## Description

Heywoods Estate Agents welcome to the market this beautifully presented three bedroom semi-detached family home, situated on Pennine Way in the established residential area of Knutton, Newcastle-under-Lyme. Having undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment, this exceptional property has been thoughtfully transformed to offer stylish, contemporary living accommodation finished to an impressive specification throughout. Combining modern design with practical family living, this stunning home is ready for its new owners to move straight in and enjoy, making it an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, young families and those seeking a beautifully finished property without the expense or disruption of carrying out further improvements.

The current owners have undertaken a comprehensive renovation, with significant investment in both the appearance and essential infrastructure of the property. Improvements include a partial electrical rewire, replumbing, replastering throughout, the installation of new windows, a contemporary composite entrance door, a stunning new kitchen, a luxurious new bathroom and attractive new flooring throughout the entire home. The result is a fresh, modern and welcoming property where considerable attention has been paid to the quality of the finish and the finer details.

Upon entering through the stylish composite front door, you are welcomed into a bright and inviting entrance hallway, with attractive flooring and a staircase rising to the first floor. From here, access leads into the generously proportioned living room and dining area, a wonderful space designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Extending the full depth of the property, this impressive reception room benefits from an abundance of natural light, with a large window overlooking the front aspect and French doors opening onto the rear garden. A charming fireplace with an exposed brick surround and log-burning style stove creates an attractive focal point, adding warmth and character to the contemporary interior. The room comfortably accommodates both a substantial seating arrangement and a family dining area, offering a versatile setting for everyday living and social occasions.

The beautifully appointed kitchen is undoubtedly another standout feature of this home. Recently installed and finished to a high specification, it showcases sleek sage green cabinetry, elegant marble-effect work surfaces and matching splashbacks, creating a sophisticated yet timeless appearance. Contemporary fittings, integrated cooking appliances and a stylish sink complement the design, while a breakfast bar positioned beneath the rear-facing window provides an ideal spot for informal dining, morning coffee or catching up with family. The kitchen has been carefully planned to maximise storage and workspace, offering an excellent balance of practicality and modern style.

To the first floor, the landing provides access to three bedrooms and the beautifully refurbished family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a particularly attractive and comfortable double room, offering generous proportions and plenty of space for bedroom furniture. Tastefully decorated in soft, contemporary tones, the room features a striking timber slatted feature wall with complementary blush accents, creating a stylish and relaxing retreat. The second bedroom is a well-proportioned room, ideal for use as a child's bedroom, guest accommodation, dressing room or home office, while the third bedroom offers further flexibility to suit the needs of the individual purchaser or growing family.

Completing the first-floor accommodation is the exceptional family bathroom, which has been completely redesigned to deliver a luxurious, boutique-inspired finish. Featuring a contemporary bath with an overhead rainfall shower and stylish black fittings, an elegant countertop wash basin with vanity storage and a modern low-level WC, the room is further enhanced by beautiful marble-effect wall finishes, decorative fluted panelling, an illuminated circular mirror and a contrasting black heated towel rail. A cleverly concealed cupboard discreetly houses the gas central heating boiler, maintaining the bathroom's sleek and uncluttered appearance. The combination of textures, quality fittings and carefully considered design creates a particularly impressive space.

Externally, the property continues to offer plenty of appeal. To the front, a driveway provides valuable off-road parking for two vehicles, a particularly practical feature for modern family living. Established hedging offers a degree of privacy from the roadside, while a pathway leads to the front entrance. Gated access to the side provides a useful route through to the rear garden. The rear garden is a generous and enclosed outdoor space, predominantly laid to lawn with established boundary hedging and fencing. A gravelled pathway and seating area provide opportunities for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation, while the lawn offers space for children to play or for purchasers to further personalise the garden to their own tastes.

Pennine Way is conveniently positioned within the established residential community of Knutton, offering easy access to a range of everyday amenities, local shops, schools and recreational facilities. Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre is within easy reach, providing a wider selection of supermarkets, independent retailers, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities. The nearby Keele University campus and Royal Stoke University Hospital are also accessible, making the location particularly appealing to those working within these major local institutions.

For commuters, the property is well placed for access to the A34, A500 and M6 motorway network, providing convenient connections towards Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford, Crewe and the wider Midlands. Stoke-on-Trent railway station offers mainline rail services, including connections towards Manchester, Birmingham and London, further enhancing the appeal of this well-connected location.

Offering the combination of extensive refurbishment, stylish interiors, versatile accommodation, private driveway parking and an established residential setting, this outstanding semi-detached home represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a property where so much of the hard work has already been completed. From the striking contemporary kitchen and beautifully finished bathroom to the extensive improvements undertaken throughout, this is a home that genuinely needs to be viewed to appreciate the standard of accommodation on offer.

An excellent first-time purchase and equally well suited to a growing family, this impressive home is certain to attract considerable interest. Heywoods Estate Agents strongly recommend an early internal inspection to fully appreciate everything this superb property has to offer.
