The House...
‘Fairfield’ is an exquisite & imposing red-brick Victorian semi-detached home dating from 1897 and a commuter’s dream, being positioned on the sought-after Queens Road and in a prime location for the mainline station. Internally, the house boasts the perfect mix of retained period features and a contemporary, yet sympathetic high specification.
As you step through the front door, the tone is set by the impressive hallway with beautiful original tiled flooring. The gracious sitting room combines grandeur with intimacy and supplies all the features a lover of period homes could desire, including high ceilings, bay window, focal point fireplace with 'Chesneys' log burner & exposed floorboards. The formal dining room offers plenty of versatility, enjoys a dual aspect and another open fireplace, again from 'Chesneys'
The gorgeous shaker-style kitchen/breakfast room was refitted in 2018/19, extends to nearly 18ft and has been bespoke built with plenty of storage, quality quartz worktops with peninsula and an extensive range of integrated neff appliances (oven, microwave, warming tray, gas hob, wine cooler, dishwasher and fridge/freezer). There is plenty of space for a round table meaning you can entertain or keep an eye on the children eating the breakfast.
Just off the kitchen is a small utility area that leads through to a flexible family room, with sliding doors opening on to the garden. This room is an ideal playroom or “work from home” space and there is plenty of built-in storage.
There is also a ground floor cloakroom.
Stairs rise to the first floor which boasts the split-level landing typical of these homes. The principle bedroom is positioned to the front and is a spacious double room with ornate original fireplace and its own luxurious en-suite shower, tastefully renovated in late 2019. There is a large walk-in shower with ‘waterfall’ shower head and period style tiling.
The second & third bedrooms are both good-size double rooms, also with original fireplaces. Both are served by the stylish refitted family bathroom with separate bath and walk-in shower.
Further attributes include gas central heating, tasteful décor and a light, airy feel throughout.
Step Outside...
To the rear is a southerly garden, meaning plenty of sunshine throughout the day. There is a large paved terrace that is the perfect spot for ‘al-fresco’ dining, whilst an expanse of lawn gives space for children to play.
To the front is driveway parking for two cars (tandem) and a pretty front garden with hedging providing screening.
Scope/Potential...
One particular feature is the enormous loft space that is ripe for conversion into a stunning master bedroom with en-suite, if required and neighbouring homes have undertaken such works. There is also room to extend the kitchen to the side, if required. Any works are subject to planning permission.
The Location...
Queens Road is an established residential road of mainly Victorian/Edwardian/1930s homes and enjoys a most convenient location for Haywards Heaths mainline station, which provides fast and regular commuter services to London (Victoria/London Bridge in approx 47 mins), Brighton and Gatwick International Airport. Additionally, Waitrose Superstore is within easy walking distance with a café and wine bar. There are a variety of other local amenities within close proximity including a convenience store while Sainsburys Superstore and the Dolphin Leisure Centre are also within walking distance. By road, surrounding areas can be easily accessed via the A272 and A23(M) with the latter lying approximately five miles west at Bolney/Warninglid.
The property falls into the catchment area for the highly regarded Blackthorns Primary School in Lindfield and for secondary education children usually attend Oathall Community College. There are also a number of private schools within the local area including Great Walstead School, Ardingly College, Hurstpierpoint College and Burgess Hill School for Girls.
