Description
Set over three floors and entered on the ground floor, the property provides a lovely sense of space throughout. The two reception rooms give you the flexibility to create interiors that truly work for your lifestyle, whether that means a cosy lounge to relax in at the end of the day, a stylish dining room for entertaining, or a dedicated area for working from home, hobbies or fitness. The layout feels adaptable and inviting, giving you room to shape the home around the way you want to live.
Upstairs, there are two well proportioned bedrooms that offer comfortable accommodation. Whether used as a main bedroom and guest room, or a bedroom and dressing room or study, the space is easy to furnish and full of potential. The bathroom serves the home well, while the overall arrangement makes the property ideal for both day-to-day living and longer-term practicality.
A particularly appealing feature is the basement, adding valuable extra space and useful storage, something that is always in demand in a terraced home. This additional level enhances the versatility of the property and gives you more room to keep the main living areas calm, organised and clutter free.
Outside, the private gardens provide a welcome retreat from the pace of daily life. They offer the chance to enjoy a morning coffee, add planting and outdoor seating, or simply have your own manageable outside space to relax and unwind. For many buyers, having private outdoor space is a real advantage, and here it adds even more appeal to an already attractive home.
Further benefits include double glazing and gas central heating, helping to create a comfortable environment throughout the seasons. The property is also chain free, which is a major advantage for buyers wanting a smoother, less stressful purchase and the possibility of moving forward without unnecessary delay.
The location is another strong reason to buy. Northgate Road sits in a popular and convenient part of Edgeley, with supermarkets, schools, leisure facilities and healthcare services all within easy reach. Rail links are also close by, making the area especially appealing for those who need straightforward access for commuting or visiting surrounding towns and cities.

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).
