There is access to a rear lane which we understand the property has a right of access leading to the garage, providing a right of way for all the residents of South Parade. There is a small piece of woodland to the far side of the lane which the residents of South Parade are part of a trust to maintain. There is an annual fee payable for maintenance and use of the woodland area.

Owners Insight - The house has so much potential in it to be renovated into the 1920's style town-house it was before, with a bit of time and effort.

We have kept as many of the original features as possible and hope they stay too, as they are a rare find these days - something we'll greatly miss! The house is set in an idyllic village, cul-de-sac location, with the most gorgeous neighbours who can't do enough for you. The village has a vibrant social life and there are loads of regular 'meet-ups' in the village hall. The sense of community is very strong and is something we will both miss greatly.

The primary school opposite is rated outstanding from Ofsted, but we know first-hand how good a school it is and how lovely the staff are. Although we have on street parking, we have never had an issue parking close to the house and our neighbours are very good at moving cars around if relatives come to stay to accommodate. From street parties to village fetes, Croft really is a hidden gem on the outskirts of Darlington.
