Property description

Astons Estates are extremely proud to bring to the market a Commissioned by Colonel Thatcher, the property was erected in 1904 and, combined with the adjoining property, which is now a separate dwelling formed a rather grand residence and at the time was the only house in Broad Street. Always known as ‘The Croft’, the property was divided between the two World Wars, with ‘The Croft’ retaining two thirds of the main structure. In 1985 the old stables were removed, but the property has retained all of its original features including: a magnificent reception hall, tiled flooring, all the original cornices, ceiling roses and picture rails. In the Reception Hall there is a mullion window with a window seat and the original porcelain stove, which served the heating for the building.

The property now has gated off-road parking for numerous cars, with a detached double garage and a good sized garden, whilst still offering potential for further expansion to a vast attic, subject to the usual consents.
