Description

Built in 2020 and characterised by elegant rendered elevations with red brick detailing and traditional-style casement windows, 5 Norris Lane is a well-presented detached modern family home. The house overlooks light woodland to the front and is situated in a no-through road within Penlands Grange, a desirable residential estate with plenty of green space including four separate play areas, on the northern side of Haywards Heath.

The house offers superbly appointed accommodation arranged over two floors, and is ideally suited to family life, with generous proportions, high ceilings, stylish décor with contemporary fittings throughout, and good storage.   

The ground floor comprises a versatile formal sitting room, ideal for entertaining, and an generous L-shaped kitchen, dining and family room at the rear with French doors opening to the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of contemporary wall-hung and under counter units, with a full height pantry, integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher, two AEG ovens, and a four-ring gas hob with extractor over. The kitchen is served by the adjoining utility room, which has space for the usual appliances and gives access to a cloakroom.   

There are four bedrooms on the first floor, lying off a spacious galleried landing. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room and mirror-fronted fitted wardrobes; the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

Outside, the property has a private driveway to one side of the house, offering parking for two cars, with an electric vehicle charging point mounted on the side of the house. The driveway leads to a detached single garage which has an up and over door, and planning permission for partial conversion to an office/studio.

To the front of the house is a young hedgerow and a small area of lawn; the fully enclosed rear garden has been levelled and re-landscaped, with a spacious patio with space for an outside table and chairs, an artificial lawn, and raised beds.
