3 bed flat for sale

Westhead Road, Croston, Leyland PR26

Ben Rose are thrilled to present the rare opportunity to acquire this truly stunning three-bedroom ground floor apartment, set within the beautifully restored 1894 Methodist chapel at the heart of the picturesque village of Croston. Deceptively spacious and thoughtfully refurbished, this remarkable property is one of only two bespoke apartments created within the original building. It combines contemporary living with a high-end finish while proudly showcasing a wealth of character features that speak to its historic roots.

Ideally suited to families, this unique home is within walking distance of highly regarded local schools, including Trinity & St Michael’s Primary School and Bishop Rawstorne High School. The village also offers a charming selection of shops, cafes, and restaurants, with Croston train station just a short walk away, providing excellent commuter links to surrounding towns and cities.

Access to the apartment is available via both the front and rear of the property. At the front, a shared porch leads into a spacious and light-filled communal foyer. This welcoming area is enhanced by impressive dual-aspect windows, an original stained glass feature window, stairs to the first-floor apartment, and convenient under-stair storage. The private entrance to the ground floor apartment is located just off the shared foyer.

Inside the apartment, the hallway serves as the central spine of the home, offering access to the majority of rooms. At the front lies the second bedroom, a bright and generously sized space with large dual-aspect windows, easily accommodating a double bed and additional furnishings. Adjacent to this is the master bedroom, another spacious, sunlit room benefiting from the original windows that flood the space with natural light. The hallway also houses fitted storage and leads to the luxurious family bathroom, complete with high ceilings and a stylish four-piece suite including a walk-in shower and separate bathtub.

At the rear of the property, you’ll find the true heart of the home – an expansive open-plan living and dining area. With soaring ceilings and dual-aspect windows, this impressive space is perfect for entertaining or relaxing with family. A beautiful log-burning fireplace adds warmth and character, while there’s more than enough room for a large dining table, full sofa suite, and additional pieces. Just off the dining area is the third bedroom, another comfortable double currently used as a home office, offering flexibility to suit a range of lifestyles.

Completing the interior is the modern kitchen and breakfast room, which seamlessly flows from the living space. A large central island with breakfast bar seating for four makes it a natural gathering point. The kitchen is fully fitted with integrated appliances, including an oven, hob, fridge, and freezer, and offers direct access to the rear garden.

Outside, the rear garden is a beautiful, low-maintenance retreat, fully flagged and framed by mature plants, shrubs, and a charming brick wall. Thoughtfully designed with gravelled areas, ambient lighting, and space for outdoor seating and storage, it extends along the side of the property and is accessed via a private staircase. Gated access leads to the front driveway, where there is space for one off-road vehicle, with additional on-street parking available.

This is a truly one-of-a-kind home that offers a rare blend of period charm, modern comforts, and a prime village location.
