Generous rural family home with large garden, garage and flexible living spaces.
Detached three-bedroom home on approx one-third acre plot with countryside views
Set on about a third of an acre on the edge of Checkley, Willow Sound is a generous three-bedroom detached home that combines mature garden setting with broad countryside views. The house offers formal living and dining rooms, a breakfast kitchen, an upstairs family bathroom plus a downstairs shower room, and an integral double garage accessed internally. The plot and room sizes suit a family wanting outdoor space and flexible living areas.
Key practical points are clear: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, glazing was upgraded before 2002, and the property’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated. The EPC rating is F, council tax is described as expensive, and broadband speeds are slow — factors to consider if low running costs and fast connectivity are priorities. The house has been well loved but will benefit from energy-efficiency improvements and selective updating.
Externally the mature gardens are a major asset, with established shrub beds, trees and level lawns that provide privacy and excellent space for children, pets and entertaining. The large block-paved driveway and double garage give ample parking for multiple vehicles, useful for commuters or visitors. Despite the rural feel, the house remains within easy reach of Uttoxeter and Cheadle and local schools, including several well-regarded primaries and a good secondary.
For a family wanting room to breathe and the scope to add value, this property presents a strong canvas: characterful rooms, generous plot, and potential to improve insulation, heating efficiency and internal finishes. Buyers should budget for energy and retrofit works and factor in the slower broadband if home working is essential.
