Description
Situated within a modern and highly regarded residential development on the outskirts of Shavington, this impressive four-bedroom detached home enjoys a prime corner plot position, offering both space and privacy in a peaceful, family-friendly setting. With attractive open views to the front and a park just a short stroll away, this is a superb location for those seeking a balance of convenience and lifestyle.
The development itself forms part of a wider, well-planned residential area popular with families and professionals alike. Known for its quiet surroundings and strong sense of community, it benefits from a semi-rural feel while remaining within easy reach of Crewe town centre. Residents enjoy excellent connectivity, with Crewe railway station approximately 1 mile away, providing direct links to major cities including Manchester and London, making it ideal for commuters.
The area is also well-served by reputable local schools, nearby amenities, and green open spaces, while Crewe offers a wide range of shopping, leisure facilities, and parks such as Queens Park. The wider CW2 postcode is known for its affordability, strong community demographic, and a high proportion of family households, further enhancing its appeal as a place to put down roots.
The scale of the outdoor space is immediately apparent, with a wrap-around garden featuring a well-maintained lawn and patio area, which is ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or family life. The property also benefits from a double garage complete with overhead rafters for additional storage, a shelving rack to the rear, and a fitted workbench. A generous driveway provides off-road parking for up to three vehicles with ease.
Internal Living.
Internally, the home is equally impressive. The welcoming entrance hallway includes under stairs storage and a convenient ground floor W.C. A versatile second reception room offers the perfect space for a home office, study, or playroom.
At the heart of the home is a stunning full-depth kitchen/diner, an exceptional, light-filled space that truly stands out. Featuring an extensive range of base units, wall-mounted cupboards, and fitted work surfaces, the kitchen is both stylish and practical. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, double eye-level fan-assisted electric oven, five-ring gas hob with extractor, dishwasher, and washing machine. A large front-facing window floods the room with natural light, while double French patio doors from the dining area open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
The spacious living room can be accessed from both the hallway and dining area, offering flexibility in layout and use. This comfortable space has a wall mounted TV and patio doors leading out to the garden, making it ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. The living room is versatile and lends itself to great space for a range of configurations.
First Floor.
Upstairs, the property boasts four well proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a standout feature, with dual-aspect windows, fitted mirrored sliding wardrobes, and a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room. Bedroom two enjoys a prime front-facing position with a lovely outlook, while bedrooms three and four are located at the rear, both offering ample space for furnishings.
The family bathroom is fitted with a bathtub and shower over, W.C., wash hand basin, and a heated towel rail.
Further enhancing the property’s appeal are 14 solar panels, significantly reducing electricity costs and making this a highly economical home to run.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious, well-appointed family home in a superb location, offered to the market with no upward chain.
Externally.
The garden is a particularly impressive feature of the property, wrapping around the home and making full use of the generous corner plot. Predominantly laid to lawn, it offers an excellent amount of space for families, children, or keen gardeners, while the patio area provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining and entertaining in the warmer months. The layout allows for a great sense of openness without compromising privacy, and the positioning of the plot ensures plenty of natural light throughout the day.
