Take a moment to explore this considerable four bedroom detached residence which stands on an extensive plot that extends to a third of an acre.  It is available to purchase with no onward chain and has endless potential. It's an opportunity to create a most magnificent family home.

It stands in a privileged non-estate location to the West of Congleton. West Heath is a popular suburb which is often favoured for its excellent school catchment. It is home to two Primary Schools (Quinta and Black Firs) and Congleton High School, all of which are easily within walking distance.. 

This privileged area of Congleton is also very fortunate to enjoy useful amenities and some very beautiful open spaces, with the likes are Back Lane Village Green, Quinta Park and Astbury Mere Country Park on your doorstep. 

Astbury Mere was created within a former sand quarry, which has since been beautifully landscaped with a mature lake and over 34 acres of open space. The lake itself is a very attractive piece of water set in a slight valley surrounded, in parts, by mature trees. 

Back Lane playing fields are a recreational area with Village Green status and are home to a number of soccer and rugby pitches. A number of community clubs can be seen enjoying the facilities at weekends. 

The West Heath Shopping Centre is located between Holmes Chapel Road and Sandbach Road. It hosts a wide range of shops and conveniences that include supermarkets, eateries and even a Pharmacy. 

Congleton provides excellent access of the North West Motorway networks with nearby junctions at either Sandbach or Holmes Chapel,with commuters often choosing this side of the town to avoid unnecessary traffic at peak times (especially now with the opening of the new bypass). Trunk roads provide a link between Stoke-On-Trent and Manchester, as does the local railway station which lies on the West Coast Main Line.

Flood Risk
Surface Water
Very low
Unlike flooding from rivers, surface water flooding can happen many miles from a river, often in places that people wouldn’t expect because it’s a long way from a river or stream – it happens simply because there is nowhere else for the rainwater to go. Risk ratings are measured as:
High Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 30 (3.3%) in any one year.
Medium Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 100 (1.0%) in any one year.
Low Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.
Very Low Risk - an area in which the risk is below 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.

In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:

avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.

min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
