This detached residence is proudly positioned upon the prestigious and characterful location of Park Lane. Set within a notably generous and private plot, partially obscured from the roadside leading onto a driveway allowing ample private parking in addition to the detached garage.

Upstairs are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with access to a Jack and Jill shower room, in addition to a separate main bathroom. Large windows frame views over the surrounding treetops and townscape, adding to the sense of space and privacy.

Externally, although the gardens are now overgrown, the depth and breadth of the plot offer exciting potential for landscaping, extension or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.

Just a short walk from the charming and historic heart of Congleton town centre, the property is ideally placed to enjoy a wealth of local amenities. From boutique high street shops to thriving independent restaurants, artisan coffee houses, and the much-loved Congleton Market Quarter, everything is within easy reach.

Excellent local schooling and swift access to arterial routes such as the A34 and M6 further enhance the practicality of this location.
