Windmill Hill

There’s something about Highcroft. Maybe it’s the way it sits slightly apart… set back from Windmill Hill, calm and considered. Or the way the light moves through it, from the bay-fronted lounge to the garden-facing French doors. Maybe it’s the finish, modern, yes, but not clinical. Warm, well-judged, and clearly cared for. This is a home that has been quietly transformed, not with fanfare, but with thought and finesse. It is detached, with three bedrooms, and deliberately designed for both family life and easy hosting. The open plan kitchen and dining area has been upgraded with intention. Refitted cabinet doors, chrome sockets and switches, glass splashbacks, and a cooker hood vented to the outside bring together practicality and style. A central island creates a space to cook, gather, or simply enjoy a coffee in peace. Thermostats on every radiator provide economic comfort, while renewed and repositioned sockets ensure function meets form. Beyond the kitchen, the bootility is brilliantly flexible – part utility room, part boot room, part home office. With its own entrance, additional door leading to the outside, and freshly fitted electrics and plumbing, it is ready to meet the demands of daily life. Upstairs, three proper bedrooms await. The main bedroom suite offers a touch of luxury with its own en suite shower room and a large dressing room. The family bathroom is another standout, with a freestanding bath, a separate walk-in shower, and tasteful splashbacks. Subtle upgrades, including ceiling lights, chrome sockets, Velux shades, shutters and fresh décor, ensure each bedroom feels complete and inviting. The fully boarded loft offers excellent potential – whether for storage or as a future project to add even more space. The updates do not stop there.

Thoughtfully replaced fittings throughout reflect the level of care, maintenance and attention that has gone into this home. Outside, the garden has been completely reimagined. Professionally landscaped recently with refreshed soil/flower beds, newly installed perimeter fencing, and privacy screens, it now offers a calm oasis, space, and sun. It is west facing and private, with a manicured lawn, cottage garden, decked seating area with floor lighting, and a part insulated summer house with power. The addition of an outside tap keeps things practical, and the front garden has been cleared and opened up, offering generous parking and kerb appeal. The full frontage has shutters, completing the smart exterior. Rough Close is a sought-after spot, close to Stone, the A50, M6 motorway junctions and everyday essentials. And Highcroft? It wears its name well. Uplifting, balanced, and beautifully brought together.
