Description

Little Hind Heath Farm is an impressive 1850s Victorian residence set within expansive grounds extending to approximately 0.77 acres. Combining period elegance with tastefully updated interior spaces, this substantial six-bedroom home offers exceptional family living against a peaceful woodland backdrop. In addition to its appealing character, the property is offered CHAIN FREE and comes with the significant advantage of approved planning permission (Ref: 24/2028C) for two five-bedroom detached properties, presenting an outstanding opportunity for buyers, developers, or investors alike.

Location - Situated on the fringe of the vibrant market town of Sandbach, the property balances a semi-rural setting with convenient access to everyday services. Sandbach features a choice of supermarkets including Waitrose and Aldi, independent shops, eateries, and a popular weekly market. Transport links are excellent, with Junction 17 of the M6 motorway located approximately one mile away and Sandbach railway station offering direct routes to Manchester and Liverpool. Crewe station is around six miles distant, providing fast connection times to London Euston in roughly 90 minutes. Families are well served by highly regarded local schools, including Wheelock Primary School, Sandbach School (1.2 miles), and Sandbach High School (1.7 miles).

Ground Floor - Entry is gained through a grand reception hall measuring 8.03m x 1.98m, featuring original Minton tiled flooring, classic dado rails, stained glass accents, and an under-stairs storage area. The principal sitting room (5.49m x 4.32m) is a light-filled space centered around an open fireplace with a timber surround, tiled inset, and hearth, complemented by a double-glazed sash box bay window, ceiling rose, and ornate cornicing. A second generous living room (5.06m x 4.57m) offers further formal reception space, complete with a cast fireplace, picture rails, built-in cabinetry, and triple sash windows.

At the heart of the home lies a vast open-plan kitchen and dining area stretching 12.85m x 4.29m. The kitchen is fitted with a wide array of light oak cabinetry, granite work surfaces, a double Belfast sink, a housekeeper’s larder, and a central island with breakfast bar seating. Equipment includes an integrated Bosch microwave, space for a range-style cooker, and room for an American-style fridge freezer, all set over tiled flooring with underfloor heating. Adjoining this space, the bright family dining area boasts engineered oak flooring, multiple windows, and French doors leading out to the rear grounds. Off the inner hallway, practical service rooms include a laundry room (2.79m x 1.73m) with boiler and appliance plumbing, a separate utility area with a Belfast sink, a ground-floor W.C., and access to a useful storage cellar measuring 4.47m x 3.3m.

First Floor - The pitch pine staircase leads past a stained-glass window to the main landing. The primary bedroom suite (4.9m x 4.45m) features built-in wardrobes, triple sash windows, and a dedicated en-suite bathroom (4.42m x 1.68m) fitted with a cast-iron bath, overhead shower, vanity basin, and built-in linen store. Bedroom two (5.03m x 5.74m) and bedroom three (4.67m x 4.32m) are both remarkably large double rooms retaining original picture rails. Bedroom four (4.32m x 3.51m) sits to the rear aspect, while bedroom six (3.68m x 1.96m) provides an ideal dedicated study or nursery space. The main family bathroom (3.3m x 2.49m) includes a roll-top cast-iron bath, a walk-in shower cubicle with a Mira shower, a pedestal basin, and a low-flush W.C. A separate staircase from the inner landing rises to bedroom five (3.58m x 3.4m), which includes loft access and pleasant garden views.

External & Grounds - The property is accessed via a private tarmacadam driveway offering substantial parking and turning space for several vehicles. An attached double tandem garage (26'3" x 13'7") provides additional parking or workshop potential, complete with dual windows, personal door access, and an up-and-over front door.

To the rear, an extensive multi-tiered Indian stone terrace and paved patio area provide an exceptional venue for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond the terrace, the sprawling gardens are mainly laid to lawn, framed by established borders, mature conifers, and native hedging that opens up to a tranquil woodland backdrop. The grounds also incorporate a small fenced paddock area, previously used for keeping small livestock.

  • 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.
