Description

Don’t judge a book by its cover — this deceptively spacious bungalow is full of surprises.

From the front it appears to be a traditional detached bungalow, but step inside and you’ll discover a thoughtfully extended home offering far more space and flexibility than first meets the eye. Brought to market for the very first time since it was built, this is a rare opportunity to secure a versatile property in one of Congleton’s most sought-after residential areas.

To the rear, a superb extension creates a bright sitting room and a charming garden room, complete with a cast-iron stove and back boiler — an additional, cosy heat source alongside the gas-fired central heating and PVCu double glazing. The home is solidly constructed with brick elevations beneath a tiled roof, offering comfort and practicality in equal measure.

Outside, the property continues to impress. The front garden is neatly laid to lawn, with pathways leading to the rear and a long driveway providing excellent parking, finishing at the detached garage. The rear garden has been beautifully landscaped, featuring a delightful fish pond with pump system housed in one of the three sheds. Another shed has been cleverly converted into a fully functioning utility room with power, lighting, hot and cold water, and plumbing for a washing machine. The remaining garden space is laid to lawn with well-kept borders and secure fencing.

Positioned in the ever-popular Buglawton suburb, the location is hard to beat. Open countryside and peaceful canalside walks are close by, while a handy convenience store, reputable primary schools (Buglawton and Havannah), and a welcoming local pub are all within easy reach. Commuting is simple too — Macclesfield is easily accessible, and Congleton railway station offers regular express services to Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent.

Congleton itself provides the best of both worlds: a vibrant nightlife with pubs, restaurants and fitness facilities, alongside fantastic outdoor pursuits including the nearby Peak District National Park. The town centre offers a great mix of independent shops and national retailers, including Marks & Spencer Simply Food, Tesco, butchers, florists, newsagents, chemists, doctors and dentists.

A unique, extended bungalow in a prime location — early viewing is strongly recommended.
