Welcome Home... - Believed to date from 1898, with period grandeur and all the features one could wish for, this gorgeous Victoria home is a true hidden gem, tucked away in the heart of Burgess Hill.

Simply put, character homes of this class are so rarely available and this genteel home offers the perfect blend character and contemporary styling. 10ft ceilings, large bay sash windows, deep skirtings, ceiling roses, detailed cornice, exposed floorboards and statement fireplaces combine with the calming Farrow & Ball décor and high specification kitchen and bathrooms to truly striking effect

Period Grandeur - Upon entry you are welcomed by a grand entrance hall and you'll be immediately struck by the 10ft ceiling heights and vast amount of natural light flooding.

The sitting room is a stunning space, with two large bay windows providing a dual aspect. The beautiful fireplace provides an eye-catching focal point with bespoke joinery either side of the chimney breast. The log burner is perfect for a cosy night in front of the fire.

Dining Delights - Just over the hall is the impressive dining room, again with focal point fireplace and voluminous ceiling heights that give a real feeling of space. The arched transom window sits above the striking stained-glass door to provide further detailing that makes this home so appealing

Fantastic Flow - The dining room flows through to the glorious Victorian-style conservatory. This impressive space is the perfect summer room and enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden. Bi-fold doors connect the space to the beautiful kitchen, great for entertaining friends & family and adding fantastic flow to the living space.

Bespoke Kitchen - The kitchen is always the heart of the home and this is no different. The units are totally bespoke and supplied by the highly regarded Yew Tree Kitchens and there are a range of integrated appliances, double butler sinks, beautiful cabinetry and ample storage/prep space. The central island makes this a superb social space, the granite worktops add a touch of class and 'French' doors open on to the garden.

Bath & Bed - On the first floor you have three tremendous double bedrooms. The principle bedroom sits above the sitting room and is a fabulous dual aspect room filled with light. The second and third rooms overlook the rear garden. The stylish family bathroom combines a contemporary high spec with nods to the era of the home. The standalone bath tub is the perfect spot to soak and unwind after a long day, whilst the walk-in shower is great for everyday use. You can heat your fluffy towels on the period style towel rail. The marble effect tiling completes the luxurious feel.

There is also an equally stylish and incredibly useful ground floor shower room.

Outside Oasis - Step out from the kitchen into the beautiful garden. The paved terrace faces due west meaning it is bathed in the afternoon/evening sunshine making it the perfect spot for a cold G&T or some 'al-fresco' dining. The old brickwork adds even more character and steps lead up to a large expanse of level lawn that is ideal for children to play. There are pops of colour in the established borders & beds and a ornamental fish pond and water feature add the soothing sound of water.

Gated side access leads to the front where the gated gravel driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to the detached garage.

In its entirety the house sits on 0.18 acre plot and there is plenty of space at the side to build a double garage/car barn, if required (STPP).

Where Are We? - London Road is centrally located in Burgess Hill and provides swift road links north onto the A273 bypass or south and towards the town centre, with The Martlets Shopping Centre and Waitrose Supermarket. The town also boasts a Tesco Superstore and the nearby Londis a stone's throw and handy for those everyday essentials. The beautiful Bedelands Nature Reserve is only a half-mile distant and the perfect spot to walk the dog, with 35 hectares of woodland, wild meadows and the locally famous 'Mill Pond'.

The nearest pub/restaurant is The Oak Barn - a stunning 18th century barn that serves great food, including a tasty Sunday Roast. The seat in front of the roaring open fires are perfect for a glass of red. Burgess Hill Golf Centre is next door and has a driving range and 9 hole course. The Woolpack Gastropub is also walking distance.

For those requiring rail services, Wivelsfield Station is just under a mile distant and provides mainline services to London (Victoria/London Bridge in around 55 mins), Gatwick Airport (15-20 mins) and Brighton (18 mins). The town has a second mainline station at Burgess Hill.

School wise we believe the catchment areas are Sheddingdean Primary and Burgess Hill Academy Secondary. In the private sector there is a range of excellent schools in the locality including Hurstpierpoint College, Ardingly College and Burgess Hill Girls School. For younger children, there are plenty of excellent nurseries in town including Montessori and MightySaurus,
