This extended detached house on Stephenson Drive offers spacious, flexible living across two floors, with four bedrooms, two en‑suites and a conservatory opening to a low‑maintenance garden. The property is presented as a retirement-suitable home and benefits from a garage, driveway and a good-sized fitted kitchen with utility/shower room for everyday convenience.
For buyers aged 60 and over there is an option to purchase a Lifetime Lease through Homewise’s Home for Life plan. The illustrative Lifetime Lease guide price shown is £187,500 (typical saving around 33% from market value £280,000), with the ability to buy a share of the property value (up to 50%) to safeguard future equity; the actual price varies by applicant age and circumstances. If you are not eligible or prefer, the property can be bought at the full market price.
Practical points are straightforward: council tax is band C, broadband speeds are fast and the home was built in the 1980s with gas central heating and cavity walls. Buyers should confirm tenure and any rights with their solicitor; the vendor states freehold but this must be verified. A protected tree in the rear garden is covered by a Tree Preservation Order and will affect external works.
Note the local context: Crewe is a sizable town with good amenities and major employers nearby, but the immediate area records above‑average crime levels. The property is chain free and likely to appeal to downsizers seeking space and security with an alternative way to buy via a Lifetime Lease.
