The best of both worlds...


Beautifully presented throughout, this stylish three-bedroom mid-terrace home combines contemporary finishes with spacious, light-filled accommodation, all within the heart of Croston village. Briefly, the accommodation features a spacious front reception room, impressive open-plan kitchen-diner with bi-folding doors to the west-facing garden utility and w.c. to the ground floor whilst the first floor comprises generous bedrooms (the master with an en suite) and a family bathroom. To the front, there is parking for three vehicles and an electric vehicle charging point.



Welcome in...


Step through the uPVC front door into a welcoming brick-built entrance porch with tiled flooring – the perfect place to leave coats and shoes before entering the main accommodation.
     

An oak door with an opaque glazed inset leads into the reception room, where warm oak flooring, a covered radiator and a front-facing window fitted with plantation shutters to provide privacy to the front. The focal point of the room is a gas-burning stove, set upon a tiled hearth with a solid oak mantel above, offering both warmth and character. A television point and central pendant light complete this stylish yet comfortable living space.

     

Wine and dine...


The impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area is positioned to the rear, fitted with a combination of full-height, wall and base cabinetry in complementary shades of light grey and sage and finished with white quartz worktops and under-cabinet lighting. A matching breakfast bar provides additional seating, while integrated appliances include a Neff microwave, dishwasher, one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink unit with etched drainer and a Rangemaster cooker with a five-burner gas hob and extractor hood above. There is also space for an American-style fridge freezer.
     

Flooded with natural light from four Velux roof windows, a side window and bi-folding doors which open seamlessly to the rear garden, the dining area offers an ideal space for gathering with family and friends. Recessed spotlights, two pendant lights and a vertical column radiator complete this bright and welcoming room.

     

Taking care of the practicalities...


Located just off the kitchen, the utility room is fitted with a quartz worktop incorporating plumbing for an automatic washing machine and venting for a tumble dryer below. Additional wall-mounted cabinetry provides storage, while the space is lit by recessed downlights. 


The ground floor cloakroom is finished with a contemporary suite comprising a back-to-wall w.c., vanity wash hand basin, decorative splashback and is also illuminated by recessed spotlights.

     

Soak and sleep...


Ascending to the first floor, the spacious landing provides access to three generously proportioned bedrooms through traditional white panelled doors. The landing also benefits from loft access, built-in storage and a central pendant light.


The principal bedroom is a spacious double overlooking the rear garden, complete with a television point, radiator, central pendant light and wall lighting to each bedside. Fitted wardrobes with mirrored fronts frame the entrance to the discreet en suite, which is finished in neutral tiling to splash areas. 
     

The suite comprises a shower enclosure by bi-folding glazed doors, a vanity wash hand basin, close-coupled w.c. and recessed downlights.
   

Bedrooms two and three are both comfortable double rooms, each enjoying front-facing windows dressed with plantation shutters, radiators and pendant lighting.
     

Serving these bedrooms is a well-appointed family bathroom which is fully tiled in grey. The stylish three-piece suite comprises a panelled bath with shower attachment over and a glazed screen to the side, a pedestal wash hand basin, back-to-wall w.c. and a practical toiletries ledge. Recessed downlights and a chrome heated towel rail complete the suite. 

     

The quiet spot...


The west-facing rear garden is first laid with an Indian stone patio, offering the perfect setting for al fresco dining, entertaining or simply unwinding in the afternoon and evening sunshine. Steps rise to a neatly maintained lawn with mature shrubs and established planting dotted around, enclosed by a combination of timber fencing and brick wall boundaries. A continuation of the patio extends along one side of the property, leading to side access via a wrought iron gate.
        

To the front, the property benefits from allocated off-road parking for three vehicles, together with the added convenience of an electric vehicle charging point.
