Description
1 Crays Farm comprises a handsome attached historic period, but not Listed, house with mellow part stone and Horsham roofed elevations with later brick and tile additions. The house affords accommodation of great charm and character with many period features including part exposed beams, timber or stone flooring whilst including modern kitchen with Aga and oil-central heating.
Approached by a private electric gated entrance drive initially shared with the neighbouring 2 Crays Farm, the drive ends in a sweep in front of the house and to the side of the stabling with garaging/storage with path leading to the front door. This opens into the welcoming reception hall with potential study area and with doors leading off to the good size and double aspect sitting room with fine inglenook fireplace and South facing bay window. The part vaulted roofed dining room has a pretty outlook over the garden including French doors leading out and with cloaks/shower room off whilst the kitchen/breakfast room includes a good range of fitted units with oil-fired Aga, pretty South facing outlook from the sink and over the garden and with the useful utility room/rear porch off with back door to the garden and oil-fired boiler. To the first floor, there are four bedrooms with family bathroom including bath and separate shower and mezzanine study area from the main bedroom.
From the entrance drive there is the main 4-box stable yard plus garage and store and with moveable 4 stalls behind and home paddock to the front adjoining the drive. Beyond the attractive gardens with mature planting and specimen trees is the 40m x 20m sand school with poultry run area to one side and the attractive Nightingale Wood plantation behind. The core part of the property extends to c. 4.44 acres (1.80 Ha) as shown on the plan and with an additional field to the South-West extending to c. 1.15 acres available by separate consideration. For those seeking additional land there is neighbouring land in separate ownership which may potentially be available by separate negotiation.
