GENERAL DESCRIPTION

An attractive and spacious, 3 Bed 2 Reception, End Town House (over 3 Floors) with a Detached Garage on an exclusive development in the centre of the Elizabethan Market Town of Sandbach.

Built to a high specification in 2005 by Morris Homes, the property incorporates many extra features. It enjoys a large, sunny corner plot and has a pleasant outlook, well-spaced from other properties and the road (cul de sac).

In a very good catchment area for schools, the property is close to a comprehensive range of amenities, road and rail links, and excellent recreational facilities.



LOCATION

Sandbach is a characteristic Elizabethan Market Town dating back to 1086 and is famed for its cobbled town square with two Saxon crosses in the centre. Traditional black and white Tudor-style buildings surround the square and appear throughout the town, with some impressive architecture, such as that of Sandbach Boys School (designed by the Victorian architect Sir George Gilbert Scott who designed a number of prominent buildings in the town).

The house is on a small, attractively designed development which is in an excellent position for the Town Centre (5 mins walk) where there are a good range of shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants. A weekly market is held on Scotch Common every Thursday and there is an annual Elizabethan Fayre every summer.

Local amenities and leisure facilities include a library, a full range of health care, municipal gardens, swimming pool and leisure centre, bowls green, tennis, cricket, football, rugby, hockey, fishing, and private and municipal golf courses. Sandbach is set in the heart of the beautiful Cheshire countryside which has a number of pretty canals and waterways, and the area boasts many varied attractions.

Sandbach is well served by nurseries and schools, all of which are highly regarded and have very good OFSTED reports.

There is a full range of transport services available (train station 1 mile), and the property is just a few minutes away from Junction 17 of the M6 with its direct links to Stoke-on-Trent and Birmingham to the south or Liverpool and Manchester to the north. Excellent local roads allow easy access to other local towns such as Crewe and Knutsford, and the historic City of Chester is about three-quarters of an hour away. The beaches of North Wales or Southport are also within easy striking distance for a day out.



THE PROPERTY DETAILS


GROUND FLOOR

* Entrance Hall

A part-glazed hardwood front door leads directly to the entrance hall with UPVC double glazed side window and stairs to the first floor. Under stairs storage cupboard with batten light fitting and doors to dining room, kitchen, utility room and cloakroom. Central heating radiator, telephone point, power points, ceiling light point, coving.

* Dining Room 4045 x 2750mm (13’3” x 9’0”)

UPVC double glazed window to front. Central heating radiator, telephone point, various double socket power points, ceiling light point, coving.

This room is a good enough length to allow a corner space for a desk – hence the Internet access point! Alternatively, by adding a conservatory to the back of the house, the whole room could be set aside for office space or a children’s play room.

* Kitchen/Breakfast Room 3805 x 2750mm (12’5” x 9’0”)

UPVC double glazed window to the rear. Quality range of warm beech effect fitted Grovewood units, with two glass fronted display wall cabinets. One and a half bowl stainless steel sink with mixer tap. Single stainless steel integral electric oven and gas hob, with stainless steel splash back and extractor over. Mottled brown laminate worktops and cream part tiled walls. Space for fridge freezer and plumbing for dishwasher. Central heating radiator, TV point, ceiling spot lights and various double socket power points. Space for kitchen table. Open doorway to utility room.

The kitchen units occupy most of two walls leaving a large open area as you walk into the kitchen, so it feels light and spacious. There is also adequate space for fitting extra units if required.

* Utility Room 2100 x 2000mm (6’10” x 6’6”)

White part-glazed hardwood door to garden. Door to hallway and open doorway to kitchen. Single stainless steel sink unit with Grovewood base unit and worktops to match those in kitchen. Space for washing machine and tumble dryer. Wall mounted gas central heating boiler. Cream part-tiled walls. Central heating radiator, various power points, ceiling light point.

The door to the garden would provide an excellent access point for a large CONSERVATORY running across the back of the house. There is plenty of room for one and the site is very sunny. This would provide extra living space downstairs and could potentially free up the dining room as a roomy office space or children’s play room.

* Cloakroom 1705 x 900mm (5’7” x 2’11”)

UPVC double glazed textured window to the side. White low level w.c. and pedestal wash hand basin. White textured tile splash back. Central heating radiator and ceiling light point.



SECOND FLOOR

* Landing

Stairs to second floor. UPVC double glazed window to the front. Doors to lounge and bedroom 1. Central heating radiator, various power points, ceiling light point and coving.

Feels light and airy.

