A home with a famous connection

Fox & Sons are marketing a rare Grade II listed property in Haywards Heath designed by renowned architect Berthold Lubetkin, a Russian born émigré who championed modernism in mid-20th century Britain and whose projects included the design of the penguin pool and gorilla house at London Zoo as well as many landmark housing projects.

The detached three bedroom home in Sunnywood Drive is one of eight houses built together in what is described as "International modern style". Interesting original features include a flat roof, cement window boxes and front windows which extend across the width of the house on the ground floor.

In addition to the dual aspect lounge, there is a separate dining room with sliding door leading to a magnificent west facing garden, over 100 ft long and mainly laid to lawn edged with mature trees and shrubs. The kitchen has a range of fitted units as well as an integral fridge, electric fan oven and gas hob. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobes and a bathroom with electric shower as well as a bath. In addition to a garage there is off road parking on driveways at both sides of the property.

"This is a rare opportunity to buy a real character home in a desirable area close to the town centre," says Fox & Sons Branch Manager Jonathan Lloyd. "What's more it is offered with no onward chain."
