Superbly presented detached family house in a sought-after village
Chetwode is a superb detached house, situated on the eastern side of the popular village of Cuckfield, within excellent reach of both the village centre and Haywards Heath station. Originally built in the 1960s and subsequently extended, the property was acquired by the current owners in 2019. It has been significantly remodelled and redecorated, including the creation of an open plan kitchen/dining room, converting the former garage to a useful utility room and bike store, and adding a timber framed open bay car port and a replacement porch.
The result is a spacious and well-proportioned house which is ideally suited to family life. The accommodation is arranged over three floors, and extends to 2,024 sq ft (including some restricted head height on the second floor); of particular note is the dual aspect sitting room, which has a working open fireplace and French doors to the terrace. The contemporary open plan kitchen/dining room has been completely renovated, and is exceptionally light, with a picture window to the side, French doors from the dining room and bi-fold doors from the kitchen to the rear terrace, giving an excellent flow between inside and out. The kitchen has been stylishly fitted with dark blue cabinets counterpointed by Carrera quartz worktops and a matching island with white cabinets under. Integrated appliances include an induction hob, two ovens, a fridge/freezer, a wine fridge and a boiling water tap. Lying off the hall is a utility room, fitted with plenty of storage cupboards and offering space for the usual appliances. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
There are four bedrooms on the first floor, one of which is used as a study. These are served by a beautifully refitted bathroom, with a bath, walk-in shower and a pair of basins; there is a separate WC. On the second floor, the loft has been converted to give an additional en suite bedroom, with some reduced head height.
The outside space is a particular feature of Chetwode; it is set well back from Broad Street, screened by mature trees, with a short shared drive leading up to electronically operated gates. These open to the fully enclosed gravelled driveway, with a detached open two-bay garage sited to one side, an attractive timber framed building with a tiled roof, storage over the bays and power connected. The driveway has plenty of space for parking additional vehicles, and the converted former garage (attached to the house) offers a secure a bike store/ garden storage.
The south west facing rear garden has been beautifully landscaped; the rear terrace is accessed from all reception rooms, and is great spot to sit and enjoy the garden, with lots of space for furniture and space for hot tub; the side return leads to the boiler cupboard. The elevated rear garden has an expanse of lawn, with a path to one side leading up to the summerhouse; there are landscaped beds to the rear and raised beds to one side, with hardstanding and space for a greenhouse. The garden is well screened by hedging and mature trees. About 0.29 of an acre.
