Description
Entering the property via the covered side entrance, you are welcomed into a bright and airy entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The spacious lounge is filled with natural light and features an attractive fireplace, creating a warm and comfortable living space. Moving through the bungalow, you’ll find a modern fitted kitchen finished with bright white cabinetry, integrated hob and enjoying lovely views over the rear garden. Just off the kitchen is a useful rear porch area, providing additional storage whilst also allowing further natural light into the home.
The bungalow offers two generously sized bedrooms, including a particularly spacious master bedroom overlooking the garden, creating a peaceful and relaxing retreat. Bedroom two is another comfortable double room, ideal for guests, hobbies, or additional living space if desired.
Completing the interior is the modern shower room, finished in a clean and practical style.
Externally, the property benefits from a decorative stoned front garden alongside a driveway providing off-road parking for up to two vehicles. A recently added pergola/car port further enhances the exterior space and includes the valuable addition of two EV charging points. The driveway also leads to a single detached garage positioned to the rear. The enclosed rear garden offers a private and low-maintenance outdoor space, featuring a flagged patio seating area alongside an astro-turfed lawn, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Combining move-in ready accommodation, modern conveniences, and a wonderful village location, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a charming bungalow in the heart of Eccleston.

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).
