Homes in Haywards Heath
Haywards Heath grew as a Victorian railway town, with villas and terraces near the station. Lindfield and Cuckfield have historic village centres with timber-framed and Georgian buildings, many listed.
Franklands Village and Bolnore Village have later estates, the latter a large new-build development. The town sits on Weald Clay and Tunbridge Wells Sand, and mature trees are common. Fast trains to London keep demand high. Prices are high, driven by fast trains to London and Brighton. Many older Victorian villas near the station have been extended or converted into flats. Lindfield is particularly sought-after, with a village pond and a High Street lined with timber-framed and Georgian buildings. Cuckfield has a similar character, with a conservation area.
