8 bedroom house

Crosby Court is an impressive period Grade II listed house dating from the mid to late 18th century and 19th century. It is set in an elevated position with far-reaching views, in the centre of delightful gardens and grounds including extensive parkland and woodland. Constructed of brick under a slate roof the house has a number of impressive period features including fine principal reception rooms, elegant fireplaces, polished wooden floors, panelled doors and ornate carved cornices. The main entrance to the house is by the 19th century white brick elevation, through a central four panel door in a moulded stone architrave, under an oval window under a console-bracketed cornice.

Comprising well-proportioned principal reception rooms, there are breath-taking views from the majority of the rooms. From the reception hall a door leads to the large drawing room, with its double aspect and bay window it is a very light room. On the opposite side of the reception hall is the kitchen/breakfast room, with central island and AGA. The staircase hall is double height with a stained glass roof light. Other principal rooms include the dining room, garden room, study and library. Further rooms on the ground floor include a second kitchen/utility room, maid's kitchen and sitting room, playroom and stores.

Crosby Court is approached by a long tree lined drive with lawned edges, with a spur off to the cottages and farm building, culminating in a large turning circle to the front of the main house. A separate drive leads off the tuning circle to Crosby Court Annexe.

The gardens are predominantly lawned with Yorkstone paving on the south and west facing terraces with yew and laurel hedging. To the rear of the house, there are small garden 'rooms' with box hedging. On walking to the swimming pool and tennis court there is a Japanese garden and ornamental pond. The garden has Victorian greenhouses and there are gates out to the parkland, which surrounds the house and grounds, with mature and maturing parkland trees.
