Full Details

Greenaway Residential Crawley are delighted to bring to the open market for the very first time since its construction this uniquely situated three or four bedroom detached property. Located within the peaceful grounds of the Surrey and Sussex Crematorium and accessed via the main entrance off Balcombe Road, this home offers a rare blend of complete privacy, expansive gardens, and fantastic expansion potential with no onward chain.

Arriving at the property, a large, mature front garden framed by established trees sets a peaceful tone, alongside a gravel driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The home features an integrated extended garage with an up-and-over door, power, light, and high ceilings, offering ample space for parking or excellent potential to convert into an additional reception room, subject to the necessary consents.

Inside, the ground floor opens through a double-glazed front door into a bright, welcoming hallway complete with handy under-stairs coat and shoe storage. To the rear, the comfortable lounge enjoys views over the private garden and centers around a focal fireplace with an electric fire and traditional chimney. Adjacent to the lounge, the dining room features wood-effect flooring, dual-aspect windows to the front and side, stairs rising to the first floor, and French doors leading into a glass-roofed UPVC conservatory. Fully equipped with lighting, power, wood-effect flooring, and direct garden access, the conservatory provides a light-filled space to unwind year-round. The fully fitted kitchen comes equipped with a range of wall and base units, wood-toned worktops, splashback tiling, a built-in oven with a gas hob and stainless steel extractor hood, and dedicated space for a dishwasher, washing machine, and full-height fridge freezer.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing provides access to a built-in airing cupboard and loft storage. The dual-aspect master bedroom opens directly into a dedicated walk-in dressing room with its own window and storage, which could easily function as a fourth bedroom, nursery, or home office. Two additional well-proportioned bedrooms enjoy lovely green views across the surrounding landscape. The level is completed by a part-tiled family bathroom with a white bath and overhead shower, glass screen, low-level W.C., pedestal wash hand basin, frosted window, and wall-mounted vanity storage. Externally, the generous rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a paved patio, backing directly onto serene woodland and the beautifully maintained 13-acre crematorium grounds.

Situated on the borders of Pound Hill and Forge Wood, the property combines its tucked-away, tranquil setting with extraordinary everyday convenience. A short stroll brings you to the historic 16th-century Heathy Farm pub and restaurant, while nearby Worth Park Gardens offers picturesque Victorian grounds, a lake, and tennis courts. Everyday shopping needs are met by the local parade and Co-op in Pound Hill, with Crawley town centre and the County Mall Shopping Centre just 3.4 miles away. Families will appreciate the proximity to highly regarded local schools, including Forge Wood Primary, Pound Hill Infant and Junior Academies, and Hazelwick Secondary School. Transport connections are exceptional; the local Metrobus Route 3 stops close by for direct trips to Crawley and Gatwick, while commuters are just 2.1 miles from Three Bridges station for direct mainline trains into London Victoria and London Bridge. Gatwick Airport is a swift 3-mile drive, and instant access to Junction 10 of the M23 places both London and the South Coast within easy reach.
