Description

Tucked away in a quiet and highly desirable cul-de-sac position on Windmill Drive, right in the heart of the award-winning village of Audlem, this exceptional detached family home is offered with the benefit of no onward chain. Representing a fantastic opportunity for a growing family to secure a home in one of Cheshire’s most sought-after locations, the property occupies an impressively large plot with a generous rear garden, ample off-road parking, and a large attached garage.

The ground floor layout has been thoughtfully designed to offer both practical family spaces and excellent areas for entertaining. Passing through the storm porch and entrance hall, which features a useful downstairs WC, you are welcomed into the central hallway. From here, double doors open into a remarkably spacious, dual-aspect sitting and dining room that spans the full depth of the property, flooding the space with natural light. The kitchen is centrally positioned and leads through to a highly functional boot room, providing a perfect transition area from the garden or garage. Beyond the boot room, a lovely reception room with double doors opening to the patio serves as a versatile space, ideal as a playroom, snug, or garden room.

Moving upstairs, the sense of space continues across a well-balanced landing with built-in storage. The property boasts four spacious bedrooms, ensuring everyone in the household has their own comfortable retreat. The main bedroom is a particular highlight, featuring built-in wardrobe space and its own private en-suite shower room. The remaining three bedrooms are well-proportioned and share a modern family bathroom. Situated within easy walking distance of Audlem's vibrant village centre, scenic canal pathways, and excellent local schooling, this superb home is ready for its next exciting chapter.
