Perfectly situated within one of Sandbach’s most prestigious and discreet residential enclaves, Dingle Lane presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home combining privacy, elegance and exceptional convenience.
Set well back from the lane within an impressively large and secluded plot, the property enjoys a commanding yet understated presence. A generous frontage provides extensive offroad parking alongside a double garage, all framed by mature planting that affords a high degree of privacy.
The accommodation is introduced by a spacious and welcoming reception hallway, immediately establishing a sense of scale and quality. To the front, the principal sitting room is beautifully appointed, featuring a contemporary media wall with a floating electric fire and excellent natural light. Underfloor heating to parts of the room further enhances comfort. Positioned opposite, a dedicated study offers an ideal space for home working or quiet retreat, complemented by a well presented guest cloakroom.
To the rear, the property opens into an exceptional open plan kitchen, dining and family space, thoughtfully extended to create a light filled and highly functional environment. The bespoke kitchen is centred around a substantial island and finished with sleek cabinetry and premium detailing throughout. A striking glass ceiling above the dining area floods the space with natural light, while fullwidth sliding doors provide a seamless connection to the landscaped gardens beyond.

Underfloor heating to both the ensuite and dressing area further enhances the sense of refinement and comfort.
