Churchwood Stanley, 2 The Lane
Description
Step off the drive and into a bright hallway where the renovation sets the tone. Fresh décor, new wood-effect flooring and smart pull-out storage beneath the stairs make this a practical arrival space. The living room sits to the right, bay-fronted and filled with light. It looks out across open farmland so the view is the first thing you notice, with a handy alcove ready for shelving or a media unit. Everything here is newly finished, from the flooring to the paintwork.
Straight ahead, the wall has been opened to create a proper kitchen diner with room for a family table. The kitchen was installed in August 2025 and it shows: soft-closing grey shaker units, warm wood-effect worktops and an integrated oven with a four-ring gas hob and extractor. A stainless-steel sink and drainer sit beneath the window, there’s plumbing and space for a washing machine, and further space for additional appliances. French doors draw the eye to the garden and make summer dining a simple slide-open job.
Upstairs, new carpets continue across the landing and into two generous bedrooms. Bedroom One sits to the front and enjoys elevated views over the fields. Dual windows keep it bright and there’s a built-in cupboard over the stairs for easy storage. Bedroom Two looks down the garden and would work just as well as a guest room or home office. At the rear is the newly fitted bathroom, also completed in August 2025, with a P-shaped bath and shower over, a vanity basin with storage, low-level WC and marble-effect wall panels for a clean, modern finish.
Outside, secure gated side access leads from the front to a fantastic rear garden measuring around 125 feet. A paved terrace by the French doors is perfect for seating, beyond which a long level lawn stretches out between panel fences with established trees adding character and shade. The front is laid to lawn with a freshly finished driveway providing off-road parking. The loft has a fixed ladder, lighting and boarding plus insulation, so it’s genuinely useful for storage.
Practical notes that matter: the property is a 1930s brick-and-block semi-detached, freehold and offered vacant. Windows, the front door and rear French doors are new. The gas boiler is brand new with around ten years of warranty remaining and was serviced in September 2025. Electrics were checked in September 2025. There’s mains water with a meter, standard mains drainage, good mobile coverage and ADSL broadband. Neighbours are very pleasant and quiet. The football ground behind the garden brings a community feel and occasional match-day activity.
