Wild Hedges, Daisy Bank Crescent, Audlem CW3

A substantial and versatile detached 1960’s dormer house with fantastic south westerly facing gardens and grounds extending to about 1.4 acres overlooking countryside, 600 yards from audlem village centre.

4 Daisy Bank Crescent was built in the 1960’s by Leonard Cork of brick under a tiled roof. It stands well back from the road, approached over a tarmacadam drive. Enlarged and reconfigured over the years, it has been a much treasured family home. We acknowledge that some modernisation is required and in many ways, it will be exciting for a future owner to put their own stamp on the property.

The gardens and grounds are private, well nurtured and established and overlook open countryside. This substantial area is testament to the skilful landscaping, care and thought and incorporates beautifully maintained formal gardens, a sizeable kitchen garden and woodland. The property is a dream for anyone desiring their own private space and established grounds.
