An elegant Georgian-style detached house offering over 3,400 sq ft of adaptable family accommodation set within approximately 5.39 acres of lawn and ancient woodland. The house retains high ceilings, large reception rooms and a principal suite with ensuite, giving immediate scope for comfortable family living once modernised. A double garage with a studio flat above and a private driveway with generous parking add useful ancillary accommodation and kerb appeal.
The grounds are a major asset: formal lawns, mature specimen trees and 3.73 acres of classified ancient woodland create privacy and a rural feel while still being within easy reach of Crawley, East Grinstead and Gatwick. Good road and rail links (M23/M25, Gatwick and local stations) make commuting to London and the coast straightforward. There is no onward chain and the property is offered freehold.
The house requires renovation throughout. The central heating is oil-fired, the EPC is G, walls likely lack cavity insulation and broadband speeds are reported as very slow — all factors to budget for. The tennis court and some garden areas need restoration and the property is sold subject to a restrictive covenant limiting the site to a single dwelling. Council Tax (Band G) is high, and services are sold untested.
For a growing family or buyer seeking a country project with scope to reconfigure and add value, this is a rare, private plot with substantial potential. Expect a significant renovation programme and associated costs, but also the opportunity to create a high-spec, secluded home in a very affluent area close to transport and schools.
