Beautifully Designed Homes: Haywards Heath, West Sussex, RH16
Discover this magnificent six bedroom home in a former Victorian chapel.
An extraordinary harmony of heritage and contemporary elegance, this magnificent home which was formerly the chapel of a Victorian convent dating back to 1886, has been exquisitely restored and reimagined into a stunning six-bedroom family residence, extending to over 5,400 sq.ft. Tucked away within the serene and landscaped grounds of Grosvenor Hall, yet just a 15-minute walk from Haywards Heath station, it perfectly balances historic charm, modern sophistication, and a highly convenient location.
Stepping through the original arched front door, you enter a world where soaring vaulted ceilings, exquisite stonework, and grand proportions evoke the timeless beauty of historic architecture, now seamlessly complemented by modern luxury and thoughtful design.
One of the many “wow” features of this remarkable home awaits, a dramatic vaulted ceiling and a striking feature staircase. At its heart, a newly installed log burner with a 14-metre flue (installed Summer 2024) radiates warmth throughout the core of the home, creating a captivating focal point and a cosy space to sit and relax.
The kitchen/family room impresses with 4-metre high ceilings and expansive windows, enhancing the sense of grandeur and luxury. The bespoke kitchen is fitted with Miele appliances, a triple-oven electric AGA and patio doors opening onto the private south-facing garden. The living room is equally impressive, featuring charming window seats, original wooden shutters and an open stone character fireplace, creating a warm and inviting space.
Arranged over two further floors, the property provides six bedrooms and four beautifully appointed bathrooms, each with underfloor heating and tastefully designed to complement the home’s historic character. From the first floor, the impressive landing leads to the principal suite, housed within the former chapel and showcasing the breathtaking 8-metre vaulted ceilings, original hand-painted ceiling from 1886, and magnificent stained-glass windows.
The private south-facing rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and framed by mature planting, creating a peaceful haven. Within the private garden, there is a delightful wood-chipped play area with a sunken trampoline, raised vegetable beds, arch roses, a wood store, and a greenhouse.
The wider communal grounds are approximately nine acres, together with an ancient bluebell woodland, providing a tranquil and exclusive setting. The property is approached via large electric gates on a no-through road, with a private driveway leading to the home, garage, allocated and guest parking.
