New development offers traditional village life

The showhome at Charles Church's St Paul's on-the-Green in Haywards Heath opened on 3rd May and attracted many visitors during the sunny Bank Holiday weekend. The Leicester showhome is a three storey, three bedroom family house and is part of this exclusive collection of two bedroom apartments and two, three, four and five bedroom homes set around a traditional village green.

The Leicester features a fully-fitted kitchen with stainless steel double oven, gas hob and extractor hood, integrated fridge/freezer and ceramic floor, cloakroom and living room with French doors opening onto the rear garden. The first floor of this well-designed home comprises two bedrooms, a study and family bathroom while the second floor boasts the master suite complete with en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobe.

All homes at St Paul's on-the-Green feature the high standards associated with this established housebuilder and the highest quality planning and design of this location makes it a lovely place to live. Situated just a few minutes away is the traditional town centre of Haywards Heath with its fine array of shops, including big-name stores and small independent outlets, plus an excellent supermarket. Also nearby is The Broadway, an avenue of tree-lined pavements where you can choose from a cosmopolitan selection of restaurants and pubs. For the more energetic, there is the Haywards Heath Golf Club and the Dolphin Leisure Centre, which boasts three pools, indoor sports facilities and many outdoor pitches.

Haywards Heath is a great area for children, not only for the recreational opportunities, but also for the excellent choice of schools, both local authority and independent ranging from preparatory schools to sixth form colleges.
