Description

FABOULOUS 'FREEHOLD' DETACHED HFAMILY HOUSE WITH ONWARD NO VENDOR CHAIN!

We are proud to present to market 68 Congleton Road, a bay fronted 1930s detached home with stylish modern design.

The open plan family room through dining kitchen is a social hub, with bifold doors onto the porcelain flagged entertaining terrace outside.

Those same porcelain tiles wrap around both sides of the home, and the expansive driveway to the front is laid of the same, with space for multiple vehicles (our client has parked 5 here in the past, with space to spare).

Other modern conveniences include Hive controlled gas central heating, outdoor lighting and power, and the infrastructure in place for electric vehicle gates to the front, along with potential for EV charging.

SPACIOUS ACCOMODATION

As with most 1950s builds, the space is well proportioned and generous throughout. Two reception rooms downstairs are complemented by dining kitchen, WC and utility area.

Moving upstairs, you will find three generous double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an additional fourth bedroom. This fourth bedroom is currently utilised as a dressing room, with fitted bedroom furniture, but could easily be converted back into nursery or office if required.

INTELLIGENTLY DESIGNED PLOT

The plot itself is generous, just over a tenth of an acre, and has been well thought out in it's design and improvement by the current owner.

The frontage has been enhanced by enlarging the driveway, creating ample room to turn your vehicle. The entertaining terrace to the rear has been nearly doubled in size to create a modern, stylish space to host family and friends, while maintaining a lawned area for little legs to play.

We could continue, but invite you instead to tour the property yourself to truly appreciate. Appointments can be arranged via Reeds Rains on now.
