4 Bedroom Detached For Sale

Property description

Callaghans are delighted to present Croft House, an unusual period Georgian detached 'gentlemans residence' built circa 1800. It lies on Gatley Road near to Gatley train station and is an agreeably short walk away from the village. Its family-orientated four to five bedroom accomodation is arranged on the ground and first floors. High ceilings and skirtings coupled with ornate cornicing, picture railing and mullioned windows have all been retained to perpetuate its inherent character.
Croft House, orginally known as, The Farm on the Croft, is believed to have once been the one of the few habitable properties in Gatley. Its then farming owner actually owned all of the land upon which Gatley is now formed.
