Mount Drive, Nantwich, CW5

Offered for sale for the first time since 1965, this much-loved and well-cared-for family home enjoys a superb position on Mount Drive, one of Nantwich’s most desirable and sought-after residential locations. Properties in this area rarely come to market, and this charming home offers a wonderful opportunity for buyers to modernise and personalise a property with genuine character, in a truly prime setting close to the heart of the town.

The property was designed by the well-known architect Gerald Bennett Dix, whose emphasis was to ensure sunlight in all living rooms, and it was built by the long-standing local firm Sprostons. The house has been lovingly maintained by the same owners for over half a century, retaining much of its original charm and warmth. Although it would now benefit from a degree of modernisation, it has clearly been a cherished family home and offers a solid, well-laid-out footprint with great potential for improvement and extension (subject to any necessary consents).

The accommodation begins with a welcoming hallway giving access to the main living areas. The bright and airy lounge enjoys a pleasant outlook to the rear and features a gas fire with a traditional surround, creating a cosy focal point for the room. From here, glazed doors open into the conservatory, which overlooks the beautiful south-facing rear garden – the perfect spot to enjoy the sunshine and the peaceful surroundings.

The separate dining room is also positioned at the rear of the house, enjoying views over the garden. It’s a versatile space ideal for family meals or entertaining guests. A serving hatch connects through to the spacious kitchen/breakfast room, which offers a range of fitted wall and base units providing ample storage and workspace. There is space for a cooker and fridge/freezer, plumbing for a washing machine, and room for a breakfast table. A handy pantry offers additional storage and could, if desired, be converted into a ground-floor WC. There is also an understairs cupboard providing further useful space.

Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms. Bedroom One is a generous double with two windows providing excellent natural light and views towards the parish church. Bedroom Two is another comfortable double bedroom, while Bedroom Three is a single room that would make an ideal study, nursery, or guest bedroom. The family bathroom includes a bath and wash basin, with a separate WC adjacent. There is also an airing cupboard on the landing.

The property benefits from gas central heating. It should be noted that there is no double glazing, which presents an opportunity for future upgrades to improve energy efficiency as part of a modernisation programme.

One of the true highlights of this property is the delightful south-facing rear garden. Mature, private, and beautifully proportioned, it features a large lawn surrounded by well-stocked borders, trees, and shrubs, offering colour and interest throughout the year. The garden enjoys excellent sunlight and a peaceful outlook, and whilst one can hear the church bells from the garden, the view of the parish church is from the bedrooms – a charming reminder of the town’s heritage. It’s an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing in a tranquil space.

To the side of the house is a boiler room providing additional storage and housing the gas-fired boiler. There is also a detached single garage and driveway providing off-road parking.

Mount Drive itself is a particularly well-regarded location, within comfortable walking distance of Nantwich town centre and its excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and amenities. The area is also convenient for well-respected local schools, pleasant riverside walks, and easy access to transport links for Crewe, Chester, and the M6 motorway network.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a property in one of Nantwich’s most desirable settings, with endless potential to update, extend, and create a stunning family home to suit modern living. With its generous plot, mature south-facing garden, and wonderful position, this property offers a fantastic chance to make your mark in a truly special location.
