'The Grainger' by Linden Homes, constructed in 2023 on the edge of The Weavers Development. Spacious property is situated on a large corner plot offering fantastic family living and is conveniently situated within Winsford, offering easy access to local amenities, schools, parks and transport links.

The "Heart of the Home", the ground floor, with Amtico flooring in the hallway leads to a light and bright Lounge with cosy carpet and a Large Bay Window, each window is fitted with a perfect fit privacy blind. The thoughtfully designed open-plan Kitchen/Diner, again, perfectly finished with Amtico flooring and recently fitted Bosch integrated appliances encourages family interaction and makes it an ideal space for family and friends.

As you step onto the cosy carpet up the stairs and walk across the galleried landing area you will find four spacious bedrooms and the Master with a double sized en-suite shower room. Each of the Four Bedrooms, all double in size offers ample storage space and natural light.

Externally the property boasts a large, perfectly maintained garden, ideal for outdoor gatherings. The spacious integral garage, adjacent to the front door, extends the remaining length of the property.

In conclusion, this property presents an excellent option for your next home.

  • 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).
