Description

Perfectly positioned in one of Sandbach’s most desirable and discreet locations, Dingle Lane offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a high end family residence that blends exclusivity with unrivalled convenience.

Set on an impressively large and private plot, the property sits elegantly back from the lane, framed by a generous front garden, extensive off road parking, and the added benefit of a double garage. Despite its peaceful setting, it is just moments from the heart of Sandbach town centre, giving residents immediate access to boutique shops, artisan cafés, award?winning restaurants, and the historic cobbled market square. It is a rare combination of privacy and centrality that very few homes can offer.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a grand, spacious hallway that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home. To the left, a beautifully presented lounge enjoys natural daylight from the front aspect and features a contemporary media wall with a floating electric fire, creating a sophisticated yet cosy atmosphere. Portions of the lounge also benefit from underfloor heating, adding an extra layer of comfort to the space. To the right, a dedicated office provides the perfect environment for remote working or quiet study, and a well appointed downstairs WC is conveniently positioned off the hallway.

The rear of the property opens into a breathtaking open plan kitchen, living, and dining space, which has been thoughtfully extended to create a modern, luxurious environment ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The bespoke kitchen features a central island, sleek cabinetry, and premium finishes throughout. Above the dining area, a stunning glass ceiling floods the space with natural light, while sliding patio windows seamlessly connect the indoors with the outdoors. Underfloor heating runs through parts of the living and dining area, ensuring year round warmth and comfort. From here, the views stretch across the bowling green and towards the picturesque Sandbach Park, offering a serene backdrop year round. A generously sized utility room sits just off the kitchen, providing additional storage and practicality.

Upstairs, the property offers four beautifully proportioned bedrooms. Bedrooms three and four enjoy peaceful views over the rear garden, with bedroom three benefitting from built in wardrobes. Bedroom two features its own en-suite, ideal for guests or older children. The primary suite is a standout feature of the home, a spacious, luxurious retreat complete with a private shower room, a dedicated gym or dressing room, and even a sauna, offering a spa like experience within your own home. Both the en-suite and the dressing room benefit from underfloor heating, enhancing the sense of luxury and comfort within the primary suite.

The gardens at 12 Dingle Lane have been meticulously landscaped to create a series of beautiful, functional spaces designed for relaxation, entertaining, and family life. A raised, slabbed terrace provides multiple seating areas with ample room for outdoor furniture, making it the perfect spot to unwind while enjoying the open views. Stepping down to the lower garden, you’ll find a well kept lawn, additional seating zones, and a charming outdoor pizza oven, ideal for hosting gatherings on warm summer evenings. A dedicated area with rattan furniture offers yet another inviting space to enjoy the tranquillity and privacy of this exceptional plot.
