4 bed detached house for sale

Kingfisher Drive, Haywards Heath, West Sussex RH16

Ref MG1259

Sometimes you walk into a home and every box is ticked. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Bolnore, this excellent family home offers superb space and flexibility, complemented by beautifully thought through styling that will appeal to a wide range of buyers.

Without doubt, the hub of the home is the kitchen/diner. The re-modelled kitchen takes centre stage, offering ample preparation space across granite work surfaces which flow into a breakfast bar. Importantly, there is plenty of storage, along with integrated appliances and space for a Rangemaster cooker. The adjacent utility room ensures noisy appliances are kept out of the way and, with access to the rear, provides the perfect spot for wellies, jackets and dog leads. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room via double doors, creating a highly versatile space. Currently used as a generous work from home area, it is large enough to suit a variety of uses, and the double doors allow it to be closed off at the end of the day.

A great use of space has been to convert the garage into a playroom, with built in storage to the rear while still retaining useful storage to the front, accessed from the driveway. This flexibility further enhances the home’s appeal, complementing the office/family room. Also on the ground floor are two additional storage cupboards and a WC.

On the first floor, the formal sitting room provides a brilliant space to relax, with a balcony overlooking the play area opposite. Bedroom one is also located on this floor and benefits from built in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. The three remaining bedrooms are all generous doubles; one on the first floor and two on the second floor, along with the family bathroom. Both second floor bedrooms feature built in wardrobes, and the bathroom perfectly serves these rooms.

To the rear, the garden enjoys a westerly aspect, and the elevated position of Kingfisher Drive ensures excellent levels of afternoon and evening sunshine. The garden is arranged with a terrace, ideal for a table and chairs, leading onto a lawned area. To the front, there is off road parking on the brick paved drive.

The location of this family home, on the southern side of Bolnore Village, is excellent and, in our opinion, a real selling point.
