Description
We believe it to be the ideal compromise for those who are tempted to move to a rural locality, but encounter a degree of reluctance - for fear of forsaking facilities or the security offered by adjacent homes.
This fantastic home overlooks the beautiful Cheshire countryside (see our wonderful drone photographs) and successfully bridges that gap between amenities and a rural outlook. It's a fabulous location only a short walk to Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School and it will be especially enviable with families, dog walkers and cyclists, all of whom will be able to enjoy the beautiful outdoors.
The ground floor has been transformed with a skilful extension featuring a wonderful open plan living kitchen and a flexible reception room (used as a home office). This is an exquisite space that connects with the landscaped rear garden and is the perfect enclave for receiving guests and entertaining.
It has seen considerable investment throughout with modern bathrooms and a contemporary fully fitted kitchen with high specification appliances, sold quartz work surfaces and even a boiling water tap.
This is an outstanding area, with a mix of family friendly homes and a strong community feel. At weekends the car does not need to leave the drive and the village offers a blend of cultural and leisure activities; It hosts a number of independent and chain shops and when combined with the broad range of cafes, restaurants and bars it is effortlessly possible to while away the hours and unwind from the working week with family and friends.
It is located amongst the Cheshire countryside and you are never far from a picturesque scene fit for a postcard. It is very fortunate to enjoy some very beautiful open green spaces, with the likes of Dane Meadow on your doorstep and Boundary Water Park and Brereton Heath Nature Reserve only a very short drive away.
Holmes Chapel provides excellent access of the North West Motorway network. It is a very short drive to Junction 18 of the M6 and trunk roads readily connect Stoke-On-Trent and Manchester. It is only a short walk from Holmes Chapel Railway Station which sits on the Crewe to Manchester Line and provides frequent access to both.
Closer inspections are highly recommended, why not start by taking a moment to admire our immersive, interactive virtual tour.

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).
