Description
The ground floor begins with a welcoming entrance hallway, setting the tone for the rest of the home. To one side is a bright and comfortable lounge, enhanced by a feature wall, creating the perfect space to relax. To the opposite side, a versatile reception room offers flexibility as a formal dining room, home office or playroom, ideal for modern family lifestyles.
To the rear of the property is the true heart of the home — an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family area, designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary high-gloss units, quality work surfaces and integrated appliances, while French doors and feature glazing provide plenty of natural light and direct access to the rear garden. A separate utility room and downstairs W.C. add further practicality, with stylish LVT flooring running throughout much of the ground floor.
To the first floor, the property offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which are comfortable doubles along with a generous single. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom finished to a high standard.
Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front there is a driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, complete with an EV charging point, along with access to the detached garage. To the rear is a beautifully landscaped garden, thoughtfully designed with a combination of lawn and patio seating areas, ideal for outdoor entertaining and family use. A summer house provides additional versatile space, perfect for use as a home office, gym or garden retreat.
Abbeyfields is a highly desirable development set within a pleasant parkland setting, conveniently located close to Sandbach town centre, excellent schools, local amenities and transport links including the M6 motorway and Sandbach railway station.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- 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).
