Description
When you saw ‘three storey’ you may have worried about where the living room is located. Traditionalists have nothing to fear! Don’t panic! It’s on the ground floor!
The ground floor has a spacious living room at the front.
The modern fitted kitchen is at the rear, with French doors leading out to the neat and tidy lawned back garden.
The kitchen isn’t huge but it does have plenty of space in the fitted units, along with an integrated oven and hob and room for your fridge freezer.
The first floor has two double bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The top floor is the master bedroom suite, a large double bedroom with an ensuite shower room.
There’s no garage but there is parking on the drive for one car and plenty of on street visitors parking for when friends and family pop round.
Built in 2013, the property has been well looked after by the current owners who bought it new. It’s in a popular, family friendly estate on the eastern edge of town, with open fields nearby and only a 3 minute drive from the M6.
It’s family friendly because the Pennine Way Primary School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is only a 5 minute drive or a 15 minute walk away.
It’s only a 10 minute drive to the centre of town or you can catch the bus from the entrance to the estate - there’s a handy bus stop on the main road.
This modern semi-detached will be perfect for a couple or a young family looking for more space in a popular newbuild estate. It’s in a great location that combines easy access to town, the motorway and the nearby countryside, with plenty for all ages on your doorstep.
I’m expecting plenty of interest, so call me to arrange a viewing.

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).
