Croichley Fold is a rare, detached 16th-century stone home set in a sheltered Hawkshaw hamlet, offering generous living space and a large south-facing garden. Original features — exposed oak beams, stone mullion windows and restored leaded stained glass — are balanced with functional upgrades including fitted kitchen appliances, underfloor heating in key rooms and a useful outdoor office with heating.
Layout suits family living and entertaining: four reception rooms, a bright garden room with French doors, and a principal suite with dressing room and ensuite. The house sits on a very large plot with a paved terrace, landscaped borders and a raised glass-enclosed sundeck that captures extensive valley views. Parking is strong, with space for eight cars and a detached double garage.
Practical matters to note: the property uses electric storage heaters as the main heating source and has stone walls likely without modern insulation, which may affect running costs. Broadband speeds are slow locally, and the double glazing installation date is unknown. Council Tax sits in a very expensive band. The house is unlisted and chain-free, but its age and construction may mean further conservation-style maintenance is required over time.
For buyers seeking character in a quiet, affluent village location, this home offers privacy, flexible living space and significant curb appeal. It will particularly suit families or buyers who value heritage features and garden space, but those prioritising low running costs or high-speed broadband should factor potential upgrades into their plans.
