Description
This extended four-bedroom home is perfectly positioned.
Close to schools, amenities, Astbury Mere close by,
With the Orange Tree Restaurant just a short stroll away.
Extended with care for modern family living,
With flexible spaces that keep on giving.
Near town, the precinct and retail close at hand,
A home that’s both practical and perfectly planned.
Set in the ever-popular West Heath area of Congleton, this extended four-bedroom link-detached home immediately stands out for its generous proportions, versatile layout and superb location within walking distance of local amenities, highly regarded schools, Astbury Mere and the well-loved Orange Tree Restaurant. Congleton train station is also close by, offering excellent links to Manchester, Macclesfield, Stoke and beyond, while the property is conveniently positioned on a major bus route.
Thoughtfully extended and reconfigured by the current owner, with the extension completed in 2019, the property has been designed with modern family life in mind. Further benefits include a new roof and combi boiler installed in 2019, a full rewire and wired smoke alarm system completed in 2020, and an EV charging point added in 2024—providing comfort, efficiency and peace of mind. Stylish fitted oak doors feature throughout, complemented by attractive Karndean flooring, adding a high-quality finish to the ground floor living spaces. Whether you’re a busy family, a blended household or someone seeking flexible living with a ground floor bedroom, playroom or home office, this home adapts effortlessly to your needs. Excellent access to Congleton Town Centre, West Heath Precinct and Congleton Retail Park further enhances its everyday convenience.
The ground floor welcomes you with an entrance hallway offering useful storage, leading through to a spacious lounge/diner featuring a contemporary media wall and electric wall-mounted fire. A conservatory provides additional living space, while the kitchen/breakfast room offers space for a range cooker and dishwasher, complemented by a breakfast bar for casual dining. A versatile family room—ideal as a playroom, study or ground floor bedroom—benefits from fitted storage units. Completing the ground floor are a practical utility room and a convenient WC.
Upstairs, a generous landing leads to a superb master bedroom with its own dressing area and stylish en-suite, two further double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a well-proportioned single bedroom and a modern family bathroom.
Externally, the property continues to impress with off-road parking for up to four vehicles, gated access to the rear garden, and the already mentioned EV charging point. The rear garden features a paved patio area and laid lawn—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Homes offering this level of space, flexibility and location are rarely available. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this West Heath property has to offer.

- 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.
