Description
Whitegates Crewe are delighted to present this exceptional three-bedroom semi-detached family home, occupying a highly desirable position on Crewe Road in the sought-after village of Shavington. Beautifully presented throughout and offering an abundance of versatile living space, this impressive home has been thoughtfully designed to cater for modern family life. Boasting spacious open-plan reception rooms, a well-appointed kitchen, three well-proportioned bedrooms, a contemporary family bathroom, a substantial private rear garden and an outstanding detached summer house providing additional accommodation, this property offers a wonderful combination of comfort, practicality and flexibility.
Stepping inside, you are welcomed by a spacious entrance hallway which creates an inviting first impression and provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation. The layout has been carefully arranged to create an effortless flow throughout the home, making it ideal for both everyday family living and entertaining alike.
Positioned to the front of the property is the elegant dining room, a bright and spacious reception room enhanced by a beautiful bay window which fills the space with natural light. Offering ample room for a large dining table and additional furniture, this is the perfect setting for formal dining, family meals or entertaining guests.
From here, the accommodation flows seamlessly into the generously proportioned lounge, positioned centrally within the home and serving as the heart of the property. This welcoming living space offers plenty of room for comfortable seating and provides a natural transition between the front dining room and the rear sitting area. The open-plan arrangement creates a wonderful sense of space whilst still allowing each reception area to retain its own individual purpose, making the home feel both sociable and functional.
Continuing through to the rear, the sitting area enjoys an abundance of natural light thanks to double doors opening directly onto the rear garden. This delightful additional reception space offers excellent versatility and could easily be utilised as a family room, garden room, children's play area, reading space or home office. Overlooking the private garden, it provides an excellent connection between the indoor living accommodation and the outdoor entertaining space, allowing the home to be enjoyed throughout every season.
The kitchen is well-appointed with an excellent range of fitted units providing ample storage and preparation space for everyday cooking. There is plenty of room for essential appliances whilst the practical layout ensures functionality for busy family life. A convenient side entrance offers easy external access, further enhancing the practicality of this well-designed home.
Ascending to the first floor, the landing provides access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is an excellent-sized double room enjoying peaceful views over the rear garden, with ample space for a full range of bedroom furniture. The second bedroom is another generous double, offering equally impressive proportions and making it ideal for family members or guests. Completing the bedroom accommodation is the third bedroom, a well-sized single room offering flexibility as a child's bedroom, nursery, dressing room or dedicated home office depending upon individual requirements.
Serving the first floor is the spacious family bathroom, fitted with a modern suite comprising a bath, separate shower enclosure, wash hand basin and WC. The generous proportions ensure practicality for growing families whilst offering both comfort and convenience.
Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, a substantial driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles, adding both practicality and excellent kerb appeal.
To the rear is a truly outstanding garden which represents one of the property's finest features. Generous in both size and length, the garden enjoys an exceptional degree of privacy with no overlooking properties behind, creating a peaceful and secluded outdoor retreat. Its impressive proportions allow for an abundance of natural sunlight throughout the day, whilst also offering shaded areas perfect for relaxing during the warmer months. Whether entertaining family and friends, allowing children to play safely or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the surroundings, this remarkable outdoor space caters effortlessly to every lifestyle.
Positioned at the far end of the garden is an exceptional detached summer house which has been thoughtfully designed and constructed to provide genuine additional living accommodation. Offering remarkable versatility, it comprises a spacious sitting and dining room, a separate lounge, an additional bedroom, a useful store room and its own shower room. This fantastic space lends itself perfectly to a variety of uses including guest accommodation, a home office, studio, gym, games room, teenage retreat or multi-generational living, providing an invaluable extension of the main residence.
Situated within the highly regarded village of Shavington, the property enjoys an enviable location close to an excellent range of local amenities. A selection of shops, cafés, convenience stores and everyday services are all within easy reach, whilst the area is particularly popular with families due to its well-respected schools including Shavington Primary School and Shavington Academy. Excellent transport links place Crewe town centre and Crewe Railway Station just a short drive away, with direct rail services connecting to Manchester, Birmingham and London. The nearby A500 and M6 motorway network also provide convenient access for commuters travelling throughout Cheshire and beyond.
Properties offering this level of accommodation, versatility and outdoor space are rarely available. Early viewing is therefore highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this exceptional family home has to offer.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
