Property description
Croft House is a traditional character property with four bedrooms, situated in the wonderful surroundings of Chebsey, on the outskirts of Eccleshall. The property is a short distance away from the M6 at either junction 14 or 15. There is access to mainline railway stations with both Stafford and Stoke-on-Trent nearby. There is Pre and First schooling available in Loggerheads and Eccleshall, and high schools are available in Stafford or Newcastle under-Lyme.
Croft House is set back from the lane and has views of open paddocks at the front and rear. The property was the subject of a thorough scheme of renovation and extension by the previous owners, adding the large kitchen and master bedroom on the first floor.
An area set below the house facilitates a single garage and a parking area for several vehicles.
The side entrance of the property leads through to a generously-sized kitchen, with a utility room to the left which boasts handmade cupboards and base units, a boiler, washing machine and a stainless steel sink with a draining board. The traditional style kitchen is fitted with handmade units, a Belfast style sink and a solid oak worktop. There is a large single glazed window looking out onto the front garden and two windows to the rear.
Turning right out of the kitchen goes through to a cosy sitting room and a log burning stove is housed by a classic style mantle.
The far end of Croft House has a large sitting and dining area, made inviting by an open fireplace. The room is large enough for a suite of furniture along with a dining table and chairs.
All four bedrooms on the first floor are neatly finished and have views of the surrounding open farmland. They are served by two modern bathrooms. The principal bathroom has a classic free standing bath, basin, WC and shower. Next to the master bedroom is a bathroom, which includes a bath, sink and WC
Croft House has a traditional lawn finished with flower beds and a path leading up to the front door. There is a brick paved seating area adjacent to the cottage, enjoying the property’s south facing aspect.
