Description
A standout feature of this remarkable home is the self-contained annex, offering exceptional flexibility. Complete with a utility room, a second kitchen, a living room/bedroom, and a bathroom, it provides an ideal solution for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or an independent workspace.
On the first floor, the elegant master bedroom benefits from an ensuite bathroom and direct access to an adjoining bedroom, which serves as a spacious dressing room. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom complete this level. Ascending to the second floor, a generous landing leads to two additional double bedrooms, both featuring ensuite bathrooms, as well as a versatile living area.
Set within a magnificent 0.6-acre plot, the grounds of Longton are simply breathtaking. Expansive lawned gardens, adorned with mature trees, shrubs, and well-stocked borders, create a serene and private retreat. Extensive parking leads to a detached double garage, ensuring practicality alongside elegance.
A true showcase of period charm, Longton seamlessly blends classic architectural features with a warm and inviting interior. Offered for sale for the first time in nearly 30 years, this exceptional family home must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

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).
