Description
Offering flexible accommodation, this detached bungalow could easily be altered to provide three bedrooms, with a current second reception room used as a study. An entrance hallway leads to the kitchen and a spacious lounge/diner, with an inner hall accessing the two bedrooms, study/bedroom three and the shower room.
Ample off-road parking is provided via a driveway to the front and side of the property (potentially ideal for a motorhome or caravan!), as well as a brick-built single garage with side access. The gorgeous rear garden offers an excellent degree of privacy and features lawned and patio areas - a real suntrap and ideal for enjoying the best of the weather!
Situated on Townfield Close, the property benefits from a quiet cul-de-sac position whilst remaining close to a number of commuting links such as the M6, A500 and A34, as well as several train stations (such as Alsager and Kidsgrove) being in close proximity. Several schools are also nearby, including The Reginald Mitchell Primary School, St Saviour's C of E Academy and The King's Church of England Academy.
An excellent opportunity to purchase a well-presented bungalow which is most definitely ready to move into! Please contact Stephenson Browne to arrange your viewing.

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).
