Description

Take a moment to admire this impeccable four bedroom detached family home which spreads across three floors and boasts four remarkably spacious bedrooms, two of which feature their own independent ensuites.

Downstairs you are immediately welcomed into a bright and airy hallway with the living room and kitchen both offering direct patio door access to the professionally landscaped and tiered rear garden, accompanied by a luxurious Indian stone patio. Not immediately noticeable, the property even boasts additional land to the rear with many of the neighbouring properties taking full advantage of this and extending their gardens further. The property is not directly overlooked, providing the perfect enclave to unwind with a strong sense of privacy which is often lacking elsewhere.

Centrally positioned, just to the West of Congleton which is very fortunate to boast useful amenities and some very beautiful open spaces, with the likes of Back Lane Village Green and Astbury Mere Country Park on your doorstep.

The town centre is only a very short walk away and offers a vibrant nightlife with a good selection of newly opened, high class bars, restaurants and eateries. Congleton also boasts various fitness centres. The town has welcomed a 'Marks and Spencer Simply Food', several supermarket chains, independent butchers and bakers, florists, newsagents as well as essential services including doctors, dentists and chemists.

Back Lane playing fields are a recreational area with Village Green status and are home to a number of soccer and rugby pitches. A number of community clubs can be seen enjoying the facilities at weekends.

Astbury mere was created within a former sand quarry, which has since been beautifully landscaped with a mature lake and over 34 acres of open space. The lake itself is a very attractive piece of water set in a slight valley surrounded, in parts, by mature trees.

The refurbished West Heath Shopping Centre is also very nearby and is located between the Holmes Chapel Road and Sandbach Road. It hosts a wide range of shops and conveniences that include supermarkets, eateries and even a Pharmacy.

Congleton provides excellent access of the North West Motorway networks with nearby junctions at either Sandbach or Holmes Chapel, with commuters often choosing this side of the town to avoid unnecessary traffic at peak times. Trunk roads including the opening of the new bypass provide a link between Stoke-On-Trent and Manchester, as does the local railway station.

Closer inspections are highly recommended. Why not start by taking a moment to admire our immersive, interactive virtual tour.
