Description
This beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached home offers stylish living space, plenty of natural light and a thoughtfully designed garden, making it a great choice for buyers looking for a home that is ready to move straight into.
Step inside through the entrance hall and into the dual aspect lounge. With windows to the front and rear, the room feels bright and welcoming throughout the day. A feature brick fireplace creates a natural focal point and adds character to the space, making it an inviting room to relax in or spend time with family and friends.
To the rear of the property, the fitted kitchen provides practical storage and workspace, with a layout designed to keep everyday cooking simple and organised. The kitchen flows through into the dining room, creating a sociable space that works well for both day-to-day meals and entertaining. Sliding patio doors open onto the garden, bringing in plenty of natural light and making it easy to step outside when the weather allows.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms along with a well-finished four-piece family bathroom suite. The bathroom includes both a bath and separate shower, offering flexibility for busy mornings and relaxed evenings alike.
Outside, the property continues to impress. To the front, a driveway provides convenient off-road parking. The rear garden has been designed with low maintenance in mind, featuring a patio seating area and artificial lawn that keeps the space looking neat all year round. It is an ideal setting for outdoor dining, relaxing in the sunshine or spending time with friends and family.
Located within easy reach of local amenities, schools within catchment (subject to confirmation) and transport links across Runcorn and surrounding areas, this home combines comfort, style and convenience.

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).
