A well-presented and spacious five-bedroom detached family home, situated on the popular William Higgins Close in Alsager, offering versatile accommodation and a practical layout ideally suited to modern family living.

The property is entered via a central hallway, providing access to all principal ground floor rooms. To the front, the main living room offers a comfortable and generously sized space, featuring large windows that allow plenty of natural light.

To the rear, the property opens up into a spacious kitchen/dining room, forming the main hub of the home. Fitted with a range of units and complemented by a breakfast island, the space comfortably accommodates both cooking and dining. From here, the layout flows into a bright sun room, enhanced by a roof lantern and glazed doors leading out to the garden, creating a pleasant additional reception space ideal for day-to-day use. A ground floor WC adds to the practicality of the ground floor.

Upstairs, the first floor provides five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe area and its own en-suite shower room. Bedroom two also features an en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

The accommodation is neutrally decorated throughout, with a mix of modern fittings and some individual decorative touches, allowing buyers the opportunity to personalise to their own taste if desired.

Externally, the property benefits from a driveway providing off-road parking and access to the garage. To the rear, there is an enclosed garden laid with Astroturf, and a patio area suitable for outdoor seating and entertaining.

Located within a well-regarded residential estate within Alsager, the property is well placed for local schools, amenities and transport links.

  • 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).
