Description

This light and bright, immaculately presented semi-detached property occupies a generous corner plot and is not overlooked, offering excellent potential for side and rear extensions (subject to planning permission). The accommodation begins with a spacious and welcoming entrance hallway. To the front and rear are a lounge and separate dining room, both featuring attractive fireplaces and large bay windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The kitchen sits to the rear of the property and provides ample storage, complimented by a useful pantry. To the first floor are three well proportioned bedrooms, along with a generously sized family bathroom. Externally, the property benefits from a large, gated driveway to the side, providing excellent offroad parking. The front garden is laid mainly to lawn and enhanced by mature trees and shrubs, while the rear garden offers a high degree of privacy, featuring a delightful patio area and well maintained lawn, ideal for outdoor entertaining.
Situated in the highly sought after area of Timperley, the property enjoys close proximity to a wide range of shops, cafés, and restaurants, along with the Metrolink system offering direct access to Manchester. Altrincham town centre, with its renowned markets, is nearby, and the area is well known for its outstanding local schools. The motorway network and Manchester International Airport are easily accessible, and a variety of sporting and recreational facilities are close at hand.

  • 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.
