## Description

*** COMING SOON ***

Tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac in West Heath’s sought-after scene,

This striking five-bed, three-storey home is everything in between,

With space and style in every room you’ll see,

And no onward chain — it’s smooth and stress-free.

A stroll away from shops, schools and green spaces to explore,

With Astbury Mere’s scenic walks right on your door,

Congleton town is just a short drive down the way,

With cafés, bars and shops to fill your day,

And with trains, buses and roads all close at hand,

Manchester, Liverpool, Stoke — all within your command.

Positioned at the end of a small cul-de-sac in the heart of West Heath, this impressive five-bedroom, three-storey family home offers space, style and superb convenience — all with the added benefit of no onward chain.

Perfectly located within walking distance of West Heath Shopping Precinct, well-regarded primary and high schools, and scenic countryside walks including Astbury Mere, this home is ideal for growing families. Just a short drive takes you into Congleton Town Centre, with its range of shops, cafés, bars and major supermarkets, while excellent transport links via road, bus and rail (from Congleton Train Station) provide easy access to Manchester, Liverpool, Stoke and beyond.

Inside, the property is beautifully laid out. The ground floor welcomes you with an entrance hallway, convenient WC, and a spacious lounge featuring a charming fireplace with gas fire. The standout modern kitchen/diner offers a fantastic social space, complete with French doors opening onto the rear garden and additional glazed doors into the lounge, creating a light and flowing layout.

The first floor boasts three generous double bedrooms, including a master with en-suite, fitted wardrobes to bedroom three, a well-appointed family bathroom and useful storage cupboards — with the added luxury of underfloor heating to both the family bathroom and en-suite. The second floor adds further flexibility, offering another double bedroom and a small double room, previously used as an office and already equipped with CAT5 cabling — ideal for home working.

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, there is ample off-road parking for four or more vehicles, along with a garage featuring an electric roller door, power and lighting.
