This property's position allows virtually immediate access on to the main arterial route to the M6 motorway which lies 6 miles to the west and Manchester Airport is approximately 18 miles north and again easily accessed by road.

The area has been further enhanced with the completion of the new Congleton link road, which opened in 2021. The Congleton link road joins the A534 Sandbach Road (to the west of Congleton) with the A536 Macclesfield Road (to the north of the town).

The town’s retail park offers a Marks & Spencer Simply Food, a comprehensive Boots, a large Tesco and more. The town boasts independent butchers, florists and newsagents as well as essential services such as chemists, doctors and dentists, and a gateway local hospital.

Somerford has outstanding transport and communications links :

• Immediate access to A34 and the just completed Congleton Link Road, which provide convenient main road travel to the North’s cities including Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool, and South to The Potteries, Newcastle under Lyme and Birmingham.

• Somerford is a 10 minute drive from junction 17 of the M6 Motorway, the North West’s primary arterial route, providing easy access to the surrounding areas, towns and cities.

• Manchester International Airport is only 18 miles away, offering direct flights to over 180 domestic and worldwide destinations.

• Congleton’s own railway station is 2 miles away, and provides frequent expresses to Manchester, and regular connections to Stoke on Trent and beyond

This distinct and luxurious home of quite remarkable stature, will be a dream buy for the successful new owners, so much so that you’ll quite literally be pinching yourself….not quite believing its yours!!!

The exterior detail is beautiful with a good choice of reclaimed Cheshire brick, stone sills and headers and equally attractive elevations and roof lines. The property has mains gas central heating.

Through the front door you pass into the astonishing reception hall laid with natural oak floor. Doorways off lead to the generous lounge with impressive fireplace and a full wall of floor to ceiling glazing combining folding sliding and french doors opening into the rear garden, and then the second reception room; great as a snug/playroom or work from home office. The third reception room is immense, currently as a dining room,  has a lovely aspect over the rear garden and is adjacent to the main kitchen.

The open plan living dining kitchen is simply... amazing!!! It is a massive natural light filled space with distinct functional areas, all combining to work as one, and through a set of french doors, opens directly into the substantial gardens. The kitchen houses an extensive range of units, complemented with granite surfaces and an array of quality integrated appliances. Completing the ground floor is the high quality utility and separate cloakroom.

The landing is not just a landing, it’s a huge galleried landing with oak hand rail, providing doors to all bedrooms.  There are FOUR double bedrooms (the master with walk in wardrobe and luxury en suite bathroom room, plus bedrooms 2 and 3 share the Jack and Jill shower room. Finally is the family bathroom, with bath and shower over.

Outside, the property is well set back from the road, and secured privately through robust gates, behind which is the extensive driveway, providing ample parking for numerous vehicles and a large integral double garage.

The rear gardens are exceptionally large, mainly laid to lawn, maybe a "football or cricket pitch" for the kids or, for keen gardeners, this is heaven, essentially a blank canvas to landscape to your heart's content. They also feature extensive stone paved terraces which are just perfect for lounging in the sun and partying alfresco.
