Description

Considerably extended four bedroom semi detached home which is offered to the market with no onward chain and perfectly suited to those hopefully seeking a smooth and swift purchase.

When you combine the side and rear extensions with its magnificent rear garden, then it is always going to be a very popular choice. It stands on the corner in a highly regarded residential location and the plot extends to approximately 0.12 acres or thereabouts; that's considerable by comparison to many modern homes. It benefits from a generous block paved driveway, garage with an electronically operated roller door and there is additional gated parking at the back for a caravan.

The cavernous accommodation is beautifully balanced with with two generous reception rooms and a large kitchen diner on the ground floor and four bedrooms, master ensuite and family bathroom upstairs. It offers vast potential to anyone looking to create a wonderful family home.

West Heath is a popular suburb which is often favoured for its excellent school catchment. It is home to two Primary Schools (Quinta and Black Firs) and Congleton High School, all of which are easily within walking distance. This privileged area of Congleton is also very fortunate to enjoy useful amenities and some very beautiful open spaces, with the likes are Back Lane Village Green, Quinta Park and Astbury Mere Country Park on your doorstep.

Astbury mere was created within a former sand quarry, which has since been beautifully landscaped with a mature lake and over 34 acres of open space. The lake itself is a very attractive piece of water set in a slight valley surrounded, in parts, by mature trees.

Back Lane playing fields are a recreational area with Village Green status and are home to a number of soccer and rugby pitches. A number of community clubs can be seen enjoying the facilities at weekends.

The refurbished West Heath Shopping Centre is located between Holmes Chapel Road and Sandbach Road. It hosts a wide range of shops and conveniences that include supermarkets, eateries and even a Pharmacy.

Congleton provides excellent access of the North West Motorway networks with nearby junctions at either Sandbach or Holmes Chapel,with commuters often choosing this side of the town to avoid unnecessary traffic at peak times. Trunk roads provide a link between Stoke-On-Trent and Manchester, as does the local railway station which lies on the West Coast Main Line.

Closer inspection is highly recommended. Why not start by taking a moment to admire our immersive, interactive virtual tour.

Rent-driven metrics

Based on OpenRent comparables.

Rent ratio 0.59%
Max investor price (0.8%) £234,375
Target investor price (1%) £187,500
Gross yield 7%
Cost-to-rent ratio 14.2×
Monthly cashflow £402/mo 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term
Cash-on-cash ROI 5.2%
  • 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).
