2 bed flat for sale

Rocky Lane, Haywards Heath RH16

An exciting opportunity to acquire a 70% share of this modern, stylish two bedroom first floor apartment with southerly balcony, parking and spectacular views toward the South Downs.

Welcome Home

Welcome to Kilnwood Apartments - a thoughtfully designed development tucked away off Rocky Lane on the southern edge of town, comprising just three low-rise blocks of nine stylish two-bedroom apartments. This particular apartment is being sold on a Shared Equity basis, meaning qualifying buyers can secure a home from just 70% of the full market value - with no rent or interest charged on the remaining share.

This is a very different model to traditional shared ownership, offering a more affordable route into homeownership without ongoing rental costs on the unsold share. We believe an incoming buyer must have an affiliation to the local area (live locally now, work in the area or have family in the area).

The apartment benefits from secure entry systems and is presented in excellent order with neutral décor, quality carpets, modern finishes throughout and spectacular views towards the South Downs.

The spacious entrance hall with a built-in storage cupboard and opens into a bright, south facing open plan living/kitchen/dining space that is ideal for entertaining and everyday apartment living. The layout enjoy multiple aspects, and the private balcony make the most of the sunny position and that beautiful open outlook. The stylish kitchen comes fully fitted with integrated appliances and provide a clean, contemporary look.

There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a generous bathroom, while double glazing and a traditional gas central heating system (radiators) ensure comfort and efficiency year-round.

Residents benefit from attractively kept communal gardens, allocated parking (one space per apartment), plus visitor parking, bike storage, and bin stores.
