Description - A parcel of extended garden land which measures approximately 0.72 acres. The land comprises a former double tennis court and a large area of hard standing which is currently used for car parking.

A planning report has been commissioned by the client that identifies the lands potential for the residential development of either 1 x 3 bedroom detached dormer bungalow with a double garage, or 2 x 3 bedroom semi-detached homes.

The vendor will also listen to offers on the adjacent 169 Alton Road, a 3 bedroom detached period property which also falls under their ownership. Please get in touch for more details.

Location - The land is located in a well-connected residential area of Crewe that offers strong transport links and good local amenities. Road access is very convenient, with quick connections to the A500 and A530 as well access to the M6 nearby, making regional travel straightforward. Crewe Railway Station is just over a mile away, offering frequent services on the West Coast Main Line to major destinations like London, Birmingham, Manchester, and more. For local amenities, there are several convenience stores very close by – including a Nisa Local only around 135 yards from the property. Just under half a mile away, there’s also a Sklep Grosik supermarket. Families will appreciate the proximity to schools — Edleston Primary School, The Oaks Academy, and Ruskin Community High School are all within roughly 0.3 miles. For green space and recreation, Queen’s Park — a large public park with a playground, lake, and café — is nearby, offering a pleasant spot for walks and leisure.

Planning & Supporting Information. - A planning report was commissioned by the client which identifies that the land may have potential for residential development (subject to planning). The report identifies 2 potential schemes and is available upon request.

The report summarises 'The site is located within the settlement area of Crewe and is in a very sustainable location. As such, it is a perfect opportunity to contribute, albeit on a smallscale,
to the Council’s housing need requirements. Notwithstanding the potential flood risk and environmental constraints, this site has the potential to be considered for a select residential development. The proposed scheme will provide an opportunity to create an attractive development with an established landscaped context.
