Description
Lovingly owned and cherished by the same family for decades, The Gables presents a wonderful opportunity for a new generation to create their forever home and restore this substantial property to its full potential. Driveway parking, a garage with a refitted electric door and scope for further extension, subject to the necessary consents, add to the property's long-term appeal.
Designed with family living very much in mind, the home has been thoughtfully extended beyond the typical ground-floor additions seen in neighbouring properties. The result is an exceptionally practical layout featuring four genuine double bedrooms, a family bathroom and an en-suite, providing ample space for growing families. The accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming porch and entrance hall, front lounge, spacious rear sitting and dining room, kitchen breakfast room, pantry, utility room, WC and useful storage space, while the first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms together with the family bathroom and en-suite.
Outside, the delightful mature gardens provide a wonderful setting for family life. Shaped lawns, established flower beds and borders, and a wraparound patio create the perfect space for children to play, summer entertaining and relaxing with family and friends, all enjoying a good degree of privacy.
The location is equally appealing. Moss Lane is one of Elworth's most desirable residential addresses, prized for its established character, strong sense of community and family-friendly atmosphere. Excellent local schools, parks, sports facilities and everyday amenities are all close at hand, while the historic market town of Sandbach offers an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and regular markets. Scenic countryside walks can be enjoyed almost from the doorstep, yet commuters benefit from convenient access to Crewe, the motorway network and rail links to Manchester, Liverpool and London.
Combining generous family-sized accommodation, beautiful mature gardens and a highly desirable location, The Gables offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home with tremendous potential in one of Elworth's most sought-after settings.

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).
