Positioned on the edge of the village, this charming detached cottage has been re-modelled by the current owners to provide a superb use of the accommodation by way of a delightful lounge with ingle stove, living-dining-kitchen to the rear, separate utility room and cloakroom, three good-sized bedrooms, a study area and a four-piece family bathroom. There is private parking for two/three cars, an enclosed lawn garden plus two large storage sheds, and the property is within easy reach of Croston’s renowned schools, village amenities and transport links.
The navy-blue composite door with fanlight over opens into the porch with decorative wall tiling to dado height and a pendant light. A further inner, part-glazed door opens into the good-sized, light and airy lounge with a large, sash window to the front and a central pendant light. The beamed, ingle fireplace surrounds a multi-fuel burning stove whilst to one side is a log store with shelves over and to the other side is a television point. The Karndean flooring continues beyond a latch door into the hallway where a staircase and handrail rise to the first floor.
A step down from the hall gives way to the excellent, re-modelled living-dining-kitchen, lit by recessed downlighting and having windows to the side, front and French windows to the garden. The kitchen area is fitted with a superb range of deep-blue, high-gloss cabinets and drawers plus an island unit. Oak work-surfaces surround and have an inset Belfast sink with spring-style mixer tap, an etched side drainer and an integrated Bosch dishwasher below. The island unit with breakfast bar has an inset induction hob with ceiling extractor fan above, features deep drawers and has an integrated wine chiller. Tall cabinets house the eye-level double oven, grill and Russell Hobbs microwave plus an integrated fridge freezer alongside.
There is ample space for a dining suite and sofa alongside the French windows and, from this area, a door opens to a walk-in understairs storage cupboard with opaque window, light and housing for the energy meters.
A further latch door from the kitchen leads to the utility room with a door to the garden, ceiling light and fitted with ivory shaded units, integrated Baumatic washing machine and tumble dryer and housing the wall-mounted Worcester gas central heating boiler. A further door opens into the washroom with opaque window to the side and fitted with a white wall-mounted wash hand basin, a close coupled w.c. and a radiator.
The split-level landing has a window to the side, a pendant light, loft access point and gives way to the bedrooms, study and bathroom.
The master bedroom is a good-sized double room with a side window, pendant light, loft hatch, a decorative Victorian fire surround and dado-height timber panelling to one wall.
Off the landing is a study area with sash window to the front, pendant light and space for a desk.
The further two double bedrooms both have windows to the front, one has a fitted wardrobe and one has a loft access point with Slingsby-Style ladder.
The bathroom has an opaque rear window, ceiling light and is decoratively tiled to all splash areas beyond the four-piece white suite comprising a timber panelled bath with mixer tap and hand shower, a vanity set wash hand basin, close coupled w.c. and a large walk-in shower cubicle with glazed screen. There is also an extractor fan and a black ladder-style heated rail to warm the towels.
The property is approached via a gate set into the front picket fencing, inner lined with Hornbeam hedging, and having a path to the front door and pebbled frontage. To the side is a paved parking area for two/three cars and there is an EV charging point, tall hedging with a timber side gate which gives way into the enclosed, side lawn garden with flower and shrub borders. A raised pebbled seating area to one end and a paved sun terrace to the other both provide ideal al fresco dining areas, and there is also access to two, solidly built storage sheds.
