Kenmead is a Turner-designed, Munnion built family home, built in 1934 and ideally located in an elevated position on the corner of Summerhill Lane and Gander Hill; almost equidistant to Lindfield High Street and Haywards Heath mainline railway station. There is good potential to extend the living accommodation, by converting the integral garage and/or extending to the south (subject to the necessary planning consents).

Typical of Turner's architectural style, externally the house is characterised by brick, part tile hung elevations under a tiled roof, with leaded light casement windows (some with character-retaining secondary glazing). Internally, the property benefits from light and bright rooms, all bar one with a double aspect; and 1930s features including a solid oak staircase, original oak internal doors and an open fireplace in the sitting room.

Steps rise from the driveway to a covered porch, from which an oak front door opens to the entrance hall. From the hall, a solid oak staircase, with under stair cupboard, rises to the first floor and there is access to a cloakroom with WC. There are two reception rooms: an attractive dual-aspect sitting room, with a bay window overlooking the side garden and a Sussex stone fireplace; sliding, part-glazed double doors open to the dual-aspect dining room which has a discreet lift rising to the first floor. The adjoining conservatory overlooks the rear garden and has French doors opening to the terrace.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of modern floor and wall mounted units and display cupboards, a small breakfast bar with space for stools, an integrated refrigerator and spaces for an oven and dishwasher.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor, lying off a split-level galleried landing, bedroom three with a deep storage cupboard into the eaves and bedroom two with a range of fitted furniture. The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and a separate WC, bedroom four also has a wash basin.

A hatch with ladder opens from the landing to the attic snug/den, which has a velux window, plastered walls, is fully carpeted and has access to two eaves storage areas.

Outside
Kenmead is approached from Summerhill Lane via a gated, herringbone brick driveway, which leads up to the house and garaging and offers plenty of parking for a number of cars. The garaging has two pairs of double doors, one bay with a utility and workshop area to one end, with a range of shelving, fitted workbench, space for laundry appliances and a stainless-steel sink and drainer.

The delightful, well-established gardens are a particular feature of the property. To the front of the house and driveway is an area of lawn with a small pond, well screened by a bank of mature trees. An archway leads from the driveway to an expanse of lawn lying along the side of the house, well-enclosed by hedging and a number of mature trees, with a handsome mature oak in one corner, a shed and a screened area for garden waste and storage.

A gate opens to the south facing, enclosed rear garden, which is bounded by mature hedging and fencing and has a greenhouse in the south-western corner. Adjoining the rear of the house, with raised flower beds and steps up to the lawn, is a paved terrace offering an ideal, private outdoor seating area, together with a timber summer house with power connected.
