4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Biddulph Road, Congleton, Cheshire CW12

A grand period family home full of character, space and charm | 2214sq ft

Dating back to 1903, this beautiful Edwardian period home is one that immediately makes an impression, perfectly positioned in the popular Mossley area of Congleton.

From the striking red front door and large windows to the high ceilings, original wood flooring, cornice details, enormous original feature fireplaces and beautiful staircase, the character of this much loved family home is evident from the moment you arrive.

The location is just as appealing. Mossley is a well established and popular part of Congleton, with local primary schooling nearby, the shops and everyday amenities of Congleton High Town within easy reach, and the train station providing connections beyond the town. Add in everything else Congleton has to offer, from independent shops and cafés to parks, schools, countryside and its strong sense of community, and this is a location that works beautifully for family life.

Inside, the proportions are just as impressive.

The welcoming hallway porch with storage leads through to three wonderful reception rooms, comprising a generous lounge, morning room and separate dining room. Each room has its own character and purpose, with tall ceilings, large original sash windows, two with open fireplaces and an abundance of natural light creating a wonderfully spacious feel.

The dining room also provides access to the downstairs shower room, making it a practical addition for busy family life.

The kitchen sits to the rear of the home with space for all your appliances, views towards the garden and access to the long private driveway.

The ground floor has also benefited from thoughtful improvements by the current owners, including upgraded laminate wood effect flooring with insulated underlay throughout, adding an extra layer of comfort beneath your feet.

Upstairs, the impressive proportions continue. A spacious first floor landing leads to four huge double bedrooms, all offering excellent space for furniture and family life.

The bedrooms are all generous doubles and beautifully presented, with the whole home having been tastefully decorated and carefully cared for as a much loved family home.

There is a family bathroom with separate WC, a useful storage cupboard and a huge insulated and fully boarded loft, complete with ladder, providing excellent additional storage.

The home has also benefited from significant heating and insulation improvements since the property’s existing EPC was carried out in 2019.

In 2023, the current owners installed a new Vaillant ecoTEC plus 630 system boiler and upgraded the full heating system, including replacement radiators throughout. There are also two beautiful column designer radiators, one in the dining room and another in the kitchen.

The loft is insulated and fully boarded, while insulated underlay was also installed beneath the upgraded ground floor flooring. These improvements, together with the new boiler, heating system and radiators, were all carried out after the 2019 EPC assessment and would be expected to have improved the home’s current energy performance. The existing EPC therefore does not reflect these subsequent improvements, with a new EPC assessment required to establish the property’s current rating.

The Vaillant boiler benefits from an 8 year complimentary guarantee covering parts and labour, running from 3 September 2023 until 2 September 2031.

Outside is where this home really comes into its own.

There are two useful outbuilding storage cupboards, with the new boiler housed within one of them.

A long private driveway leads through to the rear, providing access to the detached garage and garden. The large west facing rear garden is wonderfully private and offers plenty of space for children, entertaining and enjoying the afternoon and evening sunshine.

A large patio provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining and entertaining, complete with festoon lighting creating a lovely atmosphere when the sun goes down.

This is a home full of warmth, character and genuine presence. A beautiful example of a grand period family home dating from 1903, that has been lovingly enjoyed, thoughtfully maintained and carefully improved by its current owners.

Four huge double bedrooms. Three beautiful reception rooms. High ceilings. Original fireplaces. Original features. A striking staircase. An insulated and boarded loft with ladder. A west facing private garden. A long private driveway. A substantial garage.

And that unmistakable feeling of walking into a home that has been loved, in a popular Congleton community close to local schooling, High Town, the train station and everything this wonderful town has to offer.

Welcome to 88 Biddulph Road. I can’t wait to show you around!
