The Home
“Crookleigh” is an imposing, stone fronted semi -detached home offering excellent proportions throughout.
Constructed during the late 1800s the accommodation includes five bedrooms, four of which are an excellent double size and, to the ground floor there are three individual reception rooms.
Two of these reception rooms are independently accessed from the entrance hallway with the third reception room position to the rear and close to the ground floor shower room which provides the possibility for ground floor bedroom accommodation should this be desired.
Our clients have owned the property for just under 40 years and the area is generally known for people settling for a long period of time. To the rear, there is a wide service road which provides access to the garage and driveway and the home is back to back with a nearby Bowling Green which provides a greater level of privacy than may otherwise be expected.
Our seller informs us that the property is Leasehold for a term of 990 years from 15th September 1890 subject to the payment of a yearly Ground Rent of £6.00.
