## Description

A rare opportunity to acquire an impressive ICF (Insulated Concrete Formwork) eco-build home, offering exceptional thermal efficiency, lower running costs and a modern way of living. Individually built by an independent builder, this unique property is far more spacious than first impressions suggest, providing versatile accommodation arranged over three floors and perfectly suited to a wide range of buyers.

Ideally positioned within walking distance of Congleton town centre, the property enjoys excellent access to a wide range of amenities, independent cafés and restaurants, supermarkets, scenic canal-side walks, highly regarded schools including Daven Primary School, and Congleton railway station.

The flexible layout allows the accommodation to be tailored to your needs, whether you require additional bedrooms, reception rooms, a home office or hobby space. The ground floor comprises an inviting entrance hall, two versatile bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom, along with a separate utility area. 

To the lower ground floor, the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan living space featuring a contemporary fitted kitchen with central island, integrated appliances, dining area and lounge space. Underfloor heating adds comfort throughout, whilst bi-folding doors open onto the rear garden, creating the perfect space for indoor-outdoor living.

The first floor is beautifully illuminated by a large skylight over the stairwell and hosts two generous double bedrooms, both benefiting from modern en-suite shower rooms.

Externally, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, offering the ideal blank canvas to create your own private retreat, with side access leading to the front of the property. To the front, ample off-road parking provides space for several vehicles.

Combining an energy-efficient build, flexible living space and a convenient location, this move-in-ready home is not to be missed.

## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 0.55% (weak for cashflow)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £250,000
- **Target investor price (1%):** £200,000

*Monthly rent ÷ price. 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak. Max investor price = rent ÷ 0.8% (Stoke-style target). Target investor price = rent ÷ 1% (strong cashflow band). Based on OpenRent comparables.*

- **Cost-to-rent:** 15.2×
- **Monthly cashflow:** £338/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** 3.8%

*Gross yield = annual rent as % of price (no costs). Cost-to-rent = price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables); under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed. Cashflow = rent − 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).*
