Description
Built in the early 1990s and thoughtfully cared for ever since, the property immediately impresses with its welcoming atmosphere and balanced layout, ideal for modern family life. A spacious entrance hallway sets the tone before leading through to a superb front-to-back living and dining room, flooded with natural light and perfectly designed for both everyday living and entertaining. French doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating an effortless connection between inside and out during the warmer months.
To the front of the home, a dedicated study provides an ideal work-from-home space, whilst the breakfast kitchen remains clean, functional and immaculately presented with plenty of storage and preparation space for busy family life.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys the added luxury of an en-suite shower room, complemented by two further generous double bedrooms and a well-proportioned single bedroom ideal for children, guests or an additional home office. A family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.
Externally, the property continues to impress. The rear garden has clearly been lovingly maintained, offering a private and manageable outdoor space to enjoy throughout the seasons. A driveway provides ample parking and leads to the detached garage. Beyond this lies a particularly exciting addition — a versatile studio space complete with its own en-suite shower room, perfect for those seeking a home business space, creative studio, gym, guest accommodation or independent workspace.
The location is equally appealing. Weaverham remains one of Cheshire’s most sought-after villages, loved for its strong sense of community, historic character and superb everyday amenities. Excellent local schools, independent shops, cafés, pubs and scenic countryside walks are all within easy reach, whilst nearby Northwich and the wider motorway network provide excellent commuter links across the region.
A superb opportunity to secure a spacious detached village home with exceptional versatility in a quiet yet highly convenient setting.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the lifestyle and flexibility this wonderful home has to offer.

- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
