## Description

LW005

An attractive three-storey cottage-style modern end mews home in a highly sought-after village location. Set within the desirable village of Tarporley, 8 Orchard Cottages offers an appealing blend of traditional character and practical modern living. Positioned on Eaton Road, the property enjoys convenient access to the village centre while benefitting from a peaceful residential setting.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over three storeys, creating a flexible and comfortable layout that suits modern living while retaining a welcoming cottage atmosphere.  The spacious rooms and light airy feel makes this a lovely home for all and the ample storage is an added bonus.

On the ground floor, the property is entered via an entrance hall which leads into modern kitchen with fitted appliances.  To the rear there is a large open plan living room with a log burner and provides direct access via french doors to the courtyard garden, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

The first floor offers two bedrooms, with en-suite to master along with a family bathroom fitted with modern sanitary ware. These rooms are well sized and adaptable, suitable for family members, guests, or home working.  On the second floor is another double bedroom providing a sense of privacy and separation from the main living areas, along with elevated views across the surrounding area.

Externally, the property benefits from a charming and low-maintenance courtyard garden, providing an attractive outdoor space for seating, dining, and entertaining throughout the warmer months.

The property has a large garage, offering secure parking and valuable additional storage.  There is also driveway parking for two to three cars, one to the front of the property. This is a rare and highly desirable feature for a property of this style and location within Tarporley.

Tarporley is one of Cheshire’s most desirable villages, renowned for its vibrant high street, quality schools, and strong sense of community. Eaton Road provides a convenient position within easy reach of shops, cafés, and restaurants, well-regarded primary and secondary schools, excellent road links to Chester, Nantwich, and the wider North West and scenic countryside and walking routes.

- **Target investor price (1%):** £130,000

*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).*
