A charming blend of characterful period features and contemporary comforts, this stunning cottage-style home beautifully balances heritage and modern living.Traditional latch doors, exposed brickwork and inviting fireplaces sit harmoniously alongside double glazing, central heating and a superb re-fitted kitchen, bathroom and ensuite, creating a home that is both timeless and practical.The well-planned accommodation includes an attractive entrance hall with traditional front door, staircase and access to the conservatory and lounge with feature fireplace leading through to the contemporary fitted kitchen, which in turn opens into a versatile sitting/dining room with adjoining store. A utility room and cloakroom/WC complete the ground floor.Upstairs, the landing provides latch-door access to four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with dressing room and ensuite, as well as the family bathroom.Occupying a prominent position on the edge of Congleton in a semi-rural setting—yet within walking distance of local amenities—the property enjoys a sizeable plot with gated driveway parking for several vehicles, leading to a detached garage.

  • 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.
