Description

Exceptional four bedroom detached family home located on the beautiful Somerford Gate development in Somerford.

'The Bowyer' has an eye catching mock façade. It stands on an enviable corner plot with wrap around gardens and a picturesque outlook overlooking the pond.

Our current owner has only lived here for a very short space of time, yet leaves this impressive homes with a wonderful array of luxurious upgrades including extensive fitted wardrobes (installed by Hammonds), landscaped gardens with an artificial lawn and a fantastic garden building (currently used as a games room).

Buying a relatively new home is a good choice as they are often far more energy efficient than a second hand one. Thanks to modern standards of insulation and the latest energy saving devices they have lower running costs compared to traditional homes and are much more affordable to live in.

Somerford Gate is a modern and very popular development which is fantastic for commuters, with the newly opened Wolstenholme Elmy Way minutes away. This provides excellent access of the North West Motorway network with nearby junctions at either Sandbach or Holmes Chapel. Trunk roads provide an efficient link between Stoke-On-Trent and Manchester, as does the local railway station.

Located toward the West of Congleton. The nearby West Heath is a popular suburb which is often favoured for its excellent school catchment. It is home to two Primary Schools (Quinta and Black Firs) and Congleton High School, all of which are easily within walking distance. The West Heath Shopping Centre is located between the Holmes Chapel Road and Sandbach Road. It hosts a wide range of shops and conveniences that include supermarkets, eateries and even a Pharmacy.

Congleton town centre offers a vibrant nightlife with a good selection of newly opened, high class bars, restaurants and eateries. Congleton also boasts various fitness centres. The town has welcomed a 'Marks and Spencer Simply Food', several supermarket chains, independent butchers and bakers, florists, newsagents as well as essential services including doctors, dentists and chemists.

This area of Congleton is very fortunate to enjoy useful amenities and some very beautiful open green spaces, with the likes of Back Lane Village Green, Brereton Heath Country Park and Astbury Mere Country Park all on your doorstep.

Closer inspection is highly recommended. Why not start by taking a moment to admire our immersive, interactive virtual tour.
