Situated within this well-regarded and convenient village, Wildcroft is a beautifully presented detached Victorian house, built of traditional construction with soft-red-brick elevations underneath a slate roofline.

As typical with Victorian architecture, proportions are balanced and generous, with good ceiling heights and a high level of natural light throughout.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors, extending to almost 2,000ft2, with the ground floor comprising a reception hall with original quarry tiles floors; sitting room with exposed floorboards, open fireplace with wood-burning stove and large sash windows; a snug with fireplace housing a wood-burning stove whilst to the south is a large modern conservatory.

The kitchen has been beautifully crafted and finished using the highest quality materials, with a bespoke handmade painted shaker-style units and cabinetry with quartz worktops with matching large island with twin Belfast sink, space for freestanding range-style cooker with extractor over, bi-fold doors to the garden and tiles floors, leading to a family seating area with new wood-burning stove and a fabulous dining room extension with twin sets of bi-fold doors and large rooflight. There is a rear lobby with doors to the garden and cloakroom/utility.
