Mount Close, Crawley, RH10

Individually designed and built approximately 60 years ago, this substantial four double bedroom detached property offers a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to put their own stamp on a much-loved family home. In the exclusive setting of one of Crawley’s most sought-after residential locations, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a property with considerable scope and potential, and with the significant benefit of no onward chain.

The accommodation extends to approximately 1,937 square feet (180 square metres) over two floors and currently provides four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, two principal reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with separate utility space, entrance hall with downstairs cloakroom, and a particularly useful double garage.

There is an appealing sense of space on the ground floor, with the entrance hall providing a central hub to the accommodation. Of particular note is the original parquet flooring, which provides an attractive reminder of the period and original design. The entrance hall also benefits from a downstairs cloakroom and an unusually substantial storage cupboard, historically used by the family as a 'sewing room'. This is a particularly versatile space and could lend itself to a variety of uses depending upon the requirements of the next owner.

The kitchen/breakfast room sits alongside the separate dining room, whilst the generous living room enjoys views towards the garden. There is access to the garden via the dining room or the rear porch, which connects the kitchen to a useful separate utility area.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms, all with built in wardrobes, together with a family bathroom and separate shower room, providing a practical arrangement for family life. There is also access to the airing cupboard and loft, for essential storage.

One of the property's most compelling features is the exceptionally generous rear garden, with a broad expanse of lawn framed by mature trees, established hedging and a variety of shrubs and planting. The garden provides an unusual degree of space, privacy and seclusion, creating an almost park-like setting behind the house. There is ample room for entertaining, children's play, gardening and relaxation, while the mature landscaping gives the property a wonderful sense of established character. Storage is provided by way of an external brick shed.

To the front, the property is approached via a generous driveway providing excellent off-road parking and leading to the double garage. The established front garden and mature planting provide a good degree of screening from the road.

Whilst perfectly habitable, the property would now benefit from updating and offers an exciting opportunity for purchasers looking to create a home tailored to their own requirements. There is also considerable potential to extend, including the possibility of building above the existing double garage, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

The location is particularly convenient for Three Bridges mainline railway station, which is approximately a 15-minute walk, providing fast and frequent services towards London and the South Coast. The nearby Pound Hill shopping parade provides a useful selection of everyday amenities, including shops, restaurants and a public house.  There are also a number of well-regarded schools in the surrounding area, while Crawley town centre offers a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and recreational facilities. Gatwick Airport and the M23 motorway are also readily accessible, making the location particularly attractive to commuters and families alike.
