Description

Huntsland House is an imposing unlisted period property which has recently been sympathetically rebuilt internally to modern standards with underfloor heating throughout, insulated floors, walls, and roof, double glazed windows, pneumatic lift, three phase electricity, fire detector system, and CCTV. Original features include wooden shutters, high ceilings, and a Regency cantilevered spiral stone staircase with dome. This amazing property is located in the rural setting and very conveniently located - only 10 minutes from Gatwick Airport, but without aircraft noise as it is not on a flight path. The train from Gatwick to London Victoria only takes 30 minutes, or alternatively trains to London Bridge, Victoria, and Brighton are also available from the nearby Three Bridges station. Internal accommodation extends to approximately 10,000 square feet with six bedroom, seven bathrooms, and eight reception rooms including snooker table. The house is set within three acres of garden which include a four-bay garage, tractor shed, recently dredged lake, and indoor heated swimming pool. Huntsland House was built for entertaining. With a ballroom, snooker room, cinema room, gym, wine cellar, pneumatic lift, covered swimming pool, garden party lawn, and recently dredged lake, this is a building designed to impress. With 6/9 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and a 4 bay garage, it provides ideal accommodation for family or for friends visiting over long weekends. It is a fabulous example of Georgian and Victorian architecture with an imposing facade and distinct internal features such as symmetrical bay windows, original wooden shutters, and a cantilevered spiral stone staircase. The house has recently been renovated with new wiring, new plumbing, engineered oak floors, modern standards of insulation, and underfloor heating throughout. The house is located high on a ridge with fantastic views across the unspoilt Sussex countryside, and is surrounded by approximately three acres of garden which include an enviable collection of mature copper beech, oak, and yew trees. It is accessed via the private lane of the former Huntsland Estate, on the outskirts of Crawley Down village which has local amenities such as shops, post office, pharmacy, doctor, surgery, and a dentist. The larger town centres of Crawley and East Grinstead are approximately 6 miles away, and nearly private schools include Brambletye, Ardingly College and Worth School. The local area includes a number of National Trust properties such as Standen, Nymans, and Sheffield Park, together with other significant gardens such as Wakehurst Place, High Beeches, Borde Hill, and Leonardslee. Dining out is available at a number of local country house hotels such as Alexander House and Gravetye Manor, there are also a number of local golf courses, polo and show jumping at Hickstead, and horse racing at nearby Lingfield Park.
