Description
Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a practical entrance lobby which includes a useful store cupboard, perfect for coats and shoes. The inviting lounge sits to the front of the property, providing a comfortable and spacious living area with a bright and airy feel, complemented by stairs rising to the first floor landing. To the rear, the modern kitchen offers a generous and social space, ideal for family dining or entertaining friends, and is fitted with a range of units providing plenty of storage and workspace. From here, French doors open through to the conservatory, a versatile addition that enjoys pleasant views over the garden and provides a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
To the first floor, the accommodation continues to impress with two well-proportioned bedrooms - one overlooking the front and the other enjoying views of the rear garden - each offering comfortable and peaceful sleeping arrangements. The third bedroom is smaller in size and is currently used as an office, though it would also make an ideal nursery. This adaptable space offers flexibility for a growing family or for those seeking a dedicated home office or hobby room.
Externally, this property benefits from a larger-than-average garden, which is a true highlight of the home. Directly accessed from the conservatory, the garden extends in a straight line, creating a wonderful area for relaxation and outdoor enjoyment. Beyond this, there is an access path that leads to an additional strip of garden land and the private parking area belonging to the property. This thoughtful arrangement provides a sense of space and separation, with the drone photographs showcasing the full extent of the garden and external layout. The outdoor space offers plenty of potential for landscaping, outdoor dining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings that Madeley has to offer.
This attractive home successfully combines practical living with character and potential, all set within a desirable village location known for its popularity and convenience. With well-planned accommodation, a larger-than-expected garden, and excellent commuter links, this property represents a fantastic opportunity for buyers seeking a comfortable and affordable home in a welcoming village setting. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the space, location, and potential this property has to offer.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus 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).
