Greenaway Residential Estate Agents of Crawley are honoured to present this outstanding five-bedroom detached chalet-style home, originally constructed by Wates in the 1960s to their esteemed ‘Dormy’ design.

This exceptional property is situated on a generous corner plot within a highly desirable cul-de-sac in Ifield, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a residence of remarkable quality and versatility.

Having undergone extensive remodelling by the current owners, the property has been transformed into a distinguished family home that embodies both sophistication and meticulous attention to detail. Key features include an elegant kitchen/breakfast room with granite countertops, a charming living room featuring a log-burning stove, and a newly added garage measuring 15’6 x 14’5, complete with a utility room, additional storage, and a separate toilet.

The ground floor layout comprises a porch, hallway, spacious living room, formal dining room, and three generously proportioned double bedrooms, the principle of which features an en-suite shower room. A family bathroom and the impressive kitchen/breakfast room complete this level. The upper floor provides a feature galleried landing, two further double bedrooms both with eaves storage and a modern shower room. In our opinion the property would be suitable for larger families, possibly multi-generational families looking to live together. The accommodation is both versatile and expansive.

Outside to the front there is off street parking for numerous vehicles, that extends the full width of the property, mainly enclosed by wooden panelled fencing and mature hedgerows. To the rear of the property there is a well tended rear garden that is mainly laid to lawn with a paved patio that abuts the property. There is also an ornamental fish pond and mature shrub, tree and seasonal flowering borders. Gated access at the rear of the garden leads to a further area which the current owners use as a utility/storage area. Furthermore, to the side of the property there is another large area of lawn leading to a further courtyard style patio area, which provides a lovely sunny retreat and also bridges the property and the garage. There is also a wood store, essential for stocking up with logs for the winter! The garden is beautifully landscaped and will certainly cater for those ‘with green fingers’ and for outside entertaining in the warmer months.

The location further enhances the appeal of this residence. Ifield, a historic neighbourhood in Crawley, seamlessly blends its rich heritage with modern amenities. Notable attractions include the historic Ifield Water Mill and Mill Pond, St Margaret’s Church, and The Barn Theatre. The area offers a vibrant community atmosphere with local pubs, shops, and recreational facilities such as a golf club and cricket club. Families will appreciate the excellent schools, while commuters benefit from superb transport links via Metrobus services and convenient access to the A23 and M23.

This extraordinary property epitomises refined living and represents a unique opportunity to acquire a home of exceptional calibre within an enviable setting. Early viewings are strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.
