Attractive 1930s detached house in the village centre.
Description
Understood to date from 1938, Appletrees is an attractive double-fronted red brick detached house, situated in an established and sought-after residential road in the heart of Crawley Down village. Extending to over 1,700 square feet, the full extent of which can be seen on the floor plan, the house is arranged over two floors and is clearly a comfortable family home, with attractive period features including both working and feature fireplaces, original 1930s doors, picture rails and square bay windows in the rooms to the front.
There are four versatile reception rooms on the ground floor. To the front of the house is a cosy reception room with an original tiled fireplace; the sitting room and a dining room which share a double-sided woodburning stove, and a large conservatory adjoins the rear of the house, overlooking the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and features a two-oven Aga, with an additional Rangemaster oven and gas hob; it has a clay tiled floor and space for a central breakfast table. A small lean-to utility room, a cloakroom and a further adaptable room which has been used as a playroom, bar and multi-gym, complete the ground floor.
There are four bedrooms on the first floor, bedroom one with fitted wardrobes and a charming feature fireplace, and bedroom four currently used as a study. The bedrooms are served by a newly re-fitted family bathroom with suite including a spa bath with dual-outlet shower over.
Appletrees is accessed from Vicarage Road via a gated block paved driveway, which offers parking for two or three cars ahead of the attached single garage. There is an area of lawn to the front of the house, well screened by mature shrubs.
The secluded, south-east facing rear garden is of particular note, extending in length to about 140 feet, offering scope for further extension (subject to the necessary consents).
A paved patio lies adjacent to the house, from which a climber-clad archway opens to an expanse of level lawn, enclosed by mature hedging. In all, about 0.22 of an acre.
Location
Appletrees is situated in a residential road in the centre of Crawley Down, which provides for day to day needs with a small supermarket, general store, two restaurants, butcher, hairdresser, dentist, health centre and a primary school.
Comprehensive shopping: Both Crawley and East Grinstead have an excellent range of shopping facilities. Further shopping facilities are at Tunbridge Wells, Horsham and Brighton.
