Set behind secure gates on a private road just off Mossley, this is a home that offers both a lovely sense of community and the privacy to enjoy your own space.
With an outstanding A-rated EPC and NO ENERGY BILLS across the year, it’s a home that’s as practical as it is easy to live in.
Built around 10 years ago and presented in immaculate, as-new condition. It’s freehold, with no service charges - something buyers increasingly value.
Having been here for a decade, the current owners have genuinely loved both the home and the setting and are only having to move due to work relocation. They’ve spoken of the friendly neighbours and sense of community on the cul de sac, to the balance of privacy it offers day to day. It’s the kind of place where people look out for each other, come together for BBQs, and still enjoy their own space.
For anyone new to the area, you’re within easy reach of the train station, ideal for commuting, close to Congleton town centre, High Town shops, Mossley Primary School, and a bus route connecting to the local high schools — making everyday life simple and well connected. Congleton is such a great place to be - canal-side walks just a minute away, afternoons in Congleton Park, and the annual food and drink festival that brings the town together each year and shows at Daneside theatre. It’s a location that feels easy to enjoy, whatever your pace of life with a community unlike any other.
From the moment you arrive, the care that’s gone into the home is clear, immaculately presented ‘as new’ turnkey condition.
The frontage is neat and well kept, with box hedging and a block-paved driveway sitting behind a fully secure bespoke automatic maglock gate with integrated lighting. With two parking spaces enclosed behind the gates.
To the rear, the kitchen and dining room create a sociable space for everyday life, with French doors opening onto the south-facing garden. It’s light, practical and works just as well for busy mornings as it does for relaxed evenings at home.
The modern kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances including fridge/ freezer, cooker with gas hob and a brand new dishwasher, with a separate utility room and WC just off it to keep everything running smoothly.
To the front, a good sized living room - somewhere quieter to unwind at the end of the day.
Upstairs, there are four comfortable double bedrooms, a modern family bathroom. Giving flexibility for family life, guests or working from home.
The master bedroom benefits from its own en-suite with double shower, currently shown with super-king sized bed.
The converted garage is a really useful addition. Currently set up as a gym, with privacy glass bifold doors on to the driveway it’s a space that can easily adapt over time depending on your lifestyle - whether that’s a home office, studio or additional living space - while still allowing for practical storage.
There’s also further storage with a part-boarded loft and a solid garden shed, making it easy to keep everything organised.
Outside, the south-facing rear garden is private, not overlooked, has a peaceful feel, even the birds are drawn here.
It captures the sun throughout the day and has been designed to be enjoyed without being high maintenance - somewhere to relax, spend time with family, or simply enjoy the space.
What really stands out is how well the home has been set up for the future.
With an A-rated EPC, 16 owned solar panels and battery storage, the property generates enough energy to cover both gas and electric usage across the year — meaning no energy bills in real terms! If you’ve an electric car or one in your future an EV charger could be added knowing the house is covering your cost!
It’s a genuine day-to-day benefit that adds comfort as well as long-term value, and something very few homes offer at this level.
The property also benefits from a recently serviced alarm system.
It’s a home that’s been well cared for, genuinely enjoyed, and is ready for its next owners to move straight in and make the most of everything that’s already been done.

  • 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.
