Pull off Crewe Road and through the gated entrance to Sandicroft, where the sweeping driveway leads up past a large front lawn dotted with mature trees, which enhance the sense of privacy and separation. Parking is plentiful, both on the driveway, where there is space for multiple vehicles, motorhomes, caravans and horse trailers, with capacity to host over twenty cars for family occasions and parties. Dating back to 1910, Sandicroft holds true to its sense of integrity within, while outdoors, the original stables and outbuildings have been thoughtfully adapted for modern use, now offering flexible garaging, storage and workshop space, perfectly attuned to the home’s country setting. OWNER QUOTE: “The home is ideal for entertaining, with plenty of space for all and a great flow. We’ve had some great parties here over the years.” **Elegant entrance** Revealing its heritage instantly upon arrival, traditional Victorian tiled flooring flows underfoot in the entrance hall, a broad and bright space, enhanced by additional elegant period flourishes, from arches to ceiling rose and cornicing. Freshen up in the cloakroom, accessed from the hall on the left. Airy, roomy and balanced, the rooms lead off from the entrance hallway at the front and rear. Subtle hints connect Sandicroft to its early 20th century heritage, with light streaming into the dining room on the right through a canted bay window, brightening the room throughout the day. A true family home in every sense, the variety of reception rooms at Sandicroft offer all ages the freedom to spread out and settle into their own routines, while remaining well connected for everyday life together. Next door to the dining room, the lounge is testament to this easy balance. Warmed by an inviting, gas open-style fire with a coal-effect finish, it sits at the heart of the home. Ideal for relaxed evenings and family time, doors open through to the conservatory for parties or on sunny summer days, allowing the home to open up for sociable moments. **Room to work, rest and play** Turning left from the entrance, the study provides a peaceful place to work from home, with built-in oak shelving for books and a soothing green palette, reflecting the views across the fields to the front, inviting the outdoors subtly in. **Versatile spaces** Natural tones continue through the rear hallway, where stairs lead down to a cellar currently used as a games room. In keeping with the late-Edwardian aesthetic of the home, classic black-and-white checkered flooring features, with ample space for a full-sized pool table; ideal for use as a teenager hangout or bar room when entertaining. Back upstairs, turn right to discover the home gym, where deep blue walls balance the light streaming in through windows to the front and side. Another versatile room, it could easily work as a second study or playroom. **Family time** Classic, timeless design keeps in beat with modern family living in the kitchen, where handmade, in-frame Shaker cabinetry has been tailored to the tall ceiling height, creating deep, practical storage. Repainted four years ago in a contemporary grey, the solid wood units can be updated as fashions fade. At the heart of the kitchen, the large central island is a natural gathering point on busy mornings, with space for little ones to trail behind as permission slips are signed, water bottles filled and nursery snacks assembled. Appliances include a Rangemaster cooker and Bosch dishwasher, with space for an American-style fridge. A wide arched opening connects the kitchen to a dining area within the conservatory, while the main conservatory sits beyond as a distinct space, where a further brick arch hints at the home’s original front entrance. From the conservatory, doors opening out to the garden for easy summer entertaining. Accessed off the kitchen, Amtico flooring continues underfoot through into the utility room; a practical space with attractive arched windows and plumbing for a washing machine. Also connecting to the gym, past a former servants staircase leading up to the first floor, the utility is a highly convenient room. Reconnecting with the entrance hall, the original wooden staircase rises past a half-landing, where light pours in through a large window above, before opening onto a first-floor landing where scale and space again reflect the benefits of period living. On the left, the first of five bedrooms offers comfortable space for a double bed, with built-in wardrobes and a large window looking out across the garden to the rear. A cream-and-red poppy feature wall adds colour and personality, making it a welcoming and well-proportioned room. Next door, the master bedroom is decorated in mature shades of dove grey, with far reaching views out over open countryside and space to refresh and revive in the privacy of the shower room en suite. **Soak and sleep** Across the landing, an archway leads through to an inner landing, where a third bedroom is flooded with light from windows to two aspects. Refresh and revive in the modern bathroom opposite, finished in warm, earthy tones and furnished with a shower and separate, freestanding bath set beneath the window, perfect for a leisurely evening soak. Bedroom four awaits next door, another comfortable and spacious single bedroom with serene views out over open countryside. Meanwhile, the fifth bedroom, another double, positioned next to the second staircase, is an ideal choice for guests, with access directly down and to the kitchen for making a morning cuppa. **Entertaining haven…indoors and outdoors** Outside, Sandicroft’s scope and scale when it comes to everyday family living and exceptional entertaining continues. ** **Safe and secure, the fully enclosed, south-facing rear garden is ideal for children and pets, stretching back from the broad paved patio, easily accessed from the conservatory. A brick-built pergola creates a natural link between terrace and the lawn beyond, festooned with fairy lights, creating a magical party ambience post-dusk. Different seating areas follow the sun throughout the day, offering so much space for relaxed gatherings and larger celebrations alike. OWNER QUOTE: “Summer is a lovely season, it’s such a sociable garden.” At the far end of the garden, a formal ornamental pond brings a sense of calm and draws visiting wildlife, adding to the garden’s established, natural feel. **Out and about** Amidst the hustle and bustle of the modern world, Sandicroft stands apart, offering a true taste of country living whilst keeping its finger on the pulse of life. Making the most of its village setting, all the amenities of Haslington are within easy reach. A well-served and sociable village, Haslington is home to three local pubs, a Morrisons Daily, Co-op, butcher, Chinese and Indian takeaways, with a medical centre, dentist, chemist, hairdressers, barbers and a nursery all close by. Community life thrives, served by a cricket club, bowling green and social club where live music brings weekends to life. Meanwhile the large, natural beauty spot of Winterley Pool, less than a mile away, is a peaceful place for walks with a canine companion. Surrounded by open fields, countryside walks and circular routes of varying lengths, stroll out from the doorstep and choose your route. Crewe Golf Club is also close by. Families are well served by two local village primary schools, while a range of well-regarded secondary options lie nearby. Many families choose the respected single-sex secondary schools in Sandbach, both rated “Good” by Ofsted and offering mixed sixth forms, while further secondary provision can be found in Crewe for those preferring mixed education. A bus route runs through the village, with a stop a short walk from Sandicroft, providing practical links towards Sandbach, including access to school bus services for secondary pupils. Rural, but not remote, Sandicroft is well placed for commuting with Crewe railway station approximately three miles away, Sandbach station around 3.5 miles and the M6 easily accessed. With its period warmth, spacious layout and effortless flow, Sandicroft substantiates its promise of timeless family living. Unique, refined and with space to grow both indoors and out, Sandicroft ensures the ethos of Edwardian homemaking remains true in the 21st century. **Disclaimer** The information Storeys of Cheshire has provided is for general informational purposes only and does not form part of any offer or contract.
