Voted Best South East Village To Live In 2026 by The Sunday Times.

A home surrounded by countryside, yet just a short walk from the heart of Lindfield.

Set on a quiet country lane on the edge of Lindfield, this Edwardian family home offers something increasingly difficult to find; a genuinely semi rural setting, far reaching countryside views and a wonderful sense of space, whilst still being within easy reach of one of Sussex’s most sought-after village communities.

Extending to approximately 1,650 sq ft over three floors, the home provides five bedrooms and a flexible layout that works particularly well for family life. But it is the position that really sets this home apart. From the house and garden, the outlook stretches across the surrounding countryside, towards Sheffield Park and Ashdown Forest in one direction, and towards Ardingly and beyond in another.

This is a home where the countryside is not simply something you can see from the windows, it is part of the everyday experience of living here. The quiet setting of Lyoth Lane, the open views and the feeling of being surrounded by green space give the property a rare sense of peace and separation, whilst the village itself remains close enough to enjoy whenever you choose.

The ground floor has a really good flow, with the sitting room and dining room opened up to create a generous space for both everyday family life and entertaining. Both rooms have stripped wood floors, while the sitting room is centred around an open fire with an exposed brick chimney providing a particularly attractive feature. The dual aspect dining room has its own fireplace and views over the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room is well planned, with plenty of worktop space, a breakfast bar and a good range of integrated appliances, together with a useful pantry. From here, the kitchen flows through to the extension, which provides a versatile playroom, bedroom or study, together with a cloakroom. With doors opening directly onto the garden, this is a particularly useful space for family life.

The first floor provides two bedrooms and the family bathroom. The generous, dual aspect bathroom has a freestanding bath, large walk-in shower and storage with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The principal bedroom has stripped wood flooring, built-in wardrobes and lovely views across the fields towards Sheffield Park and Ashdown Forest.

The loft conversion has been exceptionally well created, providing three further bedrooms across the second floor. Two enjoy far reaching views towards Ardingly and beyond, while the front bedroom has a similar outlook to the principal bedroom.

Outside, the garden has a particularly appealing south-westerly aspect, enjoying sunshine throughout much of the day. The patio and seating area have been thoughtfully positioned to make the most of the evening sun, creating a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the garden at the end of the day, with the surrounding countryside adding to the feeling of space and privacy.

At the end of the garden is a substantial 6m x 4m summerhouse/studio, with additional storage behind for bikes and outdoor equipment. To the front, there is off-road parking for two vehicles, with space for three when required.

A characterful Edwardian home with generous and flexible accommodation, a wonderful semi-rural setting, a south-westerly garden and far reaching countryside views, offering the rare opportunity to enjoy the peace and space of country living, without giving up the community and convenience of Lindfield village.

The local area

The location is a big part of the appeal. Lyoth Lane gives you that rare feeling of being surrounded by countryside, whilst still being within easy reach of the village. The Snowdrop pub is just a short walk away, whilst the bustling High Street is also easily accessible. Lindfield Common is another much loved part of village life. In summer, it’s alive with cricket; in winter, football takes centre stage. The tennis courts offer year-round play, and the open green space is a joy in every season.

The High Street is lined with independent shops, local services and a tempting selection of places to eat and drink. For a cosy pub lunch, The Bent Arms is a favourite, while Le Flamant is ideal for something special. Tamasha, opposite the village pond, offers excellent Indian cuisine, and coffee lovers will feel right at home at Lindfield Coffee Works or The Black Duck.

For families, both Blackthorns Primary and Lindfield Primary sit just across the Common and are within catchment, as is Oathall Community College. Nortlands Primary Academy is within half a mile. Commuters enjoy the best of both worlds here — a peaceful, semi-rural village setting with excellent access to Haywards Heath station. From there, London Bridge and Victoria are around 44 minutes, and Brighton just 20 minutes.

There’s plenty to explore nearby too. National Trust gems such as Wakehurst Place, Nymans Gardens and Sheffield Park are all within easy reach. Brighton lies 15 miles to the south, while a short drive north takes you to Crawley, London Gatwick and the A/M23.

It is a location that genuinely offers the best of both worlds — the peace, privacy and sense of space that comes with living on a quiet country lane, with countryside views in every direction, alongside the community, amenities and transport links of Lindfield close by.
