4 bedroom detached house

The Croft, 52 Hathaway Lane, is a beautifully appointed family home with immaculately presented accommodation over two floors. The property's interiors are particularly special, and it's a perfect home for modern-day living, with an open plan kitchen/living room and two separate reception rooms. It has been tastefully updated and extended by the current owners, so it is ready for a buyer to move straight in.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hallway with original solid wood flooring throughout, a recently fitted cloakroom and a staircase rising to the first floor. The study/snug/playroom overlooks the front of the property with a bay window and feature fireplace.

The sitting room has French doors opening on to the decked terrace and a charming open fireplace with marble surround. An impressive and spacious open plan kitchen/dining/family room has Karndean flooring and a dual aspect, with a set of French doors opening to the terrace on one side and bi-fold doors.

There is plenty of space for a large dining area and a separate seating area. The Feather Bow hand-crafted kitchen features hand-painted units, granite worktops, a central island with an inset Belfast sink and a Range Cooker.

Upstairs, a generous landing area has built-in cupboards providing functional storage. The beautiful, vaulted principal bedroom suite
has exposed roof trusses, built-in wardrobes, and a dressing area. The en suite shower room has natural stone tiling and underfloor
heating, and the Juliet balcony is a lovely feature. Three double bedrooms share the contemporary family bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower.

The west-facing rear garden is mature and private, with a raised decking area ideal for entertaining, which wraps around the rear of the house. Steps lead down to the garden, which is mainly laid to lawn with a variety of established trees, including several fruit trees and well-stocked herbaceous borders. To the side of the property, there is a covered space leading to the single garage and outside the front of the property there is parking for a number of cars on the gravelled driveway.

The Croft, 52 Hathaway Lane, is situated in Shottery village, which lies approximately one mile west of Stratford-upon-Avon town centre.

Stratford-upon-Avon has a great range of state, grammar and private schools, including the Boys' Grammar School, Stratford Prep School and The Croft Prep School, all within walking distance of the property. There are excellent shopping and leisure facilities in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick and Leamington Spa. The M40 (J15) is readily accessible for the commuter, providing routes to Birmingham to the north and London to the south. Shottery also lies just to the north of the Cotswolds.
