Rusper Road, Crawley, RH11 0HU

Turks Croft is a truly unique Grade II listed home dating from the mid 15th-16th century, set in just under an acre of beautifully established grounds Turks Croft is a home with real character. Having been sympathetically extended and updated over the years, it now offers substantial family accommodation while retaining many of the features that make a property of this age so appealing – exposed oak beams, inglenook fireplaces, vaulted ceilings and plenty of original charm. The reception rooms are particularly impressive. The sitting room has a wonderful inglenook with wood burner and York stone hearth, while the large, double aspect, living room has a further open fireplace and exposed beams. A generous dining room and well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room with walk-in larder, complete the main living space, with the kitchen opening onto the terrace and gardens. There is also a useful utility room and downstairs cloakroom on the ground floor. Upstairs there are six bedrooms, including a superb principal bedroom with balcony overlooking the grounds, fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathroom. A number of the bedrooms have their own en-suites, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and plenty of storage adding further character. Outside is where Turks Croft really comes into its own. The grounds extend to over an acre (TBV), with established conifers providing an exceptional degree of privacy, together with lawns, mature trees, flower beds, and useful outbuildings. The heated swimming pool sits within a charming Victorian-style enclosure and comes complete with a Jacuzzi, kitchen/bar, changing room, shower and WC. There is ample parking to the front, together with a listed single garage and, further down the drive, an impressive detached two-storey garage and workshop complex. Above the garage is a substantial office with kitchenette and bathroom, offering excellent potential for an annexe or additional accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. The location is another great advantage. Ifield train station is just a few minutes’ walk away, providing direct rail links to London. The Mill Primary School is also within walking distance. While Crawley town centre, local shops and bus routes are also conveniently close. Ifield retains a village feel, with the charming Plough Inn pub and the historic Ifield Mill close by. Tilgate Park and Tilgate Nature Centre are within easy reach and provide miles of green space, woodland and leisure facilities. Turks Croft is the sort of property that is difficult to replicate – a piece of history with space, privacy, leisure facilities and lots potential to make it your next home, all in a convenient location.
