Description
The Crescent is a popular yet quiet cul-de-sac on the fringes of Grange-over Sands. An elevated site and within walking distance of the town centre for the fit! (bus stop nearby for others!)
The property provides well proportioned accommodation along with manageable gardens and private parking, ideal for a small family.
Grange-over-Sands is a popular and friendly small town boasting amenities such as excellent Primary School, Medical Centre, Railway Station, local shops, Cafes/Tearooms and the picturesque Edwardian Promenade. Approximately 20 minutes from both the M6 motorway and the foot of Lake Windermere.
To reach the property follow Main Street up to the mini roundabout and turn right down the short one way street proceeding straight across at The Spar and passing the Library. Follow Grange Fell Road almost to the top and the Crescent is a left turn with No.5 being found shortly on the right.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on Area rent estimate.
- 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).
