A charming duplex home covering 3 floors within a period development of similar properties, in the delightful village of Croston in central Lancashire. Offering flexible accommodation, it provides spacious and modern living with the appeal of residing in a period property.
Positioned on Grape Lane on the periphery of Croston village this delightful duplex home has a countryside outlook. Part of a community of 10 properties (6 houses and one barn conversion split into 4 homes) this super property offers super-flexible accommodation with the option of up to four bedrooms. It features modern open-plan living with an ‘on-trend’ kitchen and bathrooms. A property of this size has multiple suitors including a small family, professional couple or retirees looking for village life or a secondary home.
Ground floor
A huge plus of this property, which is unusual for this style of home, is its own entrance which is directly at the front of the property on Grape Lane. Offering an ample hallway with hardwood flooring, a storage cupboard and possible further understairs storage the solid wood, newly carpeting staircase leads to the first floor. The hallway also leads through another doorway to the rear of the property. This section is shared with the next-door property.
Giant glass pane windows move from this floor and reach up the top floor, allowing for natural light.
First floor
The main living area hosts a modern, dark blue kitchen with quartz-style worktops and ample space for the living and dining area. The three original-shaped windows which include a circular window overlook the internal courtyard and wooden ceiling beams give this room great character, which complement the solid, dark wood flooring.
The first of four possible bedrooms sits to the rear of the property overlooking the rear garden. The second bedroom over looks both the front and side of the property and presents an ‘on-point’ ensuite shower room and contemporary fitted wardrobes.
The final bedroom is currently being used as an office and again has a character ‘circular’ window overlooking the lane and countryside. A further stylish shower room completes the rooms on this level.
A hallway then takes you up to the final level.
Second floor
Moving up to the top floor you enter the original loft space which has been brilliantly converted into a master suite with living room. Entering the main space two sets of Velux windows allow natural light to flood in with the main feature being the authentic wooden beams. Both sides of the loft have been cleverly used, one side is a walk-in wardrobe and the other an internal bathroom with full free-standing tub and separate shower. Giving masses of space for relaxation and tranquillity this room could easily be turned into a second reception if required.
Further loft space has been used as a handy utility/laundry room and more storage.
Grounds and gardens
The property has access to a shared garden at the rear of the property with direct entry from a shared corridor leading from the private hallway. This garden is lawned with easily maintained shrubs and plants and is a lovely space to spend a few hours in the sunshine. The property also comes with a single garage and 2 parking spaces.
The community offers very well-cared for grounds including a pretty courtyard and a large spacious green zone at the rear. Super for community get-togethers.
The community is accessed directly, via a private road from Grape Lane, around to the rear of the property where the garage and parking is situated.
Service Fees: This property is leasehold and is part of a private community so therefore has service charges. These include window cleaning, accounting, building insurances, management fees, internal and external repairs, sinking fund, landscaping, painting reserve fund, external electricity.
About the area
Things to do and amenities:
The property is within walking distance to the centre of Croston village and its amenities. The area has approx. 3000 residents so it has a great village feel. Offering a local sports club with Clubhouse it offers a whole range of activities including cricket, football, netball, cycling, indoor bowls, a golf society, French boules, and snooker. There’s a recreation ground for the children and of course there are selection of pubs within walking distance of the property. If you like walking, you’ll love what’s on offer with ‘Square wood’ just 2 mins walk away.
Transport:
It benefits several bus links which run locally and further afield such as Southport if you would like a coastal day out. The local bus stop is located opposite Croston train station. Regular trains run from this station into Preston and Ormskirk via the Northern Line. Both Liverpool and Manchester airports can be reached within a 55-minute drive.
Schools:
There’s a wide section of schools around the Croston area including OFSTED ‘Outstanding’ Trinity and St Michael's VA CofE/Methodist Primary School located in Croston itself. A secondary school Bishop Rawstorne Church of England Academy has a ‘Good’ OFSTED rating and is also ideally located close by in Croston. The leading independent school of Scarisbrick Hall is approximately a 30-minute drive away and intakes nursery through to 18 years.
University of Central Lancashire is in Preston which is made up of six academic Faculties and 15 academic Schools.
