High Street, Lindfield, West Sussex, RH16

Crosskeys is a lovely Grade II listed village house coming to the market for the first time in over 38 years. Approximately late C16, 3 bay timber-framed house and refronted early C19. Ground floor brick (with some chequer brickwork) and 1st floor weather boarded, with covered cross brick porch.

The house, set back from the high street with a delightful garden and picket fence, would now benefit from some internal updating but offers good family accommodation throughout. The ground floor has two large reception rooms, with a triple aspect drawing room and formal dining room with original inglenook fireplaces and good ceiling heights for a house of this age.

There is a south east facing fitted kitchen/breakfast room with gas fired AGA and ample space for a table. There is a downstairs shower room, larder/pantry and a lower ground floor cellar.

The first floor is approached via a central staircase to a generous landing with four bedrooms leading off it, two with walk-in wardrobes. There are two bathrooms, a separate cloakroom and ample storage cupboards and linen store, unusual for a house of this age. The second floor has been boarded out and offers two good sized rooms.

Crosskeys is approached off the High Street via a charming front picket fenced garden and set back from the road itself. It has off street parking and a large garage to the side and rear of the property. A particular feature of the house is the large south east facing garden beautifully planted with herbaceous perennial borders, a spectacular magnolia tree and mature specimen trees. There is a 'fairy ring' of spring bulbs in the centre of the lawn and a large terrace for entertaining.
