Chapman Way

Description

This property, conveniently located a short distance from Haywards Heath town center, is perfect for first-time buyers and commuters due to its proximity to the mainline train station. The property features a parking space, kitchen, lounge/diner, bathroom, en suite, and two double bedrooms.

Steeped in rich history and originally designed by Henry Edward Kendall Jr. in the mid-19th century, Southdowns Park has undergone a fascinating evolution. Initially intended as an institutional establishment, it later served as a hospital in the early 20th century following the founding of the NHS after the war. However, its narrative took a turn in the late 1980s to 1995 when the property experienced a period of decline, only to be revitalized into a vibrant residential community in 1998, offering an array of houses and apartments.

This landmark development features a host of amenities for residents, including a communal on-site gym, tennis court, swimming pool, ample off-road parking for both residents and visitors, and meticulously maintained communal gardens boasting uninterrupted views across the South Downs.

Conveniently situated just a stone’s throw away from Haywards Heath town center, this property offers easy access to an array of amenities such as local shops, pubs, and restaurants, catering to both leisure and essential shopping needs. Its close proximity to Princess Royal Hospital, nestled around the corner, is a significant advantage for commuters and hospital staff. Moreover, the nearby Haywards Heath train station, located at the town’s base, provides direct connections to Brighton in a mere 15 minutes and London in under an hour. Educational facilities in the vicinity include Saint Wilfrid’s C of E Primary School, Warden Park, and Haywards Heath College, with an on-site Nursery just across the way.

Upon entering the property, situated on the first floor and sharing a communal entrance with four other residences on this level, you’re welcomed by a spacious hallway adorned with two sizable storage cupboards to the left. Continuing along, a generously proportioned double bedroom awaits, featuring a bright and airy floor-to-ceiling window.

The family bathroom is well-appointed with a bath, shower, and sink, offering ample space for additional bathroom furnishings. The expansive lounge/diner spans 17 feet, providing abundant space for a generously sized dining table and seating area.

Accessible from the lounge/diner is the modern kitchen, complete with built-in oven, 4-gas ring hob, double basin sink, and provisions for a dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge/freezer. The master bedroom offers another spacious double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom comprising a walk-in shower cubicle, sink, and toilet.

Notably, this property also includes the added convenience of its own designated parking space and a lengthy 111 year lease.
