Overview
About Stoney Croft
Dating back to the 1930’s this individual detached house is of traditional stone construction beneath a double pitched slate roof. It occupies an ever popular residential location opposite Beaumont Park and sits within a generous plot which extends to approximately 0.34 acre.
Our clients purchased the property in 2018 and have carried out extensive works to improve the property whilst retaining its original character. These works include replacing the majority of the windows with double glazing whilst retaining the original leaded single glazed panels. The oil fired central heating system was upgraded, bathroom, wc and utility rooms refitted and a scheme of cosmetic improvement has been carried out throughout.
The main entrance hall to the house sits at the side where there is an open porch leading to the hall via a leaded glazed door with leaded panels to either side. The hall features a superb period wooden paneling and a grand staircase leading to the first floor. Doors lead to the two reception rooms and kitchen. The lounge is the largest of the 2 rooms and features a curved bay window to the front and recessed inglenook style fireplace with log burning stove and leaded glazed door into the garden room. The dining room also features a bay window with double doors opening to the garden.
The kitchen is positioned towards the rear of the house and is fitted with a good range of units and an electric Aga range cooker. A door from here leads to the rear hall and features a further door into a walk-in pantry. There is also a utility room and a downstairs wc. The central heating boiler and hot water tank are housed within a cupboard in the WC.
Walking up the stairs to the first floor you will see the wonderful original leaded glazing which rise from the half landing to the ceiling. These are in full view from the landing which is also finished with wooden paneling matching the hall. On this floor there are 4 bedrooms, 3 of which are doubles, whilst Bedroom 4, currently an office, is of single bedroom size. There is also a lovely house bathroom with 4 piece suite by Villeroy and Boch. There is also a further separate WC which has a 2 piece suite also by Villeroy and Boch.
Externally the property is accessed via a driveway lined by mature trees which sweeps up past the side of the house to the rear where there is ample space to park a number of vehicles. There is a detached garage and a further garden area could also be created here. The main garden sits at the front of the house where there is a seating area and lawn beyond.
