Description

Experience the perfect harmony of rural tranquillity and contemporary luxury at The Croft. Originally discovered in a state of disrepair, this two-double-bedroom detached bungalow has been meticulously stripped back to the brickwork and rebuilt with an uncompromising eye for detail. Every element has been revitalised, from the replacement of all doors and windows to a complete overhaul of the electrical and plumbing systems. In a rare move for a renovation, the owners even replaced the sewage and electrical connections all the way back to the road, ensuring the home operates with the efficiency of a modern build while retaining its charming aesthetic.

The interior has been thoughtfully redesigned to provide a high-specification living experience. A sleek, new kitchen and a modern family bathroom complement the two spacious double bedrooms, while two impressive multi-fuel burners serve as striking focal points in the living areas. Practicality is at the forefront of the design, featuring a brand-new oil-fired central heating system, new radiators, and a loft space filled with premium insulation to ensure year-round comfort and energy efficiency.

Nestled in the picturesque village of Great Bridgeford, the property offers an enviable lifestyle surrounded by the Staffordshire countryside. Families are well-served by the proximity to Cooper Perry Primary School, a highly regarded institution in the neighbouring village of Seighford. For older students, the well-respected Sir Graham Balfour High School is conveniently accessible within the local catchment area.

Connectivity is a hallmark of this location. Commuters can take advantage of the National Rail services from Stafford Station, which offers direct links to London and Birmingham, while the M6 Motorway is just a short drive away for regional travel. For daily errands, the village enjoys a reliable bus service into Stafford town centre, where a wide array of amenities, boutique shops, and dining options await.

The Croft represents a unique opportunity to own a home that has been truly "reborn" for the modern age.
