Description

Situated in the heart of the desirable village of Haslington, this attractive three-bedroom semi-detached home, known as Clifford Villas, offers a wonderful blend of character features and modern updates. Built in 1908, the property retains many original elements including UPVC sash-style windows, open fireplaces and high ceilings, while also benefiting from a thoughtful rear extension to enhance everyday living.
The ground floor offers well-balanced and flexible accommodation, beginning with a welcoming entrance hallway. To the front of the property is a reception room currently utilised as an additional bedroom, offering excellent versatility for use as a sitting room, home office or playroom. Moving through the property, there is a further reception room positioned centrally, providing a comfortable living space which connects seamlessly into the dining area. The dining space is open-plan to the kitchen, creating a sociable layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, with French doors opening out onto the rear garden.
The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of units and integrated appliances, offering both practicality and style while benefiting from a pleasant outlook over the rear garden.
To the first floor, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with the added benefit of an en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom, finished with contemporary fittings.
Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front is a stoned frontage with boundary hedging, providing a low-maintenance and attractive approach, while to the rear is a beautifully established cottage-style garden, offering a private and characterful outdoor space. There are also several useful outbuildings including a brick-built shed with power, which could be adapted to suit a variety of uses such as a workshop or home office.
Haslington is a highly regarded village offering a strong sense of community along with a range of local amenities including shops, pubs, schools and green spaces. The property is well positioned for access to Sandbach town centre, Crewe railway station, and the M6 motorway (J16 & J17), making it ideal for both families and commuters.
This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a characterful yet versatile home in a prime village location, offering space, flexibility and charm in equal measure.
