3 bedroom house

Part of a former country house, then a school, The Old Playhouse is a unique property which formed part of the former common room, but is now a fabulous, contemporary styled family home. The light and spacious, open concept sitting/dining room has ceramic tiled flooring, open fire and staircase leading to the galleried landing; a step leads down to a useful study area, with French doors to the private courtyard and path to the private garden. The stunning kitchen boasts bespoke units, integrated appliances, Quooker tap with filtered water, 2 ovens and warming drawer, Bora hob with central extractor fan and underfloor heating. The marble worktop extends to a deep, waterfall breakfast bar. A glazed door provides access to a second, shared courtyard area. The Utility/larder room provides a 2nd freezer and wine chiller along with space for a washer/drier. There is underfloor heating beneath the slate flooring, which extends through to the stylish shower room with Fired Earth stone tiled walls and walk-in, remote controlled shower.
On the first floor, all three bedrooms are dual aspect and have integrated ceiling speakers. The principal bedroom and bedroom 2 have vintage style radiators, whilst bedroom 3 has a bespoke
fitted bed and plentiful eaves storage, including hanging rails and drawers. The family bathroom is fully tiled and provides access to the loft.

The property is located in the pretty village of Warninglid with its pub and the nearby Sussex Weald Way, providing endless walks and linking with the village playground, cricket field and pub. The nearby village of Handcross also has several local shops and a post office, with boutique shops in nearby Cuckfield. The larger towns of Haywards Heath and Horsham lie approximately 5.5 and 7 miles away respectively and offer a comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities, together with mainline train services to London. The A23/M23 provides easy access to Brighton, Gatwick, and the M25 and national motorway network. Sporting and recreational facilities include Wickwoods Country Club, Mannings Heath and Haywards Heath golf clubs, Show Jumping at Hickstead and racing at Brighton and Goodwood. There are a number of excellent schools in the area; notably Handcross Park, Cottesmore, Hurstpierpoint College, Ardingly and Burgess Hill School for Girls.

A pathway from the shared courtyard leads to the delightful private garden of just under 0.5 of an acre, which is mainly laid to lawn, with mature trees and children’s play area, and enclosed by hedging. There is parking available for 2-3 cars in the shared courtyards, and a single garage located within a gated area, just off the entrance driveway.
