Described by Messers McCarthy & Stone as follows:
"Conveniently located in the heart of the historic town of Northwich, Marbury Court is a stunning Retirement Living Plus development which promises high quality retirement properties, boasting a convenient location which is well placed to provide easy access to the town’s traditional shops, impressive scenery and stunning landscapes. Lying in the heart of the Cheshire Plain, at the confluence of the River Weaver and River Dane, Northwich is only 18 miles from the beautiful City of Chester and within easy reach of both Liverpool and Manchester. Northwich is on the main railway line between Chester and Manchester and is only a short distance from the M56 and the M6.
Marbury Court consists of 57 one and two-bedroom retirement apartments for the over 70’s with design features to make day-to-day living easier. These stunning retirement apartments incorporate intelligent design, giving you gorgeous, yet practical living spaces that are safe, secure and energy efficient.
As well as the privacy of your own apartment, there’s the opportunity to lead a full and active social life. You can call into the residents’ lounge whenever you feel like company, and it’s a lovely place to meet up with friends or join in the many activities organised by residents and the Estate Management team. The lounge is also the perfect space to invite friends and family over for a special celebration.
Open every day, our table service restaurant serves tasty and nutritious lunches for our homeowners and their friends and family, at a very reasonable price. All the food is freshly prepared and we can cater for special dietary requirements. For a special occasion or celebration, you’re also welcome to book our function room and there is a computer available to use here.
Marbury Court also benefits from a guest suite for visitors who wish to stay and for peace of mind, there is an Estate Manager on site and 24-hour emergency call system provided via a personal pendant alarm and with call points in all rooms.
However, what sets this development apart from the rest is it’s stunning roof terrace. With breathtaking views of the River Weaver, this is the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine and watch the world go by with new friends.
With all this and more, Marbury Court really is the ideal place to enjoy your later life."

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).
