A Handsome Post-Edwardian Residence in a Prime Location with Annexe, Development Potential and Exceptional Living Space

Positioned on arguably one of the most desirable residential addresses in Congleton, this handsome post-Edwardian home has been lovingly restored and meticulously maintained, offering an exceptional standard of accommodation combined with timeless character and modern versatility.

The property enjoys an enviable setting with an outstanding range of everyday conveniences quite literally on the doorstep. Within just a few minutes’ walk lies Congleton railway station, making commuting effortless, alongside a wide selection of independent shops including a chemist, bakers, convenience store, hardware shop, barbers, hairdressers and post office. The Wonky Pear micro bar adds a vibrant social hub to the area with its relaxed and eclectic atmosphere. Families are also particularly well served, with Mossley CofE Primary School within easy reach, along with nurseries and before and after school provision.

Approached via a striking timber-framed Orangery with glazed roof lantern, the property immediately impresses. Inside, a grand reception hall showcases oak detailing, a herringbone parquet floor and an elegant return staircase rising to a galleried landing.

The ground floor offers a superb range of living spaces. A bay-fronted lounge features a wood-burning stove set within a recessed fireplace, while the formal dining room, with dual aspect windows and its own stove, opens through to an orangery—perfect for entertaining and family gatherings.

At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan family dining kitchen, fitted with shaker-style units, granite worktops and a range cooker, flowing into a cosy living area with an additional stove—creating a warm and sociable hub. A separate utility room and rear porch add further practicality.

A key highlight is the connected annexe, comprising its own hall, cloakroom, shower room and bedroom with French doors to the garden—ideal for multi-generational living or guests.

To the first floor, a spacious galleried landing leads to four generous bedrooms. The principal and second bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities, while the family bathroom is beautifully appointed with a freestanding roll-top bath, bidet and quality fittings.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The front gardens are extensive and private, featuring a large, cobbled driveway with ample parking, mature hedgerows and expansive lawns. A detached double garage and covered carport further enhance practicality.

Importantly, the rear section of the garden benefits from outline planning permission for the erection of a detached dwelling (planning reference: 26/0060/OUT), presenting a rare and valuable opportunity for development or future investment.
