Crewe Road, Madeley Heath, CW3

A home so sweet, even the maple syrup would be jealous!

Nestled in the heart of Madeley, this charming semi-detached gem dates back to 1914 and has since been whisked into the modern day with a renovation that perfectly blends contemporary flair with its original character. Think vintage charm meets stylish swagger… with just a drizzle of maple magic throughout.

Step through the front door and into the entrance hall, where you’re greeted by a staircase dressed to impress in a Coir herringbone weave carpet runner, alongside an original door that feels like a portal into the home’s rich past. It’s your first hint that Maple Lodge is no ordinary property, it’s got stories to tell. The ground floor opens up into the true “sap” of the home: a beautifully connected dining, living, and kitchen space, flooded with natural light and brimming with personality. The dining room sets the tone with a gorgeous original open fireplace framed by emerald green tiles, a front-facing window with sleek grey shutters, and original sanded floorboards that guide you effortlessly into the living room. Here, things get extra cosy. A built-in log burner crackles away like it’s auditioning for a winter advert, complemented by a vertical radiator and stylish panelled walls, perfect for evenings that call for fluffy socks and something warm in hand.

The kitchen continues the story with a delightful mix of original charm and practical design. Original quarry tiled flooring, bespoke handmade wooden cabinetry, fired earth splash back tiles and solid wood worktops create a warm, welcoming feel, while a Belfast sink with a stainless steel tap and integrated appliances including three integrated ovens, ensure it’s as functional as it is beautiful. From here, you can step out into the garden or venture down to the converted basement, more on that treat in a moment.

Upstairs, the home keeps delivering. Bedroom one is a generously sized double at the front, complete with original floorboards, a feature fireplace and dual-aspect windows (double glazed with secondary glazing, peace and quiet included) showcasing rural views. Bedroom two mirrors the charm with its own feature fireplace, restored flooring, and built-in airing cupboard, while bedroom three proves that good things come in slightly smaller but still double-sized packages. The shower room adds a quirky nod to the home’s heritage, featuring a walk-in shower, sink, fired earth floor tiles and the original WC, because some classics are just too good to replace. The landing is spacious and versatile, currently moonlighting as a study area, complete with Coir herringbone weave carpeting and those wonderfully high ceilings that give the entire home an airy, character-filled feel.

Now, let’s head down to the basement, because Maple Lodge doesn’t just stop at charming, it goes full-on impressive. This converted space is currently set up as a cinematic retreat, perfect for movie nights that turn into movie marathons. Alongside it, you’ll find an additional double bedroom with stylish wall panelling and an ensuite family bathroom that’s basically a spa in disguise: Burlington bathroom suite, full tub with overhead shower, illuminated Bluetooth mirror, limestone flooring, fired earth wall tiles and sleek finishes throughout.

Outside, the magic continues. The brick walled secret garden is less “garden” and more enchanted wonderland. Multiple patio areas and a BBQ area invite you to follow the sun throughout the day, while lush vines and greenery create a peaceful escape. A wooden pergola shelters a cosy seating area atop artificial grass, ideal for lazy afternoons, evening drinks or simply pretending you’re in your own secret retreat. To the front, a driveway ensures off-road parking for two cars is easy. A 7kw EV charger adds eco charm and car convenience for all, while Agate Grey frame windows with sound-laminate double glazing adds exterior appeal.

And the location? You’re perfectly placed in Madeley, with excellent schools, (including a 2024 rated outstanding Primary School opposite), amenities and transport links all close by, making everyday life as smooth as Maple Lodge itself.

Warm, inviting, full of character and just the right amount of quirky. A home that doesn’t just tick boxes, it taps trees, bottles charm and serves it up generously. Give us a call today to book a viewing and view the sweetness for yourself -
