A bright top-floor apartment in the award-winning, Grade II listed Southdowns Park, offered chain-free and ready to move into. The open-plan living room and modern fitted kitchen benefit from generous natural light and a dual-aspect layout; two double bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom and separate cloakroom make this a practical home for first-time buyers or downsizers. An oversized loft provides useful storage and the property includes an allocated off-street parking space (No.106).
Southdowns Park is a distinctive Victorian conversion set in well-kept communal gardens with on-site facilities including a gym, social club, tennis, and an indoor pool. The development’s secure entry, concierge services and attractive communal spaces add convenience and a sense of community, with Haywards Heath town centre and mainline station close by for commuters.
Important practical points: the building is Grade II listed, which can restrict alterations and may complicate certain works or permissions. The flat is leasehold with around 94 years remaining; service charges are significant at about £2,574.28 pa (including communal facilities and sinking fund) and ground rent is £150 pa. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, though mobile signal is excellent and crime levels are very low.
Overall this is a low‑maintenance, characterful apartment that suits buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in home with communal amenities and good transport links. It will particularly appeal to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors who value location, onsite facilities and secure allocated parking, but buyers should factor in lease length, listed-status restrictions and ongoing service charges.
