Savills Haywards Heath 37 - 39 Perrymount Road, Haywards Heath, West Sussex RH16 3BN 01444 446000 Description Believed to date from the early nineteenth century, Bo-Peep Barn is a beautiful converted flint barn set in a wonderful rural location, nestled at the foot of the and with outstanding far reaching views to the north. At the time of conversion, every care was taken to ensure that the character of the original building was kept; features include partially exposed flint walls, vaulted ceilings and a number of timbers. The full extent of the light and spacious accommodation can be seen on the floor plans, but of particular note is the two storey western wing, with its vaulted dining room, minstrels’ gallery and mezzanine sitting room; attractive double aspect drawing room with three sets of French doors opening to the garden; and the impressive vaulted master bedroom suite over, positioned to take full advantage of the views.

Whilst now in need of some modernisation, the property has the benefit of full planning permission for extension and reconfiguration; the proposed layout further enhancing the far reaching views and best accommodating modern living, with the creation of a super open-plan kitchen and sitting room. Outside The barn forms three sides of a charming courtyard garden, which offers an ideal outdoor seating area; well-sheltered, with a covered open-fronted seating area/store, stone terraces, lawn and a number of rose beds. To the west and north of Bo-Peep Barn are further areas of lawn, including a small kitchen garden with greenhouse and raised beds.

In all, about 0.6 of an acre.
