Description

A contemporary, four-bedroom home with bespoke interiors designed to complement modern living”.

As you drive along Grindley Lane, breathe in the scents of nature and the freshly cut grass of the local golf course. Tucked behind private, electric double gates, Crofton House is a contemporary, four-bedroom home nestled into the semi-rural landscape on the fringes of Blythe Bridge.



Picturesque Walking Trails - The village is brimming with charm and is named after the River Blithe, which flows along a heritage railway line. Several walking trails wind through picturesque scenery, and there are plenty of local amenities for families, with excellent schools and a wide choice of pubs, shops and cafes on the doorstep. Highly accessible transport links make commuting stress-free and allow you to reach nearby towns and cities, including Stoke-on-Trent, Cheadle and Uttoxeter, with ease.



Contemporary Design - Pull onto the expansive, gravelled forecourt of Crofton House and take a moment to admire the striking exterior. With ample parking space for several vehicles, as well as a garage, and a raised flowerbed ready for your personal touch, this family home greets you with an impressive oak entrance porch and double-doors that set the tone for the contemporary design throughout.

Step inside, and you’re immediately welcomed by an entrance hall that feels both spacious and calming. The overhead skylight floods the space with natural light, highlighting the oak and glass staircase. This is a transition space that feels less like a hallway and more like a gallery, leading you naturally toward the heart of the home.



An Intimate Sanctuary - To your left, enter the lounge, an intimate sanctuary designed for unwinding with dual-aspect views over the front and side elevations. The feature media wall, complete with an inset television and fireplace, provides a contemporary focal point for those quiet evenings when you simply want to disconnect from the world and settle into comfort.



A Masterclass In Modern Living - Return to the entrance hall and walk through to the open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, where the true heart of Crofton House unfolds. This vibrant space is a masterclass in modern living and at every opportunity, it invites natural light to stream through skylights and bi-fold doors. The kitchen itself is a chef’s dream, featuring sleek, high-gloss cabinetry, a kitchen island with quartz worktop, and a suite of integrated appliances. Imagine sipping your morning coffee here, looking out over the manicured lawn and the mature trees that offer a reassuring sense of privacy. This space isn’t just about aesthetics; it also ranks highly in functionality with the addition of a laundry, utility room and a WC, ideal for freshening up after a day in the garden.



An Oasis Of Calm - When the weather beckons you outside, slide open the expansive bi-fold doors to the decked patio. This is designed for entertaining and family gatherings, perfectly positioned for weekend BBQs or quiet moments listening to the sounds of nature. The rear garden is an oasis of calm, complete with wide borders for keen gardeners, and a dedicated raised area for a hot tub – perfect for late-night stargazing.

Wander to the bottom of the garden to find your own private gate providing direct access to the rolling fields beyond, alongside a versatile garden room. Whether you envision this as a high-tech gaming den, a peaceful yoga studio or a professional home office, the bi-fold doors make it a seamless extension of your outdoor living space.



A Boutique Bathroom - Retreat back inside and head upstairs to find four bedrooms, all boasting tranquil garden views. Bedroom one features an ensuite that makes the most of every inch with a walk-in shower, a countertop sink and a modern vertical radiator. The family bathroom, however, is the true jewel in the crown. With a deep, freestanding bath, a walk-in shower and mirrors integrated into the vertical radiator, it rivals the design of an exclusive boutique hotel. This is a space where you can indulge in luxury and much-needed me-time to wash away any stresses of the day.
