Description

A SPLENDID AND SUBSTANTIAL 1930’S DETACHED HOUSE WITH ATTRACTIVE SOUTH WEST FACING GARDENS IN THE HEART OF OLD WISTASTON
DESCRIPTION
7 Princess Drive was built in 1937 of brick under a tiled roof and is approached over a gravel drive leading to a large car parking and turning area. It has been a much loved family home and comes to the market for the first time in over 50 years. The house itself is much larger than it might initially appear, having been skilfully developed and enlarged through the years and in total comprising 1,850 square feet plus the detached garage.
Internally there is an impressive blend of original period features with tasteful contemporary quality that blend together to form a first class family home. The house is very bright, with bay windows, French windows, lattice windows and dual aspect rooms. Original features include a fine oak staircase, parquet wood block floors and plate racks.
The gardens are a delight and provide a wonderful setting for this exceptional home.
LOCATION & AMENITIES
7 Princess Drive occupies a particularly pleasant position in the heart of old Wistaston in an established residential locality. It is ideally located about two miles from Nantwich and two miles from Crewe Railway Station (London Euston 90 minutes, Manchester 40 minutes), Junction 16 of the M6 Motorway is 7 miles and Manchester International Airport about a 45 minute drive. There is a post office, Spar, nursery and veterinary practice about half a mile distance in Wells Green and also a doctors surgery within the locality. There are both a primary and secondary school within walking distance from the property.
