Set on an elevated site on the edge of North Crawley, The Old Rectory is a grand Georgian/Victorian residence occupying about 7.5 acres of formal gardens, paddock, arboretum and mature woodland. The house offers exceptionally large principal rooms, high ceilings, sash windows, decorative mouldings and several working fireplaces — character features that suit a family seeking heritage and space. A full-width kitchen/family room and extensive reception rooms make the home easy to live in and excellent for entertaining.
The estate includes plentiful outbuildings, garaging, a converted former stable block providing two self-contained one‑bed cottages, and an En Tout Cas Savannah tennis court tucked into a sheltered treed enclave. Grounds are a standout: walled kitchen garden, pond, greenhouse and paddock (about 2.5–2.7 acres) give scope for horses, paddocks, gardening projects or separate staff/let accommodation.
Buyers should note material running costs and upkeep associated with a property of this age and size. Council tax is described as very expensive; heating, maintenance of extensive grounds, outbuildings and older fabric will be ongoing considerations. Some fittings and appliances are stated as not guaranteed to be in full working order and lower-ground cellars and extensive services may need inspection or updating.
This house will appeal to a family or buyer wanting significant land, heritage character and ancillary accommodation. It’s also suited to those looking for an opportunity to modernise services and landscaping while retaining impressive period detail and wide-ranging rural views.
