Eastern Road, Wivelsfield Green, RH17

If you're looking for a detached character home in a delightful village setting then Maple Cottage in Wivelsfield Green has to be on your shortlist.

Welcome to Maple Cottage

Set in an idyllic village setting, this handsome detached 1930s home offers the perfect blend of character and space, with open countryside directly behind you and a thoughtfully designed layout that works brilliantly for modern living. This really is the epitome of the quintessential village living with a a brilliant village school, cracking pub, two village stores and a thriving community to raise a family. All this whilst still offering easy links to the larger towns of Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and Lewes.

Upon entry you're welcomed by a really generous central hallway. Light pours in from the large half-landing window making this a really inviting and welcoming space.

The living space offers incredible flexibility. To the front is the versatile reception room which is currently used as a dining room but could easily be a lovely sitting room, with pleasing outlook over the front garden. The heart of the home is the through sitting room with large windows overlooking the garden, open fireplace with exposed brick surround and an opening that allows the space to flow into the kitchen.

The kitchen itself extends to 17ft and is fully equipped with an extensive range of pale blue shaker-style cabinetry providing huge storage space, solid wood counters and a range of integrated appliances including Neff double oven and hob, dishwasher, Lamona microwave, fridge and separate fridge/freezer. The separate utility area houses the boiler and provides plumbing for the washing machine

The ground floor also has a cloakroom which has a vaulted ceiling and feature glazed gable.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms and the large family bathroom. The main bedroom has a leafy outlook over the front through the bay window and has full width fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom also overlooks the front and has space to create a small ensuite, if required. The third and fourth bedroom overlook the rear garden and also enjoy built in wardrobes. Each bedroom is served by the large family bathroom with separate bath and shower.

The home has been very well kept, has gas fired central heating and is fully double glazed. It would suit anyone looking for a character home in a peaceful and quintessential village setting.

Step Outside...

To rear you have a superb, level rear garden that extends to 67ft in depth backing on to fields. The large expanse of level lawn is perfect for children to play whilst the paved terrace that sits adjacent to the house and under a pergola is the ideal spot for glass of something chilled on a balmy summer's evening. There is plenty of pretty planting and the raised beds add texture and colour. Gated side access leads to the front where you'll find a pretty front garden with acer and maple trees. Mature beech hedges created separation on the boundaries and there is driveway parking leading to the integral garage.

Scope/Potential

In our opinion there is plenty of scope to extend the ground floor, if required. The garage could easily be converted to create a utility and separate study. There is also space to create a small ensuite on the first floor. Any work is of course subject to any necessary consents.
