## Description

Tucked away at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac on the increasingly popular Tavistock Park development is this attractive detached family home.

Being sold for the first time, our current vendors purchased the house from new back in 1996 and have loved living here and we think any lucky purchasers will too.

Over the years, the house has been improved to include partly new windows and doors, updated kitchen and bathroom and a welcome addition of a conservatory added to the rear. The total floor area is just shy 1,400 Sq ft and one of the most impressive features is the fact there are four, decent sized double bedrooms, making this a perfect home for a growing family in a convenient location.

Coverdale Fold is a small cul-de-sac in the village of Ettiley Heath which is just a short 10-15 minute walk to Sandbach train station with regular trains to Manchester, Manchester Airport and Crewe where internal links can be accessed. If you commute using the motorways, junction 17 of the M6 is a five minute drive from here. For those with children, Sandbach has a range of highly regarded primary and secondary schools and all are within walking distance from our subject property.

To summarize - this is perfect home for a growing family, 1,400 Sq ft of accommodation and a convenient location. An internal viewing is a must to fully appreciate what is on offer.

EPC rating: D. Tenure: Freehold,
