Croftlands, Holcombe Brook

Tucked away in a peaceful corner of Holcombe Brook, Croftlands is the kind of house where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings end in soft garden light. A quiet cul-de-sac of well-kept homes and neighbourly calm, this inviting home has a warm soul and exciting potential.

Walk up to the front door, the lawn to one side neatly trimmed and edged with verdant planting.
There's space here for two cars, for coming home with muddy boots and leaving again with picnic baskets. Step into the porch, more than a pause between outside and in, this is space to kick off shoes, hang the coats, throw down the schoolbags and exhale.
Beyond the glazed internal door, the hallway is warm and welcoming, with stained glass peeking through from the lounge, a quiet moment of character that nods to the home's history.
To the right of the hallway sits the downstairs bathroom, fully tiled from floor to wall. Practical and neatly appointed with a WC and wash basin, it's ideal for busy mornings or guests popping by. A glazed window ensures natural light and fresh air.

Straight ahead, the kitchen flows in a classic galley style, clean-lined and practical, perfect for those who love to cook. On one side, a built-in cooker and hob sit beneath a sleek extractor fan. To the other side, freestanding appliances are tucked beside a large window that looks out onto a frame of green shrubs swaying just outside. There's ample storage, worktop space for prep or bake-offs, and a door leading directly into the garden, perfect for kitchen herbs or summer suppers outdoors.
Flowing on from the kitchen is the dining area, room enough for a full family table and the chatter that comes with it. Whether it's a roast with friends, evening homework, or a quiet morning coffee, the space adjusts with ease.
From here, the sun room stretches out in all seasons. With its solid roof, it's a room for all weathers, currently serving as a well-loved space for pets but ready to transform into a garden-view study, a reading nook, or a playroom filled with light and laughter. A door opens out to the patio beyond, linking indoors and out naturally.

Head to the front of the house for time to relax in the light-filled lounge. There's a soft carpet underfoot, calm neutral tones to the walls, and a large front window that draws the garden inside. There's a gas fireplace set into the wall, warmth when needed and charm all year round, and the layout offers plenty of potential for a media wall, a statement sofa, or simply a cosy seat to watch the world go by.

Return to the hallway and take the stairs upwards, soft carpet cushioning each step. The staircase returns on itself halfway up, pausing at a window that floods the landing with natural light.
The family bathroom is the first room on the right, a calm contemporary space with walnut-toned laminate underfoot and white wall tiles punctuated by a warm-toned walnut feature. There's a full-sized bathtub with a shower overhead, a vanity unit with sink and storage beneath, and spotlights to keep the mood gentle and clean.
Bedroom Four comes next, a quiet single room overlooking the rear garden. Painted a soft blue, with neutral carpet and space for a desk, wardrobe, and shelves, it's a calm place to rest or study.
Bedroom Two is further along the landing. Another room facing the garden, it's light and open, with space for a double bed, wardrobes, and more besides. It's easy to imagine this as a peaceful guest room or a teenager's haven, private, practical, and bright.

At the front of the home, the principal bedroom offers generous proportions and wall-to-wall wardrobes with deep drawers. Grey carpet underfoot and restful views of the manicured front lawn make this a peaceful retreat. There's ample space for a super king bed, and the outlook is quiet and green, with the front garden adding privacy and calm.
Next door, Bedroom Three also overlooks the front garden. Grey carpet, two-toned walls, and plenty of space for wardrobes or toy boxes make this a flexible, family-friendly space with personality.

Step outside into the back garden, a space that feels private and open at once. A patio sits directly outside the conservatory, ready for garden chairs, plant pots or breakfast with the papers.
Low maintenance and brimming with promise, it's a space to be enjoyed in every season, whether pottering in the sunshine or watching birds dance across the fences.
