The Croft Newcastle Road, Woore

Look up: the loft room alone is bigger than many homes’ entire ground floor. Set in a rural position with far-reaching views over open farmland, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers generous single-level living, a huge loft room above and lawned grounds that wrap around the house. It has a living room flowing into a dining room, a large kitchen with pantry and utility room, three double bedrooms including a principal bedroom with ensuite, and a detached double garage. Offered with no onward chain, it is a fantastic opportunity for a buyer to put their own stamp on a home with space and potential in abundance.
The front door, with decorative glazed side panels, opens into a wide and welcoming entrance hall that gives access to every ground-floor room. A cloakroom WC sits just off the hall, fitted with a wash basin and WC set into a run of vanity units with plenty of storage. Glazed double doors lead through to the kitchen, and a staircase rises from the hall to the loft room. The staircase is currently fitted with a stairlift.
The living room runs along the front of the house and is a lovely, light-filled space. Wide picture windows frame views across the lawn to the fields beyond, and a windows look straight out onto the paved terrace. An archway leads through to the dining room, which has room for a family table and is also dual aspect. It has its own large window, so the whole space is perfect for entertaining or for watching the seasons change across the countryside.
The kitchen is generously proportioned. It is fitted with a range of wood-fronted units and contrasting worktops, with a peninsula that divides cooking from dining and space for a range-style cooker and further appliances. There is plenty of room for a breakfast table, and French doors open out to the side towards the parking area. A walk-in pantry leads off the kitchen. Beyond it, a separate utility room has a window and its own external door, which is ideal for coming in from the garden or the garage.
The bedrooms sit along the opposite side of the bungalow. The principal bedroom is a spacious double with windows on two sides looking out over the mature trees and greenery, and a full wall of fitted wardrobes. It has its own large ensuite with a walk-in shower behind a frosted glass screen, a wash basin and WC. Bedroom two is another generous double, also with a wall of fitted wardrobes and a pleasant outlook over the grounds. Bedroom three is a further good-sized double, currently used as a hobby and craft room, and would make an equally good guest room or home office. A separate shower room serves these two bedrooms.
The loft room above is one of the standout features of the home. It is boarded and lit and runs the full length of the roof space, with a balustraded stairwell and a small separate room to one side. At the moment it provides enormous storage space. It also offers real scope for a games room, studio or further accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.
Outside, the bungalow sits in generous grounds bordered by mature hedging and trees. The lawned gardens wrap around the house, and a paved terrace runs right around the building, giving plenty of spots to sit out and enjoy the views. A timber pergola stands to the side. A track leads up to a parking area with space for several vehicles, and a detached brick-built double garage with twin doors sits within the grounds. Further areas of cleared ground offer scope to extend the gardens, create a kitchen garden or add more planting.
