Whitegates Crewe are delighted to present this well-proportioned two-bedroom end-terrace property located on Ludford Street in Crewe (CW1). The property offers generous accommodation across two floors and is currently tenanted, making it an attractive opportunity for investors as well as future homeowners looking to add their own personal touch. The kitchen has recently benefitted from upgrades, while the bathroom does require significant refurbishment, providing excellent potential to modernise and add value.

The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hallway which provides access to the main ground floor accommodation and staircase to the first floor. The hallway offers a practical layout and creates a natural flow through the home.

The living room is positioned to the front right of the property and provides a comfortable and well-sized reception space. It benefits from a front-facing aspect, allowing natural light to fill the room, creating a bright and inviting setting for everyday relaxation.

Straight ahead from the entrance hallway is the dining room, which serves as a second reception room. This versatile space is ideal for family dining or entertaining and offers flexibility for use as a home office or additional sitting area if required. The dining room also provides direct access to the kitchen, ensuring a practical ground floor layout.

The kitchen is located to the rear of the property and has recently undergone improvements, offering a refreshed and functional space for cooking and meal preparation. It is well positioned within the home and provides convenient access from the dining room.

To the first floor, there are two double bedrooms accessed from the landing. The accommodation continues to offer generous proportions throughout.

Bedroom Two is another well-sized double bedroom, offering ample space for furnishings and flexibility of use, whether as a guest bedroom, child’s room, or study.

The family bathroom is positioned at the rear of the property and is accessed via Bedroom One. While functional, it requires considerable updating and refurbishment, offering an excellent opportunity for the incoming purchaser to redesign and modernise to their own specification.
