House For Sale £925,000
Oathall Opulence | This delightful mid-century home sits on a brilliant 1/4 acre plot and has been designed with open plan entertainment space at forefront. The stunning extension at the rear is a wow-factor space and the station is just under half a mile distant.
The House...
This excellent detached family home is believed to originally date from the mid-1950s and enjoys an enviable plot that extends to ¼ of an acre, in ‘The Heath’ conservation area, less than a half-mile from Haywards Heath’s mainline station.
Since taking ownership in 2013 our clients have embarked on an impressive ground floor renovation and extension programme that is all about open plan living and stunning entertaining space. The real ‘wow-factor’ feature is the contemporary rear extension that was built in 2020/21 – a wonderful 15ft x 12ft family room with full-width folding doors to two sides allowing the party to spill out on to the terrace. The large skylight floods the room with natural light and the herringbone flooring is a nod to the original age of the house, complimented by underfloor heating.
The 20ft open plan kitchen/diner is designed to be a space that draws you in and supplied by the highly regarded Hamilton S. The deep blue shaker style contrast with the Silestone ‘white stone’ Quartz worktops and the island is enormous, giving plenty of prep space and room for the family to gather around. There is a range of integrated neff appliances including induction hob, two ovens (with ‘slide & hide’ drawers), dishwasher and wine cooler. The tandem larder provides an abundance of food storage and the adjacent ‘bi-fold’ dresser gives space to hide the coffee machine.
The gorgeous herringbone flooring flows seamlessly throughout the ground floor linking the kitchen to the delightful dual aspect sitting room, with a log burner - perfect on a chilly winter’s evening!
The ground floor also incorporates an understairs cloakroom and useful utility cupboard.
On the first floor there are four well-balanced bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes. These are served by the family bathroom.
"Sellers Secret"
"The decked area on the lawn with the sail shade doubles as a base for a hot tub, including mains power - it's heaven spending a summer evening there with an outdoor speaker and glass of something cold and fizzy! The new extension has been perfect for entertaining in the summer, with both sides open it really blends inside with outdoors, and visitors love it"
Step Outside...
Outside, this home really comes into its own. In total, the plot extends to ¼ of an acre and the rear garden is simply stunning enjoying a westerly aspect. A large wrap-around terrace is the perfect spot for some ‘al-fresco’ dining or a cold G&T. There is an abundance of pretty roses, shrubs and trees and the garden is enclosed by established hedging and fencing. There is a large expanse of lawn, great for children to play and the garden offers plenty of privacy & seclusion.
‘The Nelson’ is a superb, fully-powered studio that is perfect for those of us looking to ‘work-from-home’. If you’re not working from home, it doubles up as an outside bar!
The external lighting creates delightful evening ambience and there is plenty of outside power. There are two further outside cupboards and shed providing excellent storage.
To the front, the house is set well-back from the road and a sweeping gravel driveway provides plenty of parking, leading to the single garage. The beautiful wisteria stretches over the porch, adding to the kerb appeal.
