Description

Ivy House occupies a delightful setting in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, approximately 1.5 miles from Alderley Edge village. Originally renovated and converted in 2004, the development comprises just eight apartments set within secure gated grounds, with generous residents’ and visitor parking, garaging and beautifully maintained communal gardens.
Apartment 3 is the largest of the duplex apartments and has recently undergone a comprehensive refurbishment, creating beautifully presented and spacious accommodation extending to approximately 1,493 sq.ft., including the garage.
The ground floor features a generous living room with a flexible movable partition allowing the adjoining reception room to be used as a dining room, study or separate sitting room. The recently refitted kitchen/dining room incorporates a comprehensive range of contemporary cabinetry and integrated appliances, including oven/microwave, dishwasher, washer dryer, fridge/freezer and wine cooler. A sun room provides an additional reception space, while new neutral flooring complements the fresh décor throughout.
Upstairs are two excellent double bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities. The principal bedroom has been completely refurbished with an extensive range of bespoke fitted wardrobes, a separate dressing area and a newly fitted en-suite shower room. The second bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes and a particularly spacious en-suite bathroom with both a bath and separate shower.
The apartment also benefits from its own garage with electrically operated door and an EV charging point.
The beautifully maintained communal grounds are a particular feature, incorporating established gardens, a central fountain, BBQ area and orchard with a variety of fruit trees. Secure gated access and extensive parking further enhance this attractive development.
Combining generous accommodation, high-quality recent improvements and an attractive semi-rural setting, Apartment 3 offers an excellent opportunity within easy reach of the shops, restaurants and amenities of Alderley Edge and Wilmslow.

  • 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).
