3 bed detached house for sale

23 Howard Avenue

If you're looking for a property you can put your own stamp on, rather than paying a premium for somebody else's taste, this 3 bedroom detached home on Howard Avenue could be just what you've been waiting for.

Offering approximately 1,300 sq ft of accommodation, a generous kitchen/dining area, separate living room, garage and driveway parking, there's already plenty of space to work with. The property would benefit from modernisation throughout, giving the next owner the opportunity to update the interiors and create a home that reflects their own style. And with no onward chain, there's one less complication to consider when planning your move.

Stepping inside, the living room sits at the front of the house, measuring 16'6" in length. With two windows allowing plenty of natural light into the room, there's space for comfortable seating and a layout that can easily adapt to how you live.

Towards the rear, the kitchen and adjoining reception space offer a particularly versatile part of the home. The kitchen itself measures 16'7" in length, with fitted units, plenty of worktop space and room for a dining table, meaning you don't necessarily need to use the adjoining area for dining. Instead, this could become a cosy snug, children's playroom or an additional sitting area overlooking the garden. Connected by an open archway, the two spaces work well together while still offering their own distinct uses. French doors lead directly from the rear reception area onto the garden, making this a lovely spot to enjoy during the warmer months. Whether you choose to refresh the existing kitchen or rethink the layout entirely, there's plenty of flexibility to create a space that works for you.

There's also a separate utility room, keeping laundry and household essentials away from the main living areas, along with a downstairs WC and useful understairs storage.

Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom includes a wardrobe and an integral shower area comprising a walk-in shower and wash basin area, which could be closed off if preferred. Bedroom 2 is another generous double bedroom, while bedroom 3 could work equally well as a child's bedroom, guest room or dedicated home office.

The family bathroom is separate, and as with the rest of the property, there's plenty of opportunity to update the space to suit your own preferences.

Outside, the rear garden has been arranged with decking, paved seating areas and decorative stone, offering a relatively low-maintenance space to enjoy. There's room for outdoor furniture, summer barbecues or simply relaxing outside, with the option to rethink the landscaping if you fancy a change.

To the front, the driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles and leads to an attached garage measuring approximately 16'6" x 8'2", offering useful additional space for parking or storage.

The location adds another reason to take a closer look. Howard Avenue is on the western side of Burgess Hill, conveniently placed for The Triangle Leisure Centre, local schools including The Gattons and Southway, as well as the Outstanding-rated St Paul’s Catholic College, and the outdoor spaces of the South Downs. The A2300/A23 provides road connections towards Brighton and Gatwick, while Burgess Hill and Wivelsfield stations offer rail services towards London. Everyday shops and amenities are also within easy reach.

Yes, it needs modernising, but that's also part of the appeal. You get to make the decisions, choose the finishes and create something that feels entirely your own, without having to undo somebody else's recent renovations.

With no onward chain and plenty of potential to unlock, this could be the start of something rather exciting.
