Features and description
A UNIQUE BARN-STYLE CONVERSION OFFERING FLEXIBLE CONTEMPORARY LIVING SPACE WITH PRIVATE GARDENS AND RECREATIONAL PADDOCKS OF THREE ACRES WITHIN THE HISTORIC SETTING OF CRAWLEY GRANGE.
Approached via a tree-lined driveway The Engine House enjoys a tranquil setting within the parkland and countryside offering the benefit of privacy without isolation.
Presented in ready-to-move-into condition, the house is particularly light with many dual aspect rooms having views over the garden. The accommodation is ideal for modern family living or as a secure second home if you travel abroad. Features include a 7.9m x 4m kitchen/family room with an adjacent and spacious 6.6m x 6.5m sitting room which forms the heart of the house. For home working or relaxation an additional family room is combined with a large conservatory and is conveniently situated to create a “wing” for visiting guests or children returning home. There are four double bedrooms with an impressive principal suite having its own dressing room with bath and shower room, whilst two of the additional bedrooms both have ensuite facilities.
Moving outside, a good size private and gated parking area leads to a large double garage. The gardens offer a good degree of privacy and all year colour with shaped hedgerows and mature trees set amongst good size lawns along with a sun-trap walled courtyard for barbecues and outdoor entertaining. Within the garden the owners have erected a bespoke and quality double glazed home office/studio which has water and electricity.
Completing the property, a 2.5 acre paddock is fully fenced and offers an excellent recreational area for children or for country activities and equine interests.
A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the unique setting, space and versatility on offer at The Engine House
THE HISTORY
Built in 1545 for Cardinal Wolsey, Crawley Grange is an impressive Grade II Listed Tudor Mansion, set in approximately 65 acres of formal gardens, parkland and paddocks. It is believed that Queen Elizabeth I resided at the property during the Royal Progress in 1575 and is featured in Pevsner’s Buildings of England.

A welcoming hall leads to ground floor accommodation with the family room and conservatory to the right hand side and two double bedrooms. One bedroom has an ensuite and the other a Jack and Jill ensuite facility with the family bathroom.

A further double bedroom offers a pleasant view over the garden and with convenient access to the rear courtyard, the utility room is fitted with units, storage cupboard and a sink unit.
A small flight of steps rise to the first floor and landing area which has a handy cloakroom and cloaks storage cupboard.

Integrated appliances include a Neff double ovens, hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge freezer and wine cooler.
