Description

DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER – THIS EXTENDED TRUE BUNGALOW IS FULL OF SURPRISESTucked just off Waggs Road and moments from Congleton town centre, this detached, extended bungalow offers a fantastic opportunity for buyers wanting space, flexibility and the chance to put their own stamp on a home. With extensions to both the side and rear, it’s far larger than first impressions suggest.Perfectly positioned on the edge of town, you can stroll to Astbury Mere, scenic countryside and everyday amenities in minutes — a rare blend of convenience and green space.Inside, the accommodation is wonderfully versatile and ripe for remodelling if desired. Currently it includes a welcoming hall, large lounge, dining area off the fitted kitchen, conservatory, and a huge master bedroom suite with dressing area, en-suite bathroom and an adjoining study that could easily become a nursery, hobby room or snug. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the layout.Outside, the gardens are well stocked and established, with lawns, shrubs, patio areas and useful storage sheds. A shared driveway leads to a large single garage.Homes like this — extended, well located and offering genuine potential — tend to sell quickly. Make that early viewing and see the possibilities for yourself.

Rent ratio 0.37%
Max investor price (0.8%) £175,000
Target investor price (1%) £140,000
Gross yield 4.4%
Cost-to-rent ratio 22.6×
Monthly cashflow £-261/mo 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term
Cash-on-cash ROI -2.8%
  • 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).
