Mckelvey Way, Audlem, CW3

In a village that keeps winning awards, this home is a strong contender of its own. This immaculately presented three-bedroom detached house offers approximately 1,200 sq ft of stylish accommodation in the sought-after canalside village of Audlem. With a bay-fronted living room, a sleek kitchen/diner opening into a light-filled conservatory, a utility room, ground-floor WC, an ensuite to the master bedroom and an integral garage, this is a home that has clearly been cared for and styled with real flair, ready for its next owners to move straight in.

The property sits behind a tarmac driveway providing off-road parking and access to the integral garage, alongside a neatly kept lawn edged with colourful, well-established planting, including a striking acer that gives the home real kerb appeal.

Stepping inside, the entrance hall leads to the principal ground-floor rooms and the staircase to the first floor. The living room sits to the front of the house, where a bay window draws in plenty of natural light. Finished in soft, neutral tones with a subtly textured feature wall, it is a calm and elegant space to relax in, with plenty of room for a generous seating arrangement.

To the rear, the kitchen/diner is a real highlight. It is fitted with a contemporary range of white gloss base units contrasted by anthracite gloss tall units and wall cabinets, all topped with marble-effect worksurfaces. There is a one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink positioned beneath the window overlooking the garden, a gas hob with stainless steel chimney hood and splashback, and an integrated double oven set into the tall housing. The kitchen also benefits from an integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer, providing excellent practicality and storage. Recessed spotlights and stone-effect flooring complete the look, while the dining area comfortably accommodates a family table, with French doors opening through to the conservatory.

The conservatory is a wonderful spot to enjoy the garden throughout the seasons. Glazed on three sides with French doors out to the patio, it benefits from tiled flooring, a radiator and fitted blinds for the windows, making it a bright yet comfortable extra reception space.

Off the kitchen/diner, the utility room offers a further run of worktop with a sink, space for a washing machine, and a door out to the side of the property, keeping everyday laundry and muddy boots away from the main living areas. A ground-floor WC, fitted with a pedestal basin and WC, is also found here.

Upstairs, the landing leads to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is a spacious double overlooking the rear garden, finished with a textured feature wall and benefiting from fitted mirrored wardrobes. It has its own ensuite shower room, stylishly tiled and fitted with a walk-in shower enclosure, pedestal basin, WC and a chrome heated towel rail.

Bedroom two is a well-proportioned double at the front of the home, enjoying a lovely leafy outlook and benefiting from its own fitted mirrored wardrobe. Bedroom three is a further good-sized bedroom to the rear, currently arranged as a stylish guest room with a striking feature wall, and would equally suit a child's bedroom or home office. The family bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath with mixer tap, WC and basin, with tiling to half height.

Outside, the rear garden is a real credit to the current owners. A paved patio adjoins the house and conservatory, offering an ideal spot for outdoor dining, and leads onto a lush lawn framed by deep, well-stocked borders filled with mature shrubs, hydrangeas and ornamental trees. A covered seating area tucked into the corner provides a peaceful spot to sit out and enjoy the garden, which is enclosed by timber fencing.
