3 bed detached house for sale

Windmill Hill, Rough Close ST3

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 vented cooker hood bring together practicality and style. A central island creates a space to cook, gather, or simply enjoy a coffee in peace. New thermostats on every radiator make comfort adjustable, while 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 entrances and freshly fitted electrics, it is ready to meet the demands of daily life. Upstairs, three proper bedrooms await. The main suite offers a touch of luxury with a dressing room and its own en suite shower room. The family bathroom is another standout, with a freestanding tub, a separate walk-in shower, and tasteful splashbacks. Subtle upgrades, including new ceiling lights, chrome sockets, Velux shades, 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. Security lights, a serviced alarm, new locks, yearly boiler servicing, and thoughtfully replaced fittings throughout reflect the level of care and attention that has gone into this home. Outside, the garden has been completely reimagined. Professionally landscaped with new soil, fencing, and privacy screens, it now offers calm, space, and sun. It is west facing and private, with a manicured lawn, decked seating area with floor lighting, and an insulated summer house with power. A new 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, and everyday essentials. And Highcroft? It wears its name well. Uplifting, balanced, and beautifully brought together.
