Description

This substantial detached four-bedroom residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive family home occupying a generous plot in one of the area’s most sought-after locations. Combining spacious and versatile accommodation with exciting potential to further extend or reconfigure (subject to the necessary consents), the property offers both immediate comfort and outstanding future possibilities.

Set well back from the road behind a sweeping tarmacadam driveway providing extensive off-road parking, the home enjoys an impressive presence with expansive lawns, a detached open-fronted brick-built car port and enclosed courtyard-style gardens to both sides and rear.

Internally, the accommodation is both welcoming and versatile. A bright and spacious reception hall with oak effect flooring leads to a cosy snug, ideal as a second sitting room, home office or playroom. The superb lounge through dining room extends to an impressive 25 feet, enjoying abundant natural light from its large bow window and dual aspect glazing, centred around a striking living flame gas fire with polished cast iron surround and granite hearth — creating a superb space for both family living and entertaining.

The breakfast kitchen is fitted with a stylish range of modern high gloss units with granite effect work surfaces, integrated fridge, space for a range cooker and slate tiled flooring, whilst the adjoining utility room provides excellent additional storage and laundry facilities with direct access to both the garden and integral garage. A contemporary cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys dual aspect windows, fitted furniture and access to a beautifully appointed en suite shower room featuring a walk-in rainfall shower and modern vanity fittings. Three further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite including separate shower enclosure and fully tiled walls and flooring.

Outside, the property continues to impress. The rear and side courtyard gardens create private and low-maintenance outdoor spaces ideal for entertaining, enhanced by Indian stone paving and an attractive raised pond water feature. The generous overall plot offers excellent scope for extension or further landscaping, allowing purchasers the opportunity to tailor the home to their own requirements over time.

Perfectly positioned within easy walking distance of the town centre, the property benefits from an exceptional range of amenities quite literally on the doorstep, including independent shops, bakeries, convenience stores, cafés, barbers and an eclectic selection of restaurants and traditional hostelries. For those who enjoy the outdoors, beautiful countryside walks can be found moments away at the end of Howey Hill, providing access to some of Cheshire’s most picturesque rural scenery.

A characterful and highly individual family home in a prime setting, offering space, versatility and exciting future potential in equal measure.
