So you've got £2.5 million to spend on a house in Lindfield

[Greavsey]

I chuffing hate Lindfield as well. The sooner it is absorbed by Haywards Heath the better (or has it already been?).

 

[Triggaaar]

6 bedrooms, 4 baths, large garden, on the high street, 3500 sq ft

Doesn't look like 3500 sq ft. Not convinced the agent's got that right.

Or- for a hundred grand less (one has to watch those pennies of course)- this seven bedroom manor house in Lingfield.

Lindfield definitely looks a tad overpriced on the evidence of both the ones I've just found.

This any day of the week, buy an aston martin for the drive with the change.

They REALLY like cream and yellow don't they?

I do like a nice location, and it's nice to be in the centre, but christ, at least you can see what your money's bought with the mansion place. Anyway, I've got my eye on the Cuckfield place now.

Is it Nicolas van Hoogstraten's retirement home?

 

[Peter Grummit]

I presume it's a combination of

(1) Rarity. Lindfield village centre. Very popular village, & houses right in the middle can't come up all that often

(2) Big garden

(3) 6 bedrooms

Other than that, it does seem a little overpriced compared to large country houses you could pick up for that money. Plus you'd have to do something with the interior, as I'd hazard a guess that the existing occupants are of pensionable age, and the decor seems a little twee for my taste.

Other factor is proximity to HH station. You can only afford this with wealth, or a City job.

Still overpriced, agreed.

Victorian semi, Hurstpierpoint, needs work, £950k, sold in days before Christmas. Maybe £2.5m for a lovely Lindfield dream 10 mins from HH Station not so bad.

 

[fat old seagull]

For that price, I'd hope there was a Pole Dancing Club in the attic!

 

[Triggaaar]

Other factor is proximity to HH station.

It's not that close to the station, there are plenty of decent houses closer that aren't half the price. Maybe it's as edna said, it's rare so if someone really wants to throw their money away, let them.

Is this the ultimate NSC look at me thread - Triggaars new house?

Too late! NSC's richest poster has already offered over the asking price. Bought as a holiday cottage for his cats, of course.

A couple of houses in Hurstpierpoint, Hassocks Road were sold for about 900,000 and they are knocking them down and building new. They have a view to the Downs and the land behind can't be built on - but still bloody expensive

and they are knocking them down and building new.

How many new?

 

[n1 gull]

Each. Privately bought and just building nicer, newer houses on the plots

Please will you lot stop taking the p**s out of my house on the internet, it is putting buyer's off, thank you.

I'm trying to get the price down.

 

[crasher]

I hate Lindfield.

Lovely historic buildings but full of up-themselves upper middle class Tory tossers pretending it's still a village rather than the posh end of Haywards Heath.

I'm going to fit right in.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

If Edna's looking at houses in this sort of price range then police salaries must have gone up a fair bit recently

Perhaps position of 'mod' on NSC pays more than we expected

 

[KZNSeagull]

Bloody hell. How much is Old Place worth now then I wonder?
