Property description
This charming five-bedroom village property occupies a secluded spot within the village of Croxton. The original property has been extended by the current owners in the early 1990’s to accommodate their then growing family, creating a lovely home whilst retaining much of the original character.
Croxton is without doubt one of the most popular villages in the area being just 10 minutes’ drive from Eccleshall and surrounded by beautiful countryside and quiet country lanes. For those needing to travel further afield, Stafford is approximately 10 miles away, Newcastle under Lyme 14 miles away and Market Drayton is also approximately 10 miles away.
The property itself stands away from the main Eccleshall to Loggerheads Road and down a pretty lane in the centre of the village. Eccleshall is well known for having a wide variety of both independent and high shops and is also well served by all the usual amenities. Within Croxton is a petrol station with a very well stocked shop supplying all the necessities for every-day living.
The cottage sits in a good sized plot with ample driveway parking and a detached double garage with boarded storage over. The garden surrounds the property on three sides; a large lawned area to the front and side, along with a paved courtyard to the rear.
There is a large reception hall to the front of the cottage with a family snug to the left, a large sitting room to the right and the dining room at the rear. The kitchen benefits from a good sized pantry store off and further utility to the rear. There is also a cellar running under the kitchen with internal steps from the rear hallway.
On the first floor there are five bedrooms, the larger master bedroom having a smartly fitted en-suite shower room. The remaining four bedrooms are served by a principal shower room, although there is space to install a bath should the buyer wish.
