Description

Take a moment to admire this detached family home, which proudly stands in a privileged position on the fringe of Redrow's Round Hill Gardens. Guy Gibson Drive boasts a particularly fortunate street scene. It is flanked by hedgerow on one side, particularly picturesque and this wonderful home does not have another looking immediately at it.

Redrow's 'Heritage Collection' is inspired by the past and designed for the future, with a stunning collaboration of traditional architecture and all of the elements buyers desire in a 21st century home. The exterior is inspired by the 'Arts and Crafts' movement, whilst the beautifully designed interior provides an abundance of light and airy dual aspect reception space (which is very evident in the large lounge and kitchen diner which are both flooded with light).

It features an attractive façade with white rendered elevations. Boasting a corner position with wrap around gardens, it is bordered by dwarf wall, which only adds to it's aesthetic Whilst not apparent from the front photograph there is a generous driveway and detached garage providing ample off street parking..

Situated in a highly regarded area on the outskirts of the town, toward the North of Congleton. It is an outstanding location with a convenience store, Congleton Retail Park (with a Marks & Spencer Simply Food) and some very beautiful open green spaces (including Westlow Mere) all within the immediate vicinity. There is also a play area walkable within 2-3 minutes.

Lower Heath has outstanding transport and communication links with the A34 and the opening of the new Wolstanholme Elmy Way bypass offering excellent access of the North West motorway network.

Closer inspection is highly recommended. Why not start by taking a moment to admire our immersive, interactive virtual tour.

Rent ratio 0.38%
Max investor price (0.8%) £175,000
Target investor price (1%) £140,000
Gross yield 4.5%
Cost-to-rent ratio 22×
Monthly cashflow £-222/mo 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term
Cash-on-cash ROI -2.5%
  • 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).
