Paddocks is a substantial detached house, originally dating from the early twentieth century; it was acquired by the current owners in 2021. They added a two-storey front extension and garage conversion, creating a five bedroom, three reception layout which is ideally suited to family life. Structural work has included reroofing, replacing the private drainage system and partial rewiring.

Externally, Paddocks has attractive part-brick, part-tile hung elevations under a clay tiled roof; inside it offers light accommodation with good ceiling heights and generously proportioned rooms. It has the further benefit of solar panels which feed to a battery, providing electricity and hot water.

The floorplans give an excellent overview of the full layout, with points of note including a triple aspect sitting room with an inglenook fireplace set with a wood burning stove; the separate family room has a bay window with French doors to rear garden, and could be used as a formal dining room if required. The kitchen/dining room has quartz worktops, with a good range of undercounter cabinets and open shelving; the dining area has bi fold doors opening to the rear garden, giving a fantastic flow between inside and out, ideal for entertaining. The adjoining utility room has access to the front garden, space for appliances, a drying rack with pulley and three sinks; at the rear of the kitchen is a pantry. A study and a cloakroom complete the ground floor.

The first floor has stripped wood flooring, combined with exposed plasterwork, giving a natural tone. The bedrooms are arranged around a central galleried landing. The principal bedroom has views over the rear garden, a dressing area and an en suite shower room. There are four further bedrooms, all with generous proportions, and two family bathrooms, with an additional large storeroom which is currently used as office space.

Paddocks is situated on the sought-after southern edge of Burgess Hill, just moments from the South Downs National Park, and a 0.7 of a mile walk along pavement to Burgess Hill train station. It is set well back from the road, approached via a driveway which leads up to provide parking ahead of the house. The rear garden is mature, with a patio, levelled lawns with space for garden furniture and wildflower areas with mown paths, cottage style beds and mature trees and shrubs. There is a polytunnel and a chicken coop.

The driveway forks at the front of the house and leads up to Paddock Cottage, tucked away at the far end of the grounds. Formerly a pool house, it is now used as storage and is ripe for renovation. In 2012 planning permission was granted for it to be demolished and rebuilt as three bedroom accommodation, with foundation partially laid; in 2021 revised permission was granted but no building commenced. It offers immense potential, and is well-screened from the main house by hedging. The full planning history is available on Mid Sussex DC's planning portal, with references as follows: demolition and rebuild 12/02036/FUL; consent as separate accommodation AP/13/0059; revised plans DM/21/2413.

The swimming pool adjacent to Paddock Cottage is no longer usable, but has potential to be reinstated. The grounds extend to 1.13 acres in all.
