Entrez dans une maison chargée d’histoire et laissez-vous tenter par un style de vie où l’opulence rencontre l’architecture séculaire. Ce n’est pas seulement une propriété de caractère, c’est une déclaration de vie raffinée. Installez-vous dans une chambre où une reine a dîné, promenez-vous dans un bâtiment conçu et occupé par un cardinal et dormez dans un lit où une reine française a posé sa tête. Cette magnifique maison de campagne a mérité à juste titre son inscription dans les bâtiments de Pevsner en Angleterre.
L’aile Est que nous avons le privilège de proposer à la vente fait partie d’une conversion habile et sympathique en quatre logements réalisée dans les années 1970.À vendre par l’intermédiaire du bureau d’Olney, veuillez demander Ian Fraser, Miranda Lindsay ou Haydn van Weenen. Intérêt historique - Commandé par le cardinal Wolsey au 16ème siècle comme sa grande résidence, Crawley Grange détient une riche histoire et a reçu un visiteur royal en 1575 lorsque le monarque régnant, la reine Elizabeth I, a dîné dans ce qui est maintenant le salon de cette magnifique propriété. Pour commémorer l’événement, les armoiries de la reine ont été gravées dans une fenêtre de l’aile est. On dit aussi qu’il y a un tunnel secret reliant la propriété à l’église du village.
Plus récemment, Crawley Grange a été utilisé pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale par l’armée pour accueillir des officiers supérieurs et abriter des documents top secret autrefois situés à Bletchley Park.
Une autre note historique intéressante fait référence à Marie-Antoinette, la dernière reine de France qui a connu une fin plutôt prématurée à l’âge tendre de seulement 37 ans. À l’intérieur de la propriété se trouve le lit même que la reine occupait. Ornée de soie « Lilieve », cette pièce a fait la couverture du magazine Vogue photographiée au milieu du lac qui fait face au château de Versailles. Il a été acquis par les propriétaires actuels et cet artefact historique fait partie du mobilier exquis qui restera dans cette vente. Hébergement - L’hébergement est aménagé sur trois étages de l’aile est de Crawley Grange. Les caractéristiques de cet imposant bâtiment sont les hauts plafonds, les fenêtres à meneaux et la cloche d’origine pour communiquer avec les quartiers des domestiques.
Le salon présente les boiseries d’origine et les poutres apparentes au plafond. La majestueuse cheminée a un entourage en bois finement sculpté avec un manteau en bois proéminent, daté de 1686. La salle à manger jouit de proportions extravagantes, la table à manger pouvant accueillir 10 personnes est installée dans une alcôve confortable avec des banquettes aménagées d’artisan.

Il y a un lave-vaisselle Bosch intégré et des appareils « MIele » comprenant un réfrigérateur pour garde-manger, un grand four à rôtir avec une plaque à induction et deux fours intelligents avec programmation automatique et fonctions vapeur, grill et micro-ondes. Il y a aussi un tiroir chauffant et une cafetière. Un bureau et une salle d’eau complètent le logement du rez-de-chaussée.
La chambre principale dispose d’un dressing et d’une salle de bain. Quatre autres chambres se trouvent aux premier et deuxième étages, en plus d’une douche attenante, d’une salle d’eau et d’une salle de bains. La chambre « Marie Antoinette » au deuxième étage est plutôt époustouflante à l’entrée avec son lit Queen size orné de coussins et de draperies Lilieve assortis. Ceux-ci sont entièrement coordonnés avec le motif affiché sur le papier peint en soie « Lilieve » des chambres. L’une des autres chambres est actuellement utilisée comme salle de cinéma et équipée en conséquence. Une suite séparée au dernier étage convient à une fille au pair ou à une nounou et se compose d’une chambre, d’une douche, d’un vestiaire et d’une buanderie qui abrite une machine à laver et un sèche-linge.
La cave, accessible de l’extérieur, offre d’excellents rangements et un mur de vin éclairé construit sur mesure. The Grounds At Crawley Grange - La propriété dispose d’un parc paysager à couper le souffle méticuleusement entretenu par les jardiniers de la communauté.

De plus, il y a un court de tennis récemment refait et une piscine chauffée disponible uniquement pour les résidents.

Ces sentiers pédestres explorent les environs ruraux de la Grange et permettent de profiter de la nature à son meilleur. Les sentiers pédestres sont réservés aux résidents et à leurs invités.
L’aile Est dispose de son propre jardin privé d’environ 1 acre situé à proximité immédiate de l’habitation. Ces terrains privés sont entourés d’une haie de hêtres matures offrant intimité et isolement. Les terrains ont été conçus par des professionnels et servent à deux fins distinctes. Un secteur offre une superbe aire de jeux pour les enfants et il y a un jardin plus orienté vers les adultes, idéal pour les repas en plein air et les divertissements.
L’aile Est est également propriétaire d’un potager avec une splendide serre victorienne dotée d’un système d’arrosage temporisé sophistiqué. Il y a une abondance de roses dans le potager ainsi que des dahlias, des pivoines et des iris. Une véritable profusion de couleurs tout au long de l’été.
