This four-bedroom detached house on Gales Drive sits on a large, gated plot and offers generous family accommodation across two floors. The layout includes a spacious lounge open to dining space, a garden room/study, integral garage and a wide block-paved driveway providing secure off-street parking. The primary bedroom benefits from an en-suite and there is scope to extend further subject to relevant planning permissions.
Practical strengths include double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, mains services and fast broadband and mobile coverage. The property is offered with no onward chain, making it suitable for buyers who want a relatively quick move. The rear garden is enclosed and mainly lawned, with patio, sheds and greenhouse — good for family outdoor use.
Important considerations are factual: the area records a very high crime rate and council tax is described as expensive, both factors to weigh for budgeting and security. The property was constructed in the late 1960s–1970s with cavity walls assumed to have no insulation — upgrading insulation and energy systems would improve comfort and running costs (EPC currently D with potential improvement). Restrictive covenants limit non-residential use and trade vehicle parking on the site.
Overall this is a well-proportioned family home in a convenient location close to Three Bridges station, Crawley town centre and major road links. It will suit a family looking for space, parking and extension potential, or an investor/owner willing to carry modest improvement works to increase energy efficiency and finish.
