Historic five-bed Grange with private acre, communal grounds, pool and tennis.
Five bedrooms and six bathrooms across three floors
Crawley Grange East Wing is a very large, historically important country house set within estate-scale grounds in North Crawley. The five-bedroom, six-bathroom layout spans three floors and combines high ceilings, mullion windows, original paneling and a state kitchen with bespoke cabinetry and high-end appliances. Private garden of about one acre is enclosed by mature beech hedging, and residents benefit from resurfaced tennis courts, a heated pool, secure garage, gym and extensive communal parkland.
This home will suit a family seeking character and scope for entertaining, or a buyer wanting a prestige period residence with immediately usable accommodation. Practical comforts include underfloor heating in parts of the house, integrated home cinema and Bang & Olufsen audiovisual systems, internal CCTV and a temperature-controlled former stables area and cellar with illuminated wine wall. A self-contained top-floor suite is useful for staff or guests.
Buyers should note important constraints: the property is listed, which will restrict alterations and may add consent times and costs; the service charge is around £4,800 per year and the council tax is described as quite expensive. Broadband speeds are slow in the area and some ongoing maintenance of a large historic fabric should be expected. Communal facilities (pool, tennis court, grounds) are shared with other residents and some items of historic furnishing are offered as part of the sale.
Viewed candidly, Crawley Grange offers rare historic character, extensive private and communal outdoor space and a high-spec central living environment — balanced by the responsibilities, costs and regulatory limits that come with a listed country estate.
