Occupying a prime corner position, this modern and immaculately presented home benefits from a larger-than-average plot, offering enhanced privacy, excellent outdoor space, and an ideal setting for family living.

Externally, the property enjoys off-street parking via a driveway to the side, leading to a detached single garage fitted with power and useful overhead storage—perfect for keeping seasonal items neatly tucked away. The rear garden is a real highlight; due to the corner plot, it enjoys a sunny aspect throughout the day, creating a true sun trap. The space is not overlooked, offering a high degree of privacy, and provides a generous, secure area ideal for children, pets, and outdoor entertaining.

You are welcomed into a bright and spacious hallway that immediately creates a warm first impression. The layout has been thoughtfully designed, with the staircase positioned within the hallway to create a natural division between living and dining spaces. There is ample room for coats, shoes, and additional storage furniture if desired, making it both practical and inviting.

Just off the hallway is a conveniently located downstairs W/C, neatly presented with modern fittings including a low-level toilet and wash hand basin, providing a practical addition for both residents and guests.

To the left, the living room is an exceptionally generous and versatile space. The bay window enhances the sense of space and character while allowing natural light to flood the room, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout the day. The room comfortably accommodates a wide range of furniture layouts, making it ideal for both relaxing evenings and entertaining guests.

To the right, the kitchen diner forms the heart of the home and has been designed with both practicality and sociability in mind. The kitchen offers extensive worktop space and a wide range of cupboards, providing excellent storage and preparation areas. There is ample room for appliances, while the dining area easily accommodates a large family table, making it perfect for everyday meals and gatherings. Double French doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing light to pour in and creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Leading from the kitchen is a separate utility room, offering a dedicated space for white goods and additional storage. This helps keep the main kitchen area uncluttered while also providing direct access to the side driveway, adding further convenience for day-to-day living.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with four well-proportioned double bedrooms, a rare and highly desirable feature. The main bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with plenty of space for a large bed and additional furniture, complemented by fitted wardrobes that provide excellent storage. It also benefits from its own en-suite shower room, fitted with modern fixtures to create a comfortable and private space.

The second bedroom is another spacious double, easily accommodating a full range of bedroom furniture and offering a bright and comfortable environment. The third bedroom is similarly well-sized, making it ideal for family members, guests, or alternative uses depending on your needs.

The fourth bedroom is currently used as a home office, demonstrating the flexibility of the accommodation. Despite its current use, it remains a generously sized double room, showing that all bedrooms within the property offer excellent proportions and versatility.

The family bathroom is both spacious and well-appointed, featuring a separate bath and shower, making it ideal for busy households. The layout is practical while maintaining a modern and clean finish, offering a relaxing space to unwind.

This stunning home is modern throughout and presented to a high standard, meaning it is completely move-in ready—perfect for buyers looking for a hassle-free purchase. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, condition, and location this superb home has to offer.

The property is ideally situated close to Leighton Hospital and Bentley Motors, making it particularly appealing for professionals. There are also a range of well-regarded local schools, convenient shops, and excellent transport links nearby, providing easy access to Crewe town centre and beyond.
