Description

INNOVATIVE, STYLISH AND VERSATILE This beautifully presented four-bedroom detached family home occupies a secluded position sat on a large plot at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac within an exclusive development just off Victoria Road. The property enjoys a highly desirable residential setting, ideally located within easy walking distance of Fallibroome Academy, Macclesfield District General Hospital, West Park, and the town centre. Having been refurbished by the current owners, the home has been thoughtfully transformed to an exceptional standard, offering stylish, spacious and well-balanced accommodation throughout. A particular highlight is the impressive open-plan ground floor layout, which creates a superb space for modern family living and entertaining. The ground floor also benefits from multiple reception areas and a versatile fourth bedroom complete with its own en-suite shower room. To the first floor there are three bedrooms, (including an en-suite to the master bedroom) and a family bathroom. Externally, the property is approached through double gates leading to a private driveway with ample off-road parking for several vehicles and access to a detached double garage. The beautifully landscaped gardens have been carefully designed to provide a variety of seating and entertaining areas, perfect for al fresco dining and outdoor gatherings. Well-stocked borders showcase an attractive selection of mature plants, flowers, and shrubs, creating a colourful and inviting outdoor environment.

Location - Set in Cheshire's plains, on the fringe of the Peak District National Park, Macclesfield combines the old with the new. Originally a medieval town, Macclesfield became the country's 'Silk' capital in the 1750's, whilst it still retains that heritage, in recent years it has grown to become a thriving business centre. Macclesfield is a modern shopping centre with a range of leisure facilities to suit most tastes. There is a popular monthly Treacle Market which is a bustling Arts, Antiques, Crafts, Food and Drink Market, held on the cobbles of the town centre with around 140 stalls of exceptional food and drink, unique crafts and vintage and information from the Macclesfield community. There are many independent and state primary and secondary schools. The access points of the North West Motorway network system, Manchester International Airport and some of Cheshire's finest countryside are close at hand. Intercity rail links to London Euston and Manchester Piccadilly can be found at Macclesfield and Wilmslow railway stations as well as commuter rail links to the local business centres.

  • 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).
