There is plenty of room to spread out, different rooms can adapt to suit changing needs and the provision of **two shower rooms, one on each floor**, means the accommodation can work particularly well for couples, families, guests or those who simply enjoy having dedicated spaces for different interests. The welcoming **entrance hall** provides a good-sized cloak cupboard and leads into the **large lounge**, a comfortable room with garden views and an attractive feature fireplace. There is a lovely sense of space here, making it easy to imagine relaxing, entertaining or simply enjoying the outlook over the garden. The **kitchen** is also a good size, fitted with a traditional white suite, integrated appliances and plenty of storage and worktop space. It provides a practical everyday space with enough room to enjoy cooking and spending time together. An **inner hall** acts as the central hub of the ground floor, giving access to all the main rooms while also providing deep built-in understairs storage. **Bedroom One**, at the rear of the property, enjoys a lovely garden outlook and has a feature garden door, creating a particularly pleasant connection with the outside. **Bedroom Three** also overlooks the rear garden and is currently used as a dining room, demonstrating the flexibility of the accommodation. It could equally become a bedroom, study, hobby room, snug or additional living space depending on your lifestyle. The **ground-floor shower room** is clean and well presented, with a large shower. With bedroom accommodation, living space and a shower room all on the ground floor, the property genuinely functions as a bungalow, while the first floor adds another whole dimension to the home. Upstairs, the **landing** provides deep eaves storage, perfect for suitcases and keeping everyday living spaces uncluttered. **Bedroom Two** is particularly generous in size and has a masterful feel, with multiple glazed windows providing attractive views and built-in wardrobes. The **large first-floor shower room** is another excellent feature, offering generous proportions and built-in storage. The layout is where this property really comes into its own. **You are not restricted to one way of living here.** Use the first floor as your private sleeping accommodation and enjoy the generous ground floor for living, dining and hobbies. Give over rooms to guests, work, crafts or relaxation. Alternatively, live predominantly on the ground floor and retain the first floor as an excellent guest suite, hobby area or private retreat. The two shower rooms help make this flexibility genuinely practical, allowing different parts of the house to work independently. **There is room to spread your interests across the span of the home rather than having everything competing for space in the same few rooms.** Outside, the property continues to offer excellent space. A **front-to-rear tarmac driveway** provides ample parking, complemented by an attractive golden gravelled front garden. The rear garden is a particularly enjoyable feature, with an **Indian stone terrace** providing an excellent setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply sitting and enjoying the garden. Steps lead down to a lawn, with mature, well-stocked borders providing privacy and a lovely established feel. There is space for a greenhouse, together with a detached concrete sectional garage/workshop. The property is situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac within the established Lower Heath area, with easy access to local schools, shops, parks, green spaces and countryside. Congleton town centre and the retail park are only a short drive away, while the nearby link road and A34 provide excellent commuting connections. **A home with genuine versatility, generous proportions and plenty of good spaces to enjoy. Clean, tidy and well presented, with flexible rooms, two shower rooms, attractive gardens and no onward chain — a property that gives you the freedom to live in it your way and enjoy it for many years to come.** EPC Rating: E**Entrance Hall** (1.22m x 1.35m) **Lounge** (3.61m x 5.04m) **Inner Hall** (1.73m x 4.2m) **Kitchen** (2.27m x 3.66m) **Bedroom 1** (3.04m x 3.03m) **Bedroom 3/ Dining Room** (2.26m x 2.84m) **Shower room** (1.69m x 2.33m) **First Floor Landing** (1.73m x 2.79m) **Bedroom 2** (3.15m x 3.84m) **Shower room** (2.71m x 2.83m) **Detached concrete sectional garage** (2.54m x 4.87m) **Garden** 2 tier rear garden **Parking - Driveway** ## Property Photos - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025546) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025547) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025548) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025549) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025550) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025551) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025552) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025553) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025554) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025555) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025556) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025557) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025558) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025559) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025560) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025561) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025562) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025563) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025564) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025565) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025566) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025567) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/92304894/2025568) ## Floorplans - ![All](/listings/photos/92304894/2025569) - All ## FENSA Certificates This property has 1 FENSA certificate(s) on record. ### FENSA Certificate #8292146 - **Address:** 5 Devon Place, CONGLETON, CW12 1PB - **Certificate Issued:** 18/07/2011 - **Work Completed:** 08/06/2011 - **Items:** 1 window(s) ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
