REF MG1259

*Guide Price £450,000-£475,000* There’s something about a corner plot home that I love. I think it’s the sense of space around you that works so well, and this home in Bowden Way is a great example of that. The front overlooks a small wooded area and the passing traffic is to a handful of homes. Another positive with a corner plot is the amount of natural light. Both the sitting room and the kitchen/diner enjoy a double aspect; not only does this bring in additional light, it also adds extra interest to the rooms.

In the kitchen, there is ample prep space, integrated appliances and, importantly, room for a table. You’ll also find useful understairs storage and French doors that lead you straight out to the patio. The ground floor is completed by a handy cloakroom.

Upstairs, all of the bedrooms are well proportioned, with bedroom one benefitting from an en-suite. Both the en-suite and the family bathroom are slick and modern.

To the rear, the favoured south-facing garden enjoys plenty of daylight, with a terrace, a lawned area and a useful summerhouse. Rear access into the garage is a real bonus, offering potential, if desired, to incorporate the garage into additional entertaining space, such as a second reception room or utility room (subject to the necessary permissions), whilst still retaining the parking space in front.

The property tenure is freehold and the council tax band is E.

Yearly service charge: Approx £300 (reviewed yearly)

The local area.

Bowden Way enjoys a tucked-away position just off Wivelsfield Road on the southern side of Haywards Heath. Everyday essentials are close at hand, with a Sainsbury’s Local on Wivelsfield Road and a Co-Op on Franklynn Road, while The Princess Royal Hospital and St Francis Social Club are both within easy walking distance. Haywards Heath town centre and its wide choice of shops, cafés and restaurants are also close by. Families will appreciate the proximity to well-regarded schools including St Wilfrid’s, Northlands Wood and Warden Park. Nearby green spaces such as Victoria Park, Clair Park and the surrounding countryside provide plenty of options for dog walks, running routes and weekend exploring.

For those needing to travel, the A272 offers straightforward links towards Bolnore, Cuckfield and the A23/M23, giving quick access to Brighton, Gatwick and London. Haywards Heath station is only a short drive away and provides fast, frequent services—London in under an hour and Brighton in around 20 minutes, making this a great spot for commuters. The area is surrounded by charming villages such as Lindfield, Cuckfield and Ardingly, along with National Trust favourites including Wakehurst Place, Nymans and Sheffield Park. Brighton’s seafront lies just 15 miles to the south, with Crawley and Gatwick also easily reached to the north.
