Set within roughly three acres of formal gardens and paddock, this former mid-19th-century engine shed combined with a 1970s extension offers 3,187 sq ft of flexible family living. The house has four double bedrooms (two en suite), a large 26 ft kitchen/breakfast room, and a triple-aspect sitting room with vaulted ceilings and a multi-fuel stove, creating a bright, characterful heart to the home.
Practical outbuildings include an over-26 ft double garage and a detached home office/studio with water and electricity — ideal for remote working, hobbies or ancillary use. Landscaped grounds, a long tree-lined drive and panoramic countryside views give the property a secluded, rural feel while remaining part of an established farming community.
There are some practical considerations: the main heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, walls are solid brick with no known internal insulation, and the double glazing install date is unknown. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors make the house well suited to buyers seeking character and space who are prepared to invest in energy upgrades and connectivity improvements.
Local schools are highly regarded, including nearby North Crawley CofE (Good) and Brooklands Farm Primary (Outstanding), supporting family life. For those wanting large gardens, equestrian potential or home working space in a peaceful village setting, this property presents strong long-term potential.
