Features and description
- Freehold
This Grade II listed semi-detached home is a prime example of modernist architecture and enjoys an incredibly convenient location in central Haywards Heath. There is granted planning permission for a sizeable rear extension and a fabulous 150ft west facing garden. No onward chain.
The Home...
Designed by renowned Soviet architect Berthold Lubetkin - the pioneer of the modernist design movement of the 1930s - is this Grade II listed semi-detached home which sits in an established residential area to the south of Victoria Park in central Haywards Heath. This enclave of modernist homes are believed to have been built in 1936, are unique to the area and would be incredibly interesting to a purchaser keen on the Art Deco period due to its wealth of retained features.
The home maintains many original 1930s features, including Crittall windows and internal doors, and a distinctive curved concrete staircase, all set within a practical layout spread over two floors and nearly 960 sq ft of living space.
The interior is straightforward and functional, with a clear emphasis on maximising space and light, particularly evident in the rectilinear design of the windows, with plantation shutters, which enhance the natural light throughout the home. The primary living rooms are organised in an open-plan layout. Original floorboards run underfoot, and a modern log burner sits centrally providing the natural focal point. This space interconnects seamlessly with the dining room via the 1930s bi-folding doors whilst large Crittall doors frame lovely views of the garden.
The kitchen is well-appointed and modern, offering all the necessary amenities for daily life. The original bell system remains intact and a door leads to the upper terrace and gardens beyond.
The curved staircase is a defining architectural feature, creating a sense of volume with a skylight bathing the space in a natural light.
On the first floor each of the bedrooms is a double and are served by the family bathroom.
Scope/Potential...
Excitingly, there is granted planning permission and listed building consent (ref: DM/24/0457) to demolish the existing garage and extend the house at the rear to create a new ground-floor kitchen/breakfast room, a utility with cloakroom, and a home office.
Step Outside...
Outside, you are spoilt with a fabulous 150 ft west facing garden, providing ample space that is well stocked with established and pretty flowers, plants and shrubbery with a pleasing wooded backdrop. There is a garage and a garden studio providing handy storage .
At the foot of the garden there is an additional outhouse houses a brick-built, wood-fired oven.
Gated side access leads to the driveway parking and small front garden.
The History
This home forms part of a small enclave of eight homes built in 1936 by Lubetkin & Tecton. The client had challenged Lubetkin to design & build homes for ordinary people as opposed to the wealthy clients Tecton usually built for. Other notable works Lubetkin worked on were Highpoint housing complex, London Zoo penguin pool, Finsbury Health Centre and Spa Green Estate.
The Location...
