Description

Situated within a peaceful cul-de-sac on the highly regarded Abbeyfields development in Sandbach, this immaculately presented four-bedroom detached home offers a superb balance of space, style and practicality. Constructed in 2018 by reputable builders Anwyl Homes, the property combines contemporary design with well-planned family accommodation.
The ground floor begins with a welcoming entrance hallway, setting the tone for the rest of the home. To one side is a bright and comfortable lounge, enhanced by a feature wall, creating the perfect space to relax. To the opposite side, a versatile reception room offers flexibility as a formal dining room, home office or playroom, ideal for modern family lifestyles.
To the rear of the property is the true heart of the home — an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family area, designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary high-gloss units, quality work surfaces and integrated appliances, while French doors and feature glazing provide plenty of natural light and direct access to the rear garden. A separate utility room and downstairs W.C. add further practicality, with stylish LVT flooring running throughout much of the ground floor.
To the first floor, the property offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which are comfortable doubles along with a generous single. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom finished to a high standard.
Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front there is a driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, complete with an EV charging point, along with access to the detached garage. To the rear is a beautifully landscaped garden, thoughtfully designed with a combination of lawn and patio seating areas, ideal for outdoor entertaining and family use. A summer house provides additional versatile space, perfect for use as a home office, gym or garden retreat.
Abbeyfields is a highly desirable development set within a pleasant parkland setting, conveniently located close to Sandbach town centre, excellent schools, local amenities and transport links including the M6 motorway and Sandbach railway station.
This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a modern, move-in ready family home in one of Sandbach’s most sought-after locations.
