Farthings, Heathfield Road, Audlem, CW3

AN ATTRACTIVE, CLEVERLY ENLARGED, 1950’ DETACHED BUNGALOW, SET BACK FROM THE ROAD IN A LOVELY, WELL NURTURED, GARDEN SETTING, 300 YARDS FROM AUDLEM VILLAGE CENTRE.

DESCRIPTION

Farthings is constructed of brick under a tiled roof and approached over a gravel drive leading to a car parking and turning area. This excellent detached property represents a very rare buying opportunity within Audlem village. It was built in 1954 and offers the ultimate in flexibility with both ground and first floor bedrooms. It will be suitable for both family’s and those looking to downsize into a prime village location. From the front Farthings looks fairly typical of its 1950’s architecture type being appealing, characterful and interesting. But it doesn’t look particularly large. However, the bungalow has been extended through the years to 1,850 square feet. The majority of the accommodation is at ground floor level with just two bedrooms, a bathroom and an office/store at first floor level.

The rear garden is an absolute delight being South Easterly in its aspect. In addition to the well tendered lawn there is a large raised flagged terrace, well stocked flower and herbaceous borders and a kitchen garden.

LOCATION & AMENITIES

Farthings occupies a fantastic, slightly elevated position, 300 yards from Audlem village centre. Audlem was mentioned in the Doomsday book as Aldelyme, and Edward 1 granted a market charter in 1295. Audlem is on the Shropshire Union canal, which has a run of 15 locks, designed by Thomas Telford to raise the canal 93 feet from the Cheshire plain to the Shropshire plain. The River Weaver passes West of the village. The sought after, award winning, village of Audlem caters for daily needs with local co-operative store, newsagents, dry cleaners, butchers, flower shop, two restaurants, café, three public houses and a medical centre. Nantwich (7 miles) offers a more comprehensive range of services with High Street Retailers, banks, restaurants, leisure facilities and supermarkets. Crewe station (11 miles) provides a fast intercity rail network (London Euston 90 minutes, Manchester 40 minutes). The M6 motorway (Junction 16) is 11 miles. Manchester Airport is 40 miles. There are numerous sports facilities in the area including tennis, bowling, cricket, football, running and cycling clubs in Audlem. There are two 18 hole golf courses at nearby Whitchurch.
