Stockton has recently undergone extensive renovation, including new windows throughout, updated guttering, soffits, and fascia, the addition of a ground floor shower room, and newly fitted utility and ensuite facilities. With freshly plastered walls, neutral decor, new doors, and upstairs carpeting, this property offers a warm and inviting home ready for a modern family. The expansive grounds, featuring a garage and a large enclosed rear garden, provide exciting possibilities for creating a new garage block or workshop. The property previously received planning permission for a 7m rear extension, offering an exciting opportunity to create a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area.

Located in a semi-rural setting overlooking picturesque apple orchards, the property benefits from its proximity to Kings Acre Road, which offers amenities including a garden centre with a popular café, a local shop, and access to Whitecross’s renowned conveniences such as Heggie’s butchers, convenience stores, and the Ofsted-rated “Good” Whitecross High School & Specialist Sports College. For leisure, nearby Breinton Common and Wyevale Wood Nature Reserve offer excellent walking opportunities, while Breinton Village Hall provides a hub for community activities. Despite its tranquil setting, the property is conveniently located less than 3 miles from the City Centre.

The Property

Porch: A gravel pathway leads to the porch, featuring new doors and windows. This surprisingly spacious entrance area includes new herringbone style LVT flooring, built-in coat closet and a seating bench with shoe storage beneath and sensor lighting.

Entry Hall: Beyond the inner half-glazed door, the entry hall welcomes you with its honey-toned oak laminate flooring. The carpeted staircase ascends to a light-filled landing enhanced by a double window with fitted blinds and spindle bannister.

Sitting & Dining Room: This open-plan space, defined by a high arch, is bathed in natural light from dual-aspect windows. The sitting room’s picture window frames views of the front garden, while the dining room’s sliding patio doors open to the rear garden. The sitting room boasts a wood burner with a slate hearth and timber lintel, complemented by twin upright column radiators at either end. The dining room, sharing the same herringbone LVT flooring, provides a welcoming space for family gatherings, illuminated by a stylish contemporary light pendant. The entire room has been redecorated in neutral colours and full-height wall panelling.

Kitchen: The soft green shaker-style Magnet kitchen combines functionality with charm. Solid wood countertops, a quartz-topped island with breakfast bar seating, and an array of storage solutions, including corner carousel units, deep pan drawers, and pull-out pantry racks, ensure practicality. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, plumbed Rangemaster fridge/freezer, and a 5-burner Rangemaster cooker. The Butler sink sits below triple windows overlooking the garden.
