2 bedroom apartmentStewart Street, Crewe, CW2 8BG

Not your average two-bedroom apartment... Set within Gainsborough Court on Stewart Street, this surprisingly spacious home is arranged over multiple levels, has its own private entrance and offers a layout that's just that little bit different – whether you're looking for your first home, something more manageable, or a smart addition to a rental portfolio. Step through your own front door at ground-floor level and head upstairs to the heart of the property, where an open-plan kitchen and living space gives you plenty of room to cook, eat and unwind. Also on this floor you'll find one of the two bedrooms along with the bathroom. Then comes the slightly quirky bit. Head upstairs again and the top floor is home to the main bedroom, nicely separated from the rest of the accommodation and giving the property much more of a house-like feel than you might expect from an apartment. There's certainly scope for a new owner to make a few upgrades and put their own stamp on things, but that's part of the appeal. First-time buyers can create something that's properly their own, those looking to downsize have a manageable home without compromising on bedroom space, and landlords have a two-bedroom property with a layout and private entrance that help it stand out from the usual rental apartment. Parking shouldn't be a headache either, with a generous amount of parking to the rear for residents and visitors. And then there's Crewe itself. With the town centre, everyday amenities and excellent transport connections all within easy reach, it's a location that works whether you're living here yourself or looking at its potential as an investment. Two bedrooms, your own front door, parking, a surprisingly spacious layout and plenty of scope to make it your own – there's a lot packed into this little property. First home, next move or next investment? Flat 3 could make sense for all three.
