Description
An individually designed detached family house positioned within a quiet cul de sac and set within magnificent grounds approaching one third of an acre. The superbly proportioned accommodation extends to approximately 3,000 sq ft (279 sq m) and briefly comprises covered porch, entrance hall, full depth sitting room, formal dining room, family room, fitted breakfast kitchen, utility room, study, cloakroom/WC, primary bedroom with dressing area and en suite bathroom/WC, three further double bedrooms and family bathroom/WC. Integral double garage. Gas fired central heating and PVCu double glazing. South westerly facing landscaped rear gardens with a high degree of privacy. Sought after location.
The Coppice is an exclusive cul-de-sac development constructed by Crosby Homes approximately thirty years ago, which has matured into a delightful tree-lined setting, ideally positioned a little over a quarter of a mile from the revitalised village centre and within the catchment area of highly regarded primary and secondary schools. Various churches, mosques and synagogues are all within easy reach, whilst the surrounding motorway network and Manchester International Airport are readily accessible.
Occupying one of the most desirable positions within the development, this individually designed detached family house stands within magnificent grounds approaching one third of an acre, a notable feature that affords a high degree of privacy together with significant potential for extension, subject to obtaining the relevant approval. The rear gardens are perfectly positioned to take advantage of the approximately south westerly aspect, providing an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining whilst enjoying sunshine throughout the afternoon and into the evening.
The generously proportioned accommodation has been well maintained and presents an outstanding opportunity to remodel to individual taste. The property also benefits from gas fired central heating together with PVCu double glazing.
The interior is approached beyond a covered porch which leads into a wide entrance hall where the feeling of space is readily apparent. Double doors open into the full-depth sitting room with an attractive stone fireplace surround and French windows opening directly onto the paved rear terrace. Adjoining the sitting room is a family room, providing versatile informal living space with French windows to the rear terrace. The dining room is generously proportioned and provides an elegant setting for formal entertaining, with two sets of French windows once again offering pleasant views and direct access to the terrace. The breakfast kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry complemented by polished granite work surfaces and integrated appliances, with ample space for a dining suite beside two sets of French windows opening onto the paved rear terrace. A separate study will undoubtedly appeal to those who work from home, whilst the adjoining utility room provides practical laundry facilities, additional storage and useful external access to the front of the property. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom/WC.
At first floor level, the primary suite comprises dressing area flanked by fitted wardrobes, dual aspect double bedroom and en suite bathroom/WC complete with separate shower enclosure. Three further double bedrooms are served by the family bathroom/WC which is also fitted with a separate shower enclosure.
The block paved driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the integral double garage with twin remotely operated doors, secondary kitchen area and internal access to the study.
In conclusion, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home occupying an exceptional plot within one of the area's most sought-after residential locations. Whilst the property would now benefit from cosmetic modernisation, it offers tremendous scope to create a home of considerable distinction in a setting that is increasingly difficult to find.

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).