* Lounge 4950 max x 3817mm max (16’2” max x 11’9” max)

Two UPVC double glazed windows overlooking rear garden. Attractive outlook with mature trees and gardens visible. Sunny aspect. Windsor stone-effect surround fireplace housing a Berkley living flame gas fire. Two central heating radiators, various double socket power points, TV point, dimmer switch and ceiling light point, and coving.

An upstairs lounge works surprisingly well in this house. It takes advantage of the pleasant outlook and light, sunny aspect. Also, it is a relaxing retreat away from the main living areas downstairs.

Alternatively, if the prospective purchaser was to consider adding a conservatory downstairs, the lounge also has the potential to be used as a larger Master Bedroom (with a new door for en-suite access). This would potentially free up the present Bedroom One as office/extra bedroom space, leaving the ground floor rooms as traditional reception/living space.

* Bedroom One 3700 x 2842mm (12’1” x 9’3”)

UPVC double glazed window to front. Pleasant outlook. Central heating radiator, various power points, TV point and coving. Door to en-suite.

This bedroom has been measured up for a fitted bedroom suite (double) to maximise the space and offer plenty of storage. Details are available on request.

* En-Suite 2842 x 765mm (9’3” x 3’4”)

White low level w.c. and matching pedestal wash hand basin. Fitted shower cubicle with electric shower. Heated towel rail. White textured part tiled walls with contrasting cream/beige/russet mosaic tiled border. Ceiling spot lights and extractor fan.



THIRD FLOOR

This is a roomy and spacious area occupying the roof space. The eaves add character but do not inhibit furniture requirements in the bedrooms as there is also plenty of full ceiling height space available.

An adequate area for loft storage space is still available from an access hatch on the landing. There is also potential for access cupboards to be installed into the eaves from the bedrooms if required.

* Landing

UPVC double glazed window to side. Doors to Bedrooms Two and Three, the bathroom and a shelved airing cupboard. Loft access hatch with switch to batten light in the loft. Ceiling light point.

* Bedroom Two 3098 max x 3901mm max (10’1”max x 12’9”max)

UPVC double glazed dormer window to rear. Pleasant outlook over gardens. Central heating radiator, ceiling light point, various power points.

Spacious with plenty of scope for furniture and storage.

* Bedroom Three 3585 max x 3075mm max (11’9”max x 10’1” max)

UPVC double glazed dormer window to front. Central heating radiator, ceiling light point, various power points.

Spacious with plenty of scope for furniture and storage.

* Bathroom 2006 x 1812mm (6’7” x 5’11”)

UPVC double glazed textured window to side. White bathroom suite comprising low level w.c., pedestal wash hand basin and panel bath. White textured part-tiled walls with contrasting deep blue bubble design border tiles. Heated towel rail. Ceiling spot lights.



OUTSIDE

This property occupies one of the best plots (if not, the best!) on the development. Not only is it a sizeable corner plot with gardens on three sides, but it has a sunny aspect and mature trees along the side boundary offer both interest and privacy.

* Front Garden

The property is set well back from the road leading into the small development. Lawned gardens extend across the front and to the side of the house. The width of the side garden from the house is about 35 feet. There is some small shrub planting and a tree adjacent to the single width driveway leading to the single garage. Two mature trees to the side boundary. Space behind the garage for refuge bins. A panel fence extends across the width of the side garden and incorporates a gate into the back garden. A paved pathway leads from the parking area to the front door and towards the rear of the property.

The frontage provides adequate scope for increasing the driveway and providing extra off-road parking if required.

* Garage

A single garage with an up and over door.

* Back Garden

Fully laid to lawn with a paving slab path leading from the front of the property to the back door. The lawns extend to the rear and side of the property. Fully enclosed with panel fencing for security and privacy. One mature tree to side boundary. Sunny aspect. Outside tap to side of house.

The back garden affords plenty of room for a large conservatory. This would still leave a good lawn area to the rear and a sizeable lawn to the side of the property. Also, it would be possible to relocate the side fence in line with the front of the property to enlarge the back garden area even further.

The garden is ideal for families with young children and/or pets as it is fully enclosed and provides a safe play space.

* Other Recreational Space

There is an enclosed grass recreational area (football pitch size) within the development, 2 mins walk from the house. Further municipal gardens are a short 10 min walk.

* Outside Maintenance

This is kept to a minimum by the UPVC soffits and bargeboards, as well as the UPVC windows. Window sills are traditional style stone and there is complimentary stone detailing above the windows at the front of the house.

* Security

There is a security light to the front of the property and the house is fully alarmed.
