, followed by the picturesque village of Ditchling.

Brighton can be reached in as little as 17 minutes by train. There is also the option of Wivelsfield station, approximately 3 miles to the south.
