## Description

Situated within the highly sought-after Parkgate development, a charming horseshoe-shaped road characterised by an attractive variety of bungalow styles, this well-presented detached true bungalow occupies a notably larger-than-average corner plot and offers excellent future potential for further extension, subject to any necessary consents.

The property is approached via a pathway with adjacent well-maintained lawns leading to the front entrance. Internally, the accommodation opens into a welcoming entrance hallway which in turn leads through to a spacious open-plan L-shaped lounge/dining room, providing an excellent main living and entertaining space.

Further accommodation includes a fully fitted kitchen, with many similar properties having successfully created large open-plan kitchen/living spaces by opening the kitchen into the lounge area, offering excellent scope for modernisation should a purchaser wish.

The bungalow further benefits from two well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the guest bedroom enjoying the added advantage of an en suite shower room. There is also a main three-piece bathroom and a separate study, ideal for home working or occasional guest accommodation.

Externally, the property enjoys a private and spacious plot with a separate driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, alongside a detached brick-built garage. The gardens are a particular feature, comprising a generous lawned area together with a substantial patio seating and entertaining space.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a spacious bungalow in one of Knutsford’s most desirable residential locations, offering comfortable accommodation with excellent scope to personalise and enhance over time

- **Rent ratio:** 0.33% (weak for cashflow)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £162,500
- **Target investor price (1%):** £130,000

*Monthly rent ÷ price. 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak. Max investor price = rent ÷ 0.8% (Stoke-style target). Target investor price = rent ÷ 1% (strong cashflow band). Based on OpenRent comparables.*

- **Monthly cashflow:** £-430/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** -4.5%

*Gross yield = annual rent as % of price (no costs). Cost-to-rent = price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables); under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed. Cashflow = rent − mortgage − 10% maintenance − £25/mo compliance; assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term. ROI = annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).*
