Full description

A TRUE FAMILY HOME in a LOVELY RURAL LOCATION, this property MUST BE VIEWED to be appreciated. Crawley Cross Cottage is a SIMPLY GORGEOUS 4 BEDROOM CHARACTER COTTAGE thought to date back to 1790, which has been tastefully improved, upgraded and extended by the current owners. BEAUTIFUL GARDENS and a patio area to the rear create a fantastic outdoor entertaining space, with a large gravelled driveway to the front allowing for GENEROUS OFF-ROAD PARKING. This wonderful home provides the best of both worlds, being situated in a picturesque spot with EXTENSIVE RURAL VIEWS, yet just a short drive from the amenities of the market town of Garstang and the village of Pilling.

The range of amenities in the village of Pilling, include a school, shop and public house, whilst further afield in Garstang there are supermarkets, a number of independent shops, healthcare providers and both a primary and senior school.

Internally the layout is extremely flexible, offering 3 bathrooms, with the 3/4 reception spaces lending themselves to a variety of uses. There is potential for annexe accommodation in conjunction with the utility room. Recent improvements completed by the vendor include the extension to the side of the property, creating a better lounge space to the side and garden room to the rear, along with a beautifully fitted Carl Josef kitchen.

The property is entered from the front porch into the entrance hall where there is an oak floor covering and doors off to various ground floor accommodation. The lovely lounge includes a feature fireplace, creating an attractive focal point to the room. There is an oak floor covering and windows to two elevations, providing good levels of natural light.

The dining room also enjoys windows to two elevations.

In the kitchen there is a beautiful range of cream units with a granite work surface over, incorporating a Belfast sink. There is a central island including a timber oval breakfast bar. These have been fitted by the very reputable Carl Josef. Integrated appliances are all Siemens, including an induction hob, extractor fan, oven, dishwasher and fridge-freezer. The kitchen enjoys views over the rear gardens and opens into the garden room.

The garden room has oak flooring and French doors leading out to the rear patio. The kitchen and garden room can truly be enjoyed together in a more open-plan way.

Off the kitchen there is a utility room which includes a range of units with a 1 ½ sink and drainer. There are points for a washer and dryer. The oil-fired boiler is also positioned in here. There is a w.c. and wash-hand basin.

The office/family room is a conversion from the garage and makes a fantastic light space. There are windows to the front and French doors to the rear of the property.

From the entrance hall the staircase rises up to the first floor where there are 4 bedrooms in total. Both the master and second bedroom have fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom has a shower en-suite and the second bedroom has a bath en-suite.

There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom which includes a free-standing bath, w.c., wash basin and a shower.

The front of the property enjoys a stone gravelled driveway which provides the ability to pull in, with a separate entrance to pull out. The front of the property is particularly charming and can be absorbed from the front elevation. To the rear there are stunning gardens which include a pond and water feature, a patio, beautiful lawned and bedded gardens, along with a vegetable patch.

This property really must be viewed in order to fully appreciate the grounds, scope and quality throughout.
