Description

The Property
Big on space, smart in design and ready for family life, this extended semi-detached home sits on a generous plot and offers flexible living with room to grow.

Step through the entrance porch into a welcoming hallway that sets the tone for what’s to come. To the front, the lounge is bright and comfortable, a great place to unwind at the end of the day. It flows straight through to the dining room, creating an easy layout for everyday living and special occasions alike.

Double doors lead you into the heart of the home: a spacious open-plan fitted kitchen and dining area. With a feature island at its centre, this is a space made for busy mornings, homework at the counter and relaxed evenings with friends. There’s plenty of storage and worktop space, and sliding doors open out to the rear garden, bringing in natural light and making indoor-outdoor living simple. A separate utility room keeps laundry neatly tucked away, while the ground floor shower room adds extra practicality.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, offering flexibility for guests, hobbies or working from home. The family bathroom is well placed to serve all rooms.

Outside is where this home really stands apart. To the front, driveway parking leads to a garage, giving you both convenience and useful storage.

The rear garden is a standout feature. Thoughtfully landscaped with different levels and a large pond, it offers an interesting and characterful outdoor space. It’s an adventurous garden rather than a flat lawn, and buyers should note the varying levels and water feature.

For keen gardeners or those needing serious workspace, there’s a substantial workshop and high-quality greenhouses that are a real asset. Whether you’re growing produce, nurturing plants year-round or working on larger projects, this setup provides space and flexibility that’s hard to find.

Set in a popular area of Crewe with good local amenities and transport links nearby.

Property Description DisclaimerThis is a general description of the property only, and is not intended to constitute part of an offer or contract. It has been verified by the seller(s), unless marked as 'draft'.

  • Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
  • Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
  • Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
