Description
The ground floor flows well from the moment you step inside. A welcoming hallway gives access to the downstairs W.C. and leads through to the kitchen at the front of the property, offering good workspace and storage for busy routines. The lounge stretches across the rear, providing a generous, sociable living area with space for both seating and dining. From here, double doors open into the sunroom, a brilliant bonus space overlooking the garden, ideal as a playroom, reading nook or relaxed second sitting area.
Upstairs, the home offers three well proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom is a comfortable double with its own en suite, while the second bedroom also provides good space and a pleasant outlook over the garden. The third bedroom works perfectly as a nursery, guest room or home office, and the family bathroom completes the floor with a clean, modern finish.
Outside, the rear garden is a strong feature, a good size with a blend of turf and paving that creates distinct areas for dining, relaxing or children’s play. The side driveway provides valuable off road parking and adds to the property’s practicality.
Barnton Way sits within a quiet, family friendly residential pocket close to Wheelock village, scenic canal walks and highly regarded schools. Sandbach town centre is just a short distance away, offering independent shops, cafés, pubs and the historic cobbled market square. Commuters benefit from excellent access to Sandbach Train Station and the M6 at Junction 17, making travel towards Manchester, Cheshire, Stoke and the Midlands straightforward.

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).
