Description

Forget the lost ark; the real find is this four-bedroom detached home waiting to be discovered on Jones Avenue. This stylish four-bedroom detached home in Leighton is ready to move straight into, finished in soft, neutral tones throughout and with space that works well for modern family life. Downstairs there’s a generous dual-aspect living room, a bright kitchen/diner with French doors to the garden, a separate utility room and a ground-floor WC. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a principal suite with fitted wardrobes and en-suite shower room, plus a family bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower. Outside, the lawned gardens, paved patio, driveway and detached garage complete a home that will tick plenty of boxes.
The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor, a useful built-in store cupboard and doors leading off to the main ground-floor rooms. A handy cloakroom with a WC and wash basin sits just off the hallway, ideal for guests and busy family mornings.
Running the full depth of the house, the living room is a lovely, light-filled space thanks to a bay window to one side and a second window to the front. Recessed spotlights and fresh, neutral décor set a calm tone, and there’s plenty of room for a large sofa arrangement as well as a home-office corner, as the current owners have arranged it.
The kitchen/diner is the heart of the home and a superb space for cooking, dining and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of sleek, high-gloss grey wall and base units with contrasting white work surfaces and matching upstands. It features an integrated double oven, a hob with a stainless steel chimney-style extractor above, a glass splashback, tall housing units and an inset one-and-a-half bowl sink beneath a window. The dining area has a large window overlooking the garden and French doors that open straight onto the patio, ideal for summer evenings. Spotlights and light tiled-effect flooring run throughout. A door leads through to the utility room, which has matching units and work surface, space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and an extractor fan, keeping the laundry neatly out of the main kitchen.
Upstairs, the landing gives access to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is a peaceful, dual-aspect double with a full wall of fitted mirrored sliding wardrobes, which bounce the light around nicely. There’s ample space for a king-size bed and a dressing table, and a door leads into the private en-suite. It’s fitted with a walk-in shower enclosure with sliding glass door and striking wave-effect feature tiling, a wash basin, WC, part-tiled walls, spotlights and an obscured window.
Bedroom two is a second generous double, again benefiting from fitted mirrored sliding wardrobes, with a side window and neutral carpet. Bedroom three is a further well-proportioned double with windows to two sides, making it a bright room that would suit a teenager, a guest room or a home office. Bedroom four is a comfortable single with a large window, ideal as a child’s room, nursery or study.
The family bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath with mixer tap and handheld shower attachment, a separate shower enclosure with wave-effect feature tiling, a wash basin set on a gloss vanity unit and a WC. It’s finished with part-tiled walls, spotlights and an obscured window.
Outside, the home sits behind a pretty picket fence with planted borders to the front. A neatly striped lawn wraps around the side, edged by a mature laurel hedge and a paved path leading to the front door. A driveway runs alongside the house to the detached garage, which has a roller door and a side pedestrian door into the rear garden. The rear garden is fully enclosed by timber fencing with trellis toppers and has a generous paved patio that wraps around the lawn, giving plenty of space for outdoor dining and entertaining. A gate provides access through to the driveway. In all, the accommodation extends to approximately 1,400 sq ft.
Location:
Leighton sits on the north-western edge of Crewe and offers a pleasant semi-rural setting, with the town’s wider amenities close at hand. Crewe railway station is a major West Coast Main Line hub with direct services to London, Manchester, Birmingham and beyond, making this an excellent base for commuters. The historic market town of Nantwich is a short drive away, with its independent shops, cafés, restaurants and riverside walks. Road links include easy access to the M6 motorway, and Leighton Hospital is nearby. Local schools, supermarkets and leisure facilities are all within easy reach.
