Tenford Lane, Tean, ST10

Ten reasons to move to Tenford Lane! And yes, we could probably think of plenty more! Number One: five bedrooms with two doubles and three good sized singles, meaning there’s room for everyone, whether you’ve got a growing family, frequent guests or simply want a bedroom that doesn’t double up as the ironing room. The master even has its own walk-in wardrobe, while all the singles have built-in storage, so there’s no shortage of places to hide the things you swear you’ll sort out one day! Number Two: the current owners have done the hard work for you! Since purchasing, they’ve renovated and upgraded the property extensively, including the electrics, plumbing, boiler, extensions, kitchen and solar panels, meaning you can move in and enjoy rather than immediately reaching for the toolbox. Number Three: the living room is absolutely enormous. Okay, slight exaggeration, but it is incredibly spacious, with a large front-facing window and a cosy fireplace making it equally suited to family chaos, movie nights or putting your feet up and pretending you can’t hear the children arguing upstairs. Number Four: the kitchen is rather lovely too, with sleek dove-grey handleless cabinetry, a stone-effect worktop and integrated cooker and hob. Stylish, practical and, most importantly, plenty of storage for all those kitchen gadgets you bought with the very best intentions. Number Five: then there’s the garden room. Full-width glazing floods the space with natural light, while double patio doors open straight onto the garden. Currently used as both a dining room and office, it’s wonderfully versatile, although we suspect it could also become the designated ‘quiet room’, depending on how busy family life gets. Number Six: need even more space? Of course you do. The side extension currently provides a huge utility/cloakroom area with plumbing and its own external door, but its future is entirely up to you. Home gym, hobby room, boot room, laundry headquarters or somewhere to escape with a cup of tea, you decide. Number Seven: there are solar panels, because apparently being surrounded by beautiful countryside wasn’t enough; this home also wants to help keep an eye on those energy bills. Add in the recently upgraded boiler and this is a house with practicality firmly in mind. Number Eight: the garden. Secure, fenced and a lovely mix of lawn and patio, it’s ideal for children, dogs, barbecues, garden furniture or simply standing outside on a sunny day saying, ‘You know what, we’ve done alright here.’ Beyond the garden are rolling fields, giving you that wonderfully rural outlook without having to live in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Number Nine: you’re located in Tean, so village life comes as standard. There are pubs within walking distance, a convenience store, independent shops, a café and even a green play area behind the property for the children to burn off some energy, although no guarantees this will actually make them tired. Number Ten: despite all that countryside charm, you’re not cut off from civilisation. The neighbouring market town of Cheadle is just around five minutes away for supermarkets, shops and eateries, while commuters can take advantage of access to the A50 and regular bus routes from the village. There’s also a selection of well-regarded local Primary and Second schools in and around the village making this a location that manages to combine rural tranquillity with everyday convenience. And if we’re being completely honest, there’s an eleventh reason too: there’s NO UPWARD CHAIN! So, if five bedrooms, extensive recent renovations, flexible living space, solar panels, a gorgeous garden room, rolling countryside views, village amenities and town convenience sound like your kind of combination then Tenford Lane might just be the one. Ten reasons were promised, but we think you’ll find plenty more once you’re here!
