Description
Perfect location in a very highly sought after area – just a 5-minute walk to the Metrolink with direct access to Manchester. You’re also only a short stroll into Prestwich village with its great mix of bars, restaurants and shops.
The property sits on a quiet cul-de-sac, making it a really nice, peaceful spot, and offers off-street parking, too.
Downstairs, there are two good-sized reception rooms offering flexible living space and a kitchen. Upstairs you’ll find two generous double bedrooms, plus a third room that works well as a single bedroom, nursery or home office.
To the rear is a south-facing garden, which gets plenty of sun and has lots of potential. There’s also scope to extend to the side or rear (subject to planning permission), making this a great option for anyone looking to add value.
The property has huge potential and is looking for someone to put their own stamp on it.
All carpets are in good condition and there is double glazing throughout.
Overall, it’s a solid property in a first-class location, with loads of potential.

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).
