General Description - Crown House is a superb and fine example of a period village home positioned a stones' throw from the centre of Castle Donington. The property was constructed in circa 1820 and is recognised by Historic England under a Grade II listing as the former house of the Sutton family, master plasterers whose work is evident in the nearby Donington Hall. As a result the property benefits from exceptional exterior Stucco render and ornament, and beautiful period internal plaster work.
Occupying a prominent position in the village, the property sits behind original wrought iron railings with a courtyard front garden. The front elevation is of particular note, boasting a beautiful facade with original sash windows, hardwood front door and of course the impressive decorative Stucco render work from the Sutton family.
Expect to find lovely period grandeur internally that is rarely available in this area of the market. There is 1370 sq ft of living space in total laid across two and a half floors comprising in brief; two superb formal reception rooms with sash windows, beautiful plaster work, open fire to the sitting room and feature fireplace to the dining room, snug, fitted kitchen and a conservatory. Upstairs are four good sized bedrooms, the master boasting built in wardrobes, a shower room and a bathroom. The living space is connected by a lovely original staircase with Oak balustrade.
Outside and to the rear is a private parking area with an electrically operable sliding gate giving off-road parking for up to three vehicles. There are private and low maintenance gardens currently laid as tiered patio terrace, with two large stores carved out of the stone rear wall, and a substantial utility room.
