Whitemans Green, Cuckfield, RH17

PERIOD POTENTIAL This Victorian home boasts lots of potential for extension & modernisation on the sought-after Whitemans Green conservation area, representing a seldom available opportunity to add value.

The House...

An attractive Victorian semi-detached family home that forms part of Halleighs , built by respected local Stephen Knights of Cuckfield. These homes enjoy beautiful views over allotments, towards the Borde Hill Estate and iconic Balcombe Viaduct. The house does now require considerable modernisation but offers huge potential for extension and improvement to create a delightful period home on sought-after Whitemans Green conservation area.

The current accommodation is typical of the Victorian era, with two formal reception rooms on the ground floor. The sitting room has a focal point fire place and bay window, whilst the dining room also has a fireplace and leads through to the kitchen, which in turn opens on to the garden.

On the first floor is the superb master bedroom, which extends across the entire frontage of the house. There is a second double bedroom with views over the garden, third single bedroom and the bathroom.

Further benefits include gas central heating, double glazing and no onward chain. Opportunities to acquire period homes with potential in Cuckfield are seldom available so an early viewing is recommended to avoid disappointment.

Step Outside...

The rear garden is laid mainly to lawn and extends to approximately 80ft with a gate leading through to allotments. There is also an outside lavatory. To the front is a small garden and driveway parking which leads to the garage.

Scope/Potential...

In our opinion, this property offers vast potential with numerous options for extension and/or reconfiguration. There is scope to extend to the rear to create a large, open plan kitchen/dining/family room on to the garden. The loft offers plenty of space for conversion into an impressive master bedroom with en-suite and stunning views. If this work were undertaken, we feel repositioning the bathroom to the rear bedroom and splitting the front bedroom into two separate rooms is the best way to create four bedroom home with spacious bathroom. Any work is subject to any necessary consents.

The Location...
