Description

Step into a home steeped in history and indulge in a lifestyle where opulence meets centuries-old architecture at Crawley Grange, a magnificent country mansion that has justly earned its listing in Pevsner's buildings of England. The East Wing, which is being offered for sale, forms part of a skilful and sympathetic conversion to four dwellings carried out in the 1970s. The property boasts a rich history, having been commissioned by Cardinal Wolsey in the 16th century and entertaining a Royal visitor in 1575 when Queen Elizabeth I dined in what is now the living room. The property also features a secret tunnel connecting it to the village church and was utilized during WWII by the military to accommodate senior officers and house top-secret papers. The property's accommodation is arranged over three floors, featuring high ceilings, mullion windows, and original bell pulls. The property also includes a state-of-the-art kitchen, a study, and four further bedrooms, including the breathtaking "Marie Antoinette" bedroom with its Queen-size bed adorned with Lilieve silk. The property also boasts beautiful landscaped grounds, a tennis court, and a heated swimming pool, as well as exclusive access to footpaths that explore the rural surroundings of the Grange.
