Summary - Home Farm Cottage, Grape Lane, Croston PR26 9HB
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Large garden, garage and period charm in a peaceful village setting.
Almost 2,250 sq ft of period family accommodation
Home Farm Cottage is a spacious 18th-century detached house set in extensive, well-planted grounds on the edge of Croston. The house offers almost 2,250 sq ft of accommodation, four double bedrooms, three bathrooms and several intact period features including exposed beams, panelled rooms and charming garden views over open countryside.
Ground-floor living suits family life: two cosy reception rooms with multifuel stoves and underfloor heating, a flagged dining room with original range and an updated breakfast kitchen with quartz worktops and integrated Neff appliances. A useful utility/boot room, cloakroom and large garage with electric roller door add practical everyday convenience.
The first floor provides a principal bedroom with ensuite, three further double bedrooms (one currently a study) and a family bathroom. Bedroom two has a mezzanine and access to a substantial loft room; with relevant planning this could provide additional accommodation. The very large, mature garden includes lawned areas, a sunken garden, specimen trees and long views — an obvious draw for families who value outside space.
Notable negatives are factual: the EPC is D and solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating costs could be higher; council tax is in the expensive band F. Mobile signal is average. While much of the house is well maintained, the loft’s conversion would require planning and any major wall insulation or structural changes should be factored into budgets. Overall this property suits buyers seeking a character family home with significant garden and scope for improvement.
