Description
The Cross House, a landmark property in Layer de la Haye, has a rich history dating back to the 1750s when it was part of the Layer Hall Estate. Over the years, the property has undergone extensive alterations, including the addition of outhouse buildings, a porch, boundary wall, sitting room, and verandah. The house has been owned by the same family for over 70 years and features private gardens of an acre and a half. The property has a unique entrance via a porch with an ornate timber door, which leads to a study, impressive hallway, and kitchen. The kitchen, originally the oldest part of the house, has been extended to include a utility room, walk-in larder, and range of boot rooms. The property also features a downstairs w/c, sitting room, and formal dining and drawing rooms. The first floor has a generous T-shaped landing, four double bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, featuring parkland-style gardens, specimen trees, an orchard, kitchen garden, rose garden, and two greenhouses. The property also has extensive outbuildings, including two garages, a stable, workshop, and storage rooms, accessed via Church Road.
