Description

Set within a well-established and thriving community, the area enjoys a distinct semi-rural atmosphere, surrounded by extensive open countryside while still benefiting from excellent local amenities. In addition to a range of convenient local shops and services, nearby Macclesfield offers an appealing blend of heritage and modern living.

A particular highlight is the popular monthly Treacle Market, held in the cobbled town centre and featuring around 140 stalls offering artisan food and drink, antiques, crafts, vintage goods and local community showcases.

- 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).
