Crawley Down, West Sussex

This individual detached 17th Century 5 bedroom home has a wealth of period features including open fireplaces and many exposed timbers. In its more recent history, the property has been sympathetically extended to create a delightful family home.

The house is approached by a private lane, which also leads to a double garage with studio/annexe above and a pool changing room to the rear.

The mature and established gardens are a particular feature with outdoor pool, adjacent summerhouse and breeze house. Beyond the secluded gardens, there is a paddock which can be accessed separately.
