Croston is widely regarded as one of the most picturesque villages in the region. Celebrated for its rich heritage and charming character, the village offers a superb selection of traditional pubs, outstanding schools, and a host of local amenities. Its own train station provides direct links to Ormskirk and Preston, making Croston both exceptionally convenient and highly sought after.

Church Street is one of Lancashire’s oldest and most iconic streets, often featured in period dramas due to its historic charm. Number 10 occupies a prominent position along this picturesque lane and delivers a quintessential village lifestyle combined with beautifully preserved period features. Arranged over four floors, including a basement and loft room, this remarkable Grade II listed Victorian home was built circa 1845 and offers 1,372 sq. ft. of character-filled accommodation. Lovingly maintained and sympathetically modernised, the home blends timeless features—such as sash windows, high ceilings, original wood flooring, and feature fireplaces—with the comforts of modern living.

The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, a front sitting room with a striking fireplace, and a charming kitchen-diner fitted with handcrafted cabinetry and an exposed fireplace with stone surround and Rayburn cooker. Off the kitchen there is a walk in pantry/larder with stone steps leading down to a useful basement level. The main staircase rises to a spacious first-floor landing, revealing two generous double bedrooms full of period charm, along with a well-appointed family bathroom. The top floor hosts a versatile loft room with a Skylight window—ideal as an office, studio, or occasional bedroom.

Externally, the property enjoys a delightful and densely planted cottage-style garden with romantic views towards the church, offering a serene and private outdoor retreat. In addition, a rare and highly desirable feature is the inclusion of a separate plot of land located just a short stroll away via the churchyard and across the river. This privately owned allotment has been lovingly developed into a thriving orchard, home to a wide variety of mature fruit trees.

This is a truly rare opportunity to acquire an extraordinary and historically significant home in the heart of one of Lancashire’s most treasured villages. Viewings are highly recommended.
