Overview

Turks Croft is a fabulous 16th century family residence offering excellent, flexible living accommodation throughout, set on a fantastic, private plot of approximately an acre. We believe this spacious character home will appeal to buyers searching for the perfect mix of countryside living and easy access to both Crawley town centre and London.

An impressive porch and heavy oak door provides access to a double aspect family room which boasts a beautiful feature Inglenook fireplace housing a cast iron wood burning stove. There is a utility room to the side which comprises bespoke oak frame unit with work top and sink, free standing enclosed washing machine and dryer, and access to a cloakroom. Another wonderful Inglenook open fireplace provides the perfect focal point for the spacious, double aspect formal sitting room which boasts a discreet fitted bar. The dining room is of impressive proportions with high coved ceilings and space for a substantial dining table and chairs. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of oak wall and base units with granite work surfaces over. It benefits from a range of integrated appliances including a five ring gas hob with fitted microwave under, double sink, fridge and separate freezer, twin built-in double oven/ grill and a door to the sizable walk-in larder. There is also space for a dining table and a door opening to the rear seating terrace.

A spacious galleried landing provides access to the first floor accommodation. The spacious, double aspect principal bedroom benefits from a balcony overlooking the garden, a wall of fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom. Bedrooms two and three are also both double aspect and have fitted wardrobes and ensuite bathrooms. The fourth bedroom is a spacious double and there are two further bedrooms with one currently set up as a gym and the other a home study. A family bathroom completes this floor.
