Description
Nestled in one of Bowdon’s most prestigious locations, The Baths offers a rare opportunity to own a home that perfectly balances architectural grandeur with contemporary luxury. Set within a private, one-acre plot with landscaped gardens, this exceptional residence enjoys sweeping views over greenbelt countryside and the tranquil Bollin Valley.
At its heart, a vaulted reception room with exposed oak beams and panoramic glazing creates an awe-inspiring space for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. The bespoke kitchen is a masterclass in form and function, flowing into a family sitting area with floor-to-ceiling windows, central fireplace, and French doors opening to a large terrace—ideal for outdoor dining with countryside views.
Six beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms, including a spectacular principal suite with private balcony and dressing area, offer comfort and privacy. A striking glass link connects the main house to a luxury spa wing, featuring an indoor pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, and gym—perfect for wellness or entertaining.
The Baths is more than a home—it’s a statement in style, seclusion, and sophisticated living.
The grounds are just as remarkable, with sunlit terraces, a heated Breeze hut, whimsical hobbit house, and floating balcony. A gated drive leads to generous parking and garaging, completing this private and elegant retreat.

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).
