Alvaston Road, Nantwich, CW5

Calling all dreamers, schemers and Pinterest-board collectors: your next project has arrived in Nantwich. Offering approximately 1,000 sq ft of accommodation arranged over three floors, this four-bedroom home is in need of modernisation, giving a buyer the chance to put their own stamp on it from the start. With a living room, separate dining room and kitchen, a ground-floor bedroom with its own ensuite, three further bedrooms including a generous loft-level room, a family bathroom, an enclosed rear garden and a garage, it suits growing families, buyers in need of ground-floor living, or anyone looking for a project with real potential. Advertised with no onwards chain.

To the front, a low-maintenance gravelled garden with brick edging sits alongside a block-paved pathway leading up to the front door, with established hedging adding a touch of greenery.

The front door opens into the living room, a comfortable reception space with a leaded window to the front and a feature fireplace with a timber surround and marble-effect hearth, which makes a natural focal point for the room. The staircase rises from here to the first floor, while an opening leads through to the dining room, offering space for a family table and providing access to both the kitchen and the ground-floor bedroom.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of cream shaker-style wall and base units, complemented by dark speckled worktops, tiled splashbacks and tiled flooring, along with a stainless steel sink and space for a cooker. French doors open directly onto the rear garden, letting in plenty of natural light and making it easy to step outside on summer evenings.

Also on the ground floor, bedroom one enjoys a window overlooking the rear garden, with room for wardrobes and a desk, and benefits from its own ensuite bathroom fitted with a bath, wash basin and WC. Having a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor is a real asset, ideal for multi-generational living, a guest suite, or anyone who would rather avoid the stairs.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing, with a window to the front, provides access to two bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom three is a well-proportioned room with a leaded window to the front, while bedroom four overlooks the rear and is ready for full redecoration, offering a blank canvas to create a child’s bedroom, nursery or home office. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over and glass screen, a pedestal wash basin and WC, finished with large-format white wall tiling and a frosted window.

A further staircase leads up to the second floor, where bedroom two is the largest bedroom in the home. Set within the eaves, this spacious room features sloping ceilings, a dormer window enjoying an elevated outlook, and handy built-in eaves storage, making a fantastic retreat for a teenager or a peaceful main bedroom away from the rest of the house.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden has been laid out for easy upkeep, with gravelled areas, two paved patio spaces ideal for outdoor seating, and brick-edged borders. A mature rowan tree provides a striking seasonal feature, while a timber shed offers useful outdoor storage and timber fencing encloses the garden. The property also comes with a garage, located in a nearby block, providing secure storage or parking.

The property requires a programme of updating throughout, but its practical layout and well-proportioned rooms make a solid starting point. For buyers with vision, this is an exciting opportunity to create a home tailored entirely to their own taste and style.
