Description
Whitegates in Crewe are pleased to present this wonderful three bedroom detached style TRUE BUNGALOW, positioned on a substantial plot, within the prestigious location of Wistaston. The family home itself is just as impressive as the approach, benefitting from three excellently sized bedrooms, kitchen/utility room, two airy reception rooms, a fabulous green setting to the rear with a lawned area boarded by plants, shrubs and trees, a detached garage, driveway parking and plenty more! An exceptional opportunity and within touching distance of well-regarded schools and local amenities. For more information and to arrange your viewing please contact our Whitegates Crewe Office.
First impressions really count and this stunning property certainly has kerb appeal! From the driveway you step into the entrance porch, which leads to a light and spacious entrance hallway. The hallway is spacious and has a convenient fitted storage cupboard, whilst allowing access to the living room, kitchen/utility, the family bathroom and all three bedrooms. The open plan living/dining room is a versatile room with plenty of natural lighting from the large window to front aspect and French doors to the rear aspect. The living room is a great space for any bustling family, with a fitted electric fireplace and would make a great entertaining space with an arch opening into the dining room. The kitchen/utility room is another great space with huge potential to renovate or extend, having a breakfast bar, two sinks, three spaces for appliances and houses the Worcester Bosch combi boiler. Moving into the master bedroom, a double room with an ensuite shower room and overlooking the wonderful rear garden. Bedroom two is another double room, benefitting from built in wardrobes with glass fronted doors and bedroom three is small double and faces the front aspect. A family sized bathroom completes the accommodation.
Externally the home has an excellent approach, driveway parking for multiple vehicles, a lawned front garden with plans and shrubs, large and private family-sized rear garden, completed with a grass verge, plants, shrubs and trees. Gated access both sides, with space for bins and a shed which will stay. The detached garage is another huge benefit to this property, fitted with electrics and an electric roller door, this makes a great storage space or can be used as a garage.
To truly appreciate the position and plot you really will need to view it!
Well regarded schools such as Wistaston Church Lane Academy, The Berkeley Academy and St Marys Catholic Primary School are in close proximity. High schools include St Thomas Moore and Shavington Academy. South Cheshire College is also within walking distance.
