About this property

  • Tucked away in a private, no-through road on the northern side of Haywards Heath, within easy reach of the station and amenities, 3 Dairymans Cottage is a beautifully presented semi-detached period bungalow. Attractively characterised by brick elevations with red brick detailing and decorative ridge tiles, over the past two years the house and its garden have been comprehensively refurbished by the current owner, resulting in a stylish and superbly appointed home, with the benefit of planning permission to extend the sitting room.

    Points of note include low-profile replacement double-glazed windows and doors (2024), a re-fitted John Lewis kitchen, and a newly-installed bathroom suite; the house has been re-decorated throughout, with Art & Crafts touches adding character in keeping with the age of the house.

    To the front of the house is an elegant veranda with tessellated clay tiles, from here the front door opens to a small entrance lobby leading into the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of blue/grey units, with quartz worktops and appliances including a Neff induction hob, extractor, oven and combination microwave, fan oven and grill; there is space for a fridge/freezer and a slimline dishwasher.

    The adjoining sitting room is dual aspect, with French doors opening to the terrace.

    Beyond the kitchen is an inner hall, with two deep cupboards – one with space and plumbing for a washing machine, and the other housing the boiler. There are two bedrooms, the larger of the two with full-height fitted wardrobes, served by a part-tiled bathroom with a period-style white suite including a bath, basin set into a wash stand, and a WC.

    Outside
    To the front of the house is a gravelled private parking area for two cars, with an EV charging point; a gate set into a low picket fence opens to a pathway leading to the front door. The cottage-style garden lies predominantly to two sides of the house, and has been recently re-landscaped, with a south-east facing lawn, sandstone terraces and raised beds. To the rear (north west) of the property is a new lean-to timber storage shed.
