Description
Located within the highly desirable area of Halton Village, this substantial detached family home occupies a peaceful and secluded cul-de-sac setting surrounded by attractive green space. Offering spacious and highly versatile accommodation, the property is ideally suited to modern family living and multi-generational occupancy.
The home benefits from a substantial extension, garage conversion, newly fitted family bathroom, generous south-facing rear garden, owned solar panels, and ample off-road parking, making this a rare opportunity within the local market.
Upon entering, the welcoming entrance hall leads to a bright dual-aspect lounge featuring a charming log burner and direct access to the extensive rear garden. The kitchen/diner is fitted with a range of quality wall and base units alongside integrated appliances, with patio doors opening onto the garden, creating an ideal entertaining space.
Beyond the kitchen is a superb extended open-plan lounge and family room leading into a conservatory, all benefitting from underfloor heating and a private external entrance. This flexible arrangement lends itself perfectly to multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or potential annexe use.
Adjacent to the open-plan living space is a generously sized ground floor bedroom complete with fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room.
To the first floor are four further well-proportioned bedrooms, alongside a recently renovated contemporary family bathroom and additional WC. Excellent storage is provided throughout the property, including two loft spaces and a large storage cupboard.
Externally, the property enjoys expansive south-facing gardens providing exceptional outdoor space for both relaxation and recreation — a rare feature for a home within this price range. The layout of the extension also presents excellent potential for self-contained accommodation, ideally suited for an elderly relative, dependent family member, or independent living arrangements.
Further enhancing the home are fully owned solar panels, offering reduced utility costs alongside the benefit of additional income generation, supporting an energy-efficient and sustainable lifestyle.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the size, flexibility, and quality of accommodation this impressive home has to offer.

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).
