This Grade II listed detached barn conversion occupies a large, secluded plot on a quiet close yet remains within easy walking distance of Haywards Heath station. The house is full of rustic character—exposed oak beams, solid wood flooring, and a double-height vaulted living room with expansive glazing create a memorable central space for daily life and entertaining. The plot includes a south-facing garden, mature hedging and oaks, plus a double carport and parking for several vehicles.
Accommodation is flexible: five bedrooms and two bathrooms are arranged over multiple levels, with two ground-floor bedrooms or reception rooms useful for guests, home working, or adaptable family needs. The country-style kitchen links to a practical utility and direct outside access. The property benefits from recent investment to the roof (new in 2022), double glazing fitted post-2002, and underfloor heating from a boiler.
Important practical points and constraints are clear: the house’s listed status and a Tree Preservation Order will restrict alterations and can cause additional consent requirements and costs. Fuel-supply information is inconsistent in the paperwork (LPG noted in one section; mains gas referenced elsewhere) — this should be checked. Council Tax is Band G and running costs are likely higher than average for a home of this size.
This home will suit buyers who value character, privacy and commuter convenience — families and professionals who can accept listed-building responsibilities and appreciate a large, sheltered garden. It also offers scope for sympathetic reconfiguration where permitted by the listing, rewarding careful refurbishment rather than large-scale remodelling.
