Guide Price £1.5m - £1.6m No onward chain. Welcome to Wishfields Set behind gates on Portsmouth Lane, Lindfield, Wishfields is a substantial detached house that has been comprehensively reimagined and extended by creating a home of impressive scale, fluidity and finish. Behind its handsome, tile-hung elevations and broad block-paved driveway lies what is, in many practical respects, an almost new house: thoughtfully remodelled with new electrics, plumbing and windows, and finished to a notably high standard throughout. The accommodation extends to approximately 2,909 sq ft, rising to around 3,875 sq ft including the triple garage, studio above and separate garden gym. Positioned within easy reach of Lindfield’s village centre and around a 20-minute walk from Haywards Heath station, the house offers a rare combination of village life, excellent connectivity and chain-free ease. Let Me Entertain You The house has been designed with modern family life very much in mind. A generous entrance hall sets the tone, with elegant wall panelling, herringbone flooring and a calm, cohesive palette that runs throughout the house. From here, the principal reception spaces unfold with both clarity and flexibility. To the front, a well-proportioned sitting room provides a more traditional retreat, while an adjoining TV room offers an excellent snug, playroom or secondary sitting room. These more intimate spaces are balanced by the spectacular open-plan living area at the rear, where the house opens out into its true centrepiece: a 33 ft kitchen / dining / reception room (33'7 x 33'1). This is a room designed for gathering — expansive yet legible, equally suited to family breakfasts, large dinners, children spilling in from the garden or quieter evenings at home. A further sitting area, with bespoke joinery, creates softness within the open plan, while wide openings and glazed doors bring in light and allow the house to flow easily out to the terrace. For those who work from home, the separate study will surely appeal. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, giving the spaces a clean, uncluttered feel and an added layer of comfort. Heart of the Home The kitchen has been conceived as the heart of the house: generous, beautifully finished and highly functional. Painted cabinetry in a soft muted tone is paired with quartz worktops and a large central island with seating, creating an easy focal point for everyday life and informal entertaining. A range cooker anchors one wall, while excellent storage and integrated appliances are woven neatly into the design. The dining area sits naturally alongside, beneath rooflights and close to folding doors opening onto the terrace, allowing the space to work particularly well for hosting. In warmer months, the inside and out read almost as one continuous entertaining space. Beyond, a separate utility room keeps the practicalities of family life tucked away from the main living spaces. Sleep & Soak The first floor is arranged with the same emphasis on space and usability. There are five bedrooms in total, served by a smart combination of bath and shower rooms, as well as the considerable advantage of a separate laundry room on the bedroom floor. The principal bedroom is especially generous at 19'2 x 14'2, with a calm, polished feel with walk in dressing room and a luxurious en suite bathroom. Juliette balcony overlooks the garden. Elsewhere, the bedrooms are all well-sized and thoughtfully arranged with a separate dressing room ursery sixth bedroom. The bathrooms have been finished with care, combining classic detailing with contemporary fittings, and give the bedroom floor the feeling of a house made not only for family occupation, but for comfortable long-term living. For a growing family, the first floor offers flexibility and room to evolve; for downsizers seeking quality and ease, it provides comfort without compromise. Step Outside Outside, Wishfields continues to excel. The gated approach and broad forecourt create a strong sense of arrival, with parking for numerous vehicles and access to a triple garage extending to approximately 745 sq ft. Above the garage is a large studio of around 22ft, offering superb ancillary space for a home office, creative studio, consulting room or guest overflow, subject to need. To the rear, the garden has been thoughtfully arranged for both family life and entertaining. A broad terrace wraps the back of the house and provides ample space for outdoor dining and sitting, while the lawn beyond offers room for play and relaxation. A particularly useful side garden laid to astro turf has been designed with children in mind and lends itself brilliantly to year-round football and active use, whatever the season. There is also a separate garden studio / gym of approximately 18'1 x 11'11, ideal as a fitness room, private office or hobby space. Mature screening and smart landscaping give the outside space a sense of privacy and enclosure, while the
