The entrance hall sets the scene for the house, with its
striking oak panelling and oak floor. Leading off the hall
are both a generous snug with an open fireplace and a
dual-aspect sitting room, with a large stone fireplace and
oak panelled chimney breast, then a triple aspect formal
dining room.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range
of solid oak and hand-painted cabinets with granite
worktops, a range oven and spaces for both a breakfast
table and further appliances.
Beyond the kitchen are a number of useful service
rooms, including a boot room with a door to the garden, a laundry room with a chute from the first floor, and a
ground floor shower room; the boot room also provides
internal access to the integral garaging.
A cloakroom lying off the entrance hall completes the
ground floor living accommodation.
There are five bedrooms on the first floor, one with
an adjoining playroom or sixth bedroom, all served by a
spacious family bathroom and separate shower room.
The principal suite is magnificent and such space and
size rarely seen, accessed from the main landing via a
study area and comprising a stunning vaulted bedroom
with vast French oak timbers, a dressing room with
fitted storage, and a superbly appointed bathroom with
classic-style suite including a roll-top bath, separate
shower cubicle and twin basins.
An oak staircase leads to a large, versatile mezzanine
which could be used as an office or private sitting room.
Outside
Little Birch House is approached via a sweeping, tree-lined gravel driveway which opens to a
generous parking area ahead of the house and
garaging. The garage forms the ground floor of
the modern wing of the house and is very well
appointed, with twin electronically operated
doors, an adjoining workshop, and a hatch
opening to a large wine cellar.
To the front of the house is a large expanse
of well-tended lawn with rose beds and mature
trees, very well screened to the southern boundary
by a bank of mature hedging and trees. There is
gated access to the rear garden, which has been
attractively landscaped in the style of an elegant
symmetrical knot garden, with well-stocked and
colourful flower beds, box, sections of lawn, and
stone pathways.
Situation
Little Birch House is situated in a private and well-enclosed setting on the eastern edge of Haywards Heath, within easy reach of the town centre and only 1.7 miles (about 5 minutes by car) from the mainline railway station. Fast trains from Haywards Heath to London Victoria and London Bridge approximately 46 minutes.
Schooling:
The area is well known for its plethora of excellent schools with the local schools being Warden Park and Oathall and the private sector offers Great Walstead approximately 5 minutes away by car, Cumnor House, Ardingly, Worth, Hurst College and Burgess Hill School For Girls
