'Spring Cottage' 48 Heathfield Road, Audlem, Crewe, CW3 0HH

Welcome to Spring Cottage, an exceptional and beautifully extended two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow situated in the highly sought-after village of Audlem. Immaculately presented and thoughtfully updated throughout, this charming home perfectly combines contemporary style with countryside tranquillity, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy modern living in a truly idyllic rural location.

From the moment you step through the front door, it’s clear this home has been designed with comfort, practicality, and elegance in mind. The welcoming entrance hall includes cleverly designed built-in storage, ideal for coats, shoes, and everyday essentials, helping to maintain the home’s tidy and uncluttered aesthetic.

At the heart of the property lies a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space, extended to create a light-filled, sociable environment perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. The vaulted ceiling adds a wonderful sense of height and space, while the full-width bi-fold doors invite the outside in, opening directly onto the rear garden and framing breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

The kitchen itself is both stylish and functional, featuring a range of timeless Shaker-style base units, a premium Range Master cooker, integrated dishwasher, under-counter fridge, and plumbing for a washing machine. Whether you're cooking for guests or enjoying a quiet coffee at the breakfast table, this space is designed to be enjoyed every day.

The adjoining dining area flows seamlessly from the kitchen, creating an inviting atmosphere for meals and gatherings, all while enjoying views of the garden and fields beyond.

The main bedroom is a calm and sophisticated retreat, complete with bespoke built-in wardrobes and elegant plantation shutters that add a touch of timeless charm. The second bedroom is also a generously sized double, again featuring stylish plantation shutters, and is perfect for guests, a home office, or additional family accommodation.

The beautifully appointed bathroom is finished to a high standard, with a sleek P-shaped bath and a mains-fed shower over, a modern WC, a contemporary wash hand basin, and a mirrored bathroom cabinet with integrated LED lighting – the perfect space to relax and unwind.

Throughout the property, engineered oak internal doors bring warmth and cohesion to the decor, complementing the high-quality finishes found in every room.

Step outside into the private rear garden and you’ll find a serene and sun-drenched space, featuring a lovely wooden decked area perfect for al fresco dining or summer evenings with friends. The well-maintained lawn leads your eye toward uninterrupted, panoramic views of rolling farmland – a truly peaceful backdrop that enhances the unique appeal of this countryside home. A garden shed with power and lighting is also included in the sale and currently houses a freezer and tumble dryer, offering excellent additional utility space.

To the front, a generous driveway provides private parking for two to three vehicles, making this home as practical as it is beautiful.

Spring Cottage also offers exciting future potential, with lapsed planning permission previously granted for a first-floor extension to create a luxurious master bedroom with ensuite. This gives buyers a fantastic opportunity to further enhance the property’s living space and value, subject to reinstating planning.

Located in a wonderfully tranquil part of Audlem, a vibrant and well-loved village known for its community spirit, picturesque canal walks, and excellent local amenities including pubs, shops, and cafes, this home offers the very best of countryside living with all the essentials close by.

This is a truly exceptional home, ready to move into and enjoy from day one – with scope to make it even more special. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything Spring Cottage has to offer.
