Description
Covered porch, reception hallway, lounge with open fire, family room, study, open plan triple use living/dining kitchen, WC, utility room, principle bedroom with fitted wardrobes and newly refurbished en-suite bathroom, guest bedroom also with en-suite shower room, three further bedrooms (all with fitted/built-in wardrobes) and a family bathroom.
The accommodation feels large and balanced at around 2600 square feet, but planning permission was recently obtained to substantially enlarge the house to provide a large two storey extension which would provide a further two bedrooms and additional reception rooms including an office/snug space and gym, as well as an integral double garage, giving any interested party the opportunity to further develop and enhance the property without the stress and hassle of obtaining planning permission themselves. Please see the link to the consent on Cheshire East web site - Reference: 25/3552/HOUS.
Secure gated driveway providing good parking and access to the detached double garage.
Within a short walk, just 5 minutes from the town centre, train station and local primary and secondary schools.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on Area rent estimate.
- 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).
