AGENTS COMMENT
Situated at the very heart of this sought after village location is Croft House, a Grade II listed detached family residence that is believed to be one of the oldest homes in Newton Solney. This much loved family home stands on a plot which extends to just under quarter of an acre, with a delightful rear garden that is adjacent to pasture land at the rear elevation. The accommodation is over three floors and includes four double bedrooms, four reception rooms and a recently refurbished bathroom. The current vendor has obtained a quotation to create a Jack and Jill shower room on the second floor and there is further potential to create a home to personal tastes.
Newton Solney itself has a strong sense of community with a thriving village hall, bowls club, tennis court and a number of groups and societies. The property itself is just a short stroll from the popular village pubs, The Brickmakers and Unicorn Inn, whilst there are lovely riverside and countryside walks that are readily accessible. Newton Solney infants school has an outstanding rating from Ofsted, senior school catchment falls under John Port at Etwall. For the commuter Burton on Trent and Derby are four and eleven miles respectively, being connected by an hourly bus service, whilst the A38 and A50 are within easy travelling distance.. For more information on the property or village please call Simon Kelsey.
VENDOR COMMENT
Croft House is a great family home, in the heart of a lovely community village, which is why we have lived here for over 32 years.
It is perfectly located for access to schools for all ages,( the village infant school is judged to be “outstanding”) but is on a regular bus route to Burton and Derby, so, when the children are older, it’s not a constant mum and dad taxi to get anywhere.
Living in Newton Solney means you can enjoy country life, but you’re not so isolated you can’t easily access events in Repton, Burton or Derby. It’s an amazing place to live and, when we sell, we intend to stay!
