***Guide Price of £325,000 - £350,000***

Some homes squeeze onto their plot; this one has the whole corner to itself. This characterful three-bedroom semi-detached home sits on a generous wedge-shaped corner plot in the sought-after village of Wistaston and is offered for sale with no onward chain. With one bay-fronted reception room, a kitchen, three bedrooms, a bathroom and separate WC, along with a gated driveway, double garage and private rear garden, it has been lovingly maintained over the years and now offers a wonderful opportunity for the next owner to add their own touch to a home with real period charm.

To the front, double wrought iron gates open onto a large pattern-imprinted driveway, offering plenty of off-road parking for several vehicles and leading to a substantial double garage with twin up-and-over doors. Mature hedging, conifers and shrubs wrap around the boundary, screening the house from the road, while a gate alongside the house leads through to the rear garden. The red-brick frontage, hipped tiled roof and distinctive bay windows with their slim glazing bars give the home plenty of kerb appeal.

The front door, with its leaded and stained glass panel, opens into a welcoming entrance hall, where decorative coving and a striking curved staircase set the tone, alongside a handy understairs cupboard.

To the front, the living room is a bright and elegant space, with a wide bay window overlooking the front garden, ornate coving and a gas fire set within a stone-effect surround and hearth, creating a cosy focal point for winter evenings.

Behind it, the dining room mirrors the living room’s proportions and character, again with a feature fireplace and coving, while a bay with French doors opens straight out onto the garden, making this a lovely spot for family meals or entertaining in the warmer months.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of white wall and base units with contrasting worktops, an integrated electric oven, a ceramic hob with extractor above and a one-and-a-half bowl sink set beneath the window. A Vaillant boiler is neatly housed on the wall, terracotta-style tiles run underfoot and a door leads out to the rear garden.

Upstairs, the landing provides access to all three bedrooms, the bathroom and a separate WC. The principal bedroom is a generous double at the front of the house, with a large bay window and a fitted range of wardrobes incorporating a dressing table and mirror. Bedroom two is a further double, with a bay window overlooking the rear garden, a full wall of fitted wardrobes with mirrored doors and its own vanity wash basin. Bedroom three features a charming corner window and would suit a nursery, child’s bedroom or home office. The bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath, a pedestal wash basin and a storage cupboard, with part-tiled walls, and the separate WC sits alongside.

Outside, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by tall, neatly kept hedging and planted borders, giving a good degree of privacy. An imprinted patio adjoins the house, providing space for outdoor seating, and the garden wraps around the side of the property to make the most of the corner plot. A detached brick-built outbuilding with a pitched tiled roof houses two useful stores and an outside WC, ideal for garden equipment, bikes or a workshop.

Location

Wistaston is one of the most popular residential villages on the edge of Crewe, sitting around two miles west of Crewe town centre and three miles east of the historic market town of Nantwich, giving easy access to both. The village has a real community feel, centred around St Mary’s Church and the Memorial Hall, with a tennis club, cricket club and regular village events. Joey the Swan, the village’s much-loved parkland, follows Wistaston Brook and is named after a swan that made its home there in the 1930s, with the swan still the village emblem today. Everyday needs are well catered for, with a Tesco Express, Co-op, village store and pharmacy, while families are well served by a choice of primary schools, including Wistaston Church Lane Academy, St Mary’s Catholic Primary and The Berkeley Academy. For commuters, Crewe railway station offers fast, direct services to London Euston, Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham, while the A500 provides quick access to junction 16 of the M6.
