Description

Heywoods are delighted to present this three bedroom semi-detached property on Chester Crescent, a well regarded residential address within the ever popular Westlands area of Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Set on a generous plot, this home represents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a property with genuine potential. The house would now benefit from a programme of modernisation, allowing the next owner to update, redesign and improve the accommodation to suit their own requirements. With no upward chain, it is an attractive option for those looking to move without delay.
The accommodation begins with a storm porch, leading into a welcoming entrance hallway with an understairs cupboard. To the front aspect is a bay fronted dining room, which provides a bright and characterful space. Doors lead through to the lounge, positioned to the rear aspect, which overlooks the rear garden area and features an attractive fireplace. The ground floor also includes a fitted kitchen with a range of units and work surfaces, along with additional storage and a downstairs W.C. located just off the kitchen. The layout offers plenty of flexibility, with scope to create a more open and modern living arrangement if desired, subject to any necessary approvals.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two of which are doubles, along with a third single bedroom which would be ideal as a nursery, home office or dressing room. There is also a modern shower room, making the property well suited to families, first-time buyers looking for a project, or purchasers seeking a long-term home in a desirable location.
One of the standout features of the property is the outside space. The South facing rear garden enjoys the sun all day and is particularly spacious, offering an excellent degree of privacy, providing plenty of room for children, entertaining and gardening. The size of the plot also makes the property ideal for extension, subject to relevant planning permission. A driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a single garage.
Chester Crescent is ideally placed for access to Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre, local shops, schools and everyday amenities. The location is also convenient for Royal Stoke University Hospital, Keele University and the wider road network, making it a practical choice for commuters and professionals.
Offering space, location and significant potential, this is a rare chance to acquire a home on a substantial plot in one of Newcastle-under-Lyme’s most sought after residential areas.
