House For Sale £785,000
Characterful semi-detached Victorian lodge house on a private road in Lindfield.
Description
Ideally situated on a no-through private road on the western side of Lindfield, only 0.9 of a mile from Haywards Heath’s mainline station and within easy reach of Lindfield’s picturesque High Street, Wallace Lodge is an attractive semi-detached period home believed to date from 1901. Extended over time, the property offers well-presented and characterful accommodation over two floors, with particular points of note including the light and bright south west facing conservatory added by the current owners in 2020, and the stylish Hamilton Stone kitchen, refitted in 2021.
The front door opens from an overhung porch to the entrance lobby, where stairs rise to the first floor. The lobby leads to the superbly appointed kitchen, which has been beautifully fitted with a range of bespoke Hamilton Stone cabinetry, including a pair of full height, shelved larder cupboards, complemented by quartz worktops and a Villeroy & Boch sink. Integrated appliances include a double oven and four-ring hob; there are spaces for a dishwasher, washer/dryer and fridge.
There are three inter-connecting reception rooms: double doors open from the kitchen to the conservatory which has underfloor heating, French doors opening to the garden and is currently used as a dining room; the sitting room is a lovely vaulted room with a striking semi-circular window spanning nearly the whole western wall and framing the view down the garden. Lying off the kitchen is a versatile third reception room with a useful storage cupboard. The room is currently used as a study/office, but could also be used as a formal dining room or cosy snug.
Bedroom one is on the ground floor, features an attractive Art Nouveau style fireplace and has a walk-in closet; a tiled wet room with WC completes the ground floor.
There are three further bedrooms on the first floor, two with fitted or built in storage cupboards, served by a family bathroom with white suite including a bath, basin and WC.
Wallace Lodge is approached from Summerhill Drive over a shingle driveway which offers plenty of private parking, together with a timber car port.
The pretty, cottage-style rear garden extends away from the house to the south west, private and well-enclosed by fencing, mature hedging and colourful borders. A split-level paved terrace adjoins the rear of the house, with plenty of space for a table and chairs and sun loungers; steps rise to an area of lawn dotted with young trees, with a pumped stream and small pond, and timber store. A brick path leads to the far end of the garden where there is a further terrace that catches the morning sun, an insulated summer house with power and lighting, and a screened area for garden storage/waste.
Location
Wallace Lodge is situated in a private road in the picturesque village of Lindfield, a village well known for its historic lime tree-lined High Street, large village common and pond. Lindfield offers very good local amenities including a variety of shops, boutiques and public houses. The neighbouring town of Haywards Heath provides a further range of facilities, including high street shops, restaurants, supermarkets (including a Waitrose) and a leisure centre; more comprehensive shopping can be found in Brighton, Crawley and Tunbridge Wells.
Sporting and recreational activities are extensive, with golf at Haywards Heath, Lindfield and Piltdown, racing at Plumpton and Brighton, sailing at Weir Wood and Ardingly reservoirs and along the South Coast, and walking and riding locally including the South Downs National Park and on the Ashdown Forest. The renowned Glyndebourne Opera House is just east of Lewes and the vibrant city of Brighton and Hove (15 miles distant) has a thriving theatre culture, festivals and events.
Mainline rail service: Haywards Heath station is about 0.9 of a mile distant, with services to London Bridge/Victoria from 45 minutes.
Schools: There is an excellent range of schools in the area, both state and private, including Blackthorns and Lindfield primary schools and Oathall Community College, Cumnor House, Great Walstead, Ardingly College, Worth, Burgess Hill Girls and Hurstpierpoint College.
