Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented three-bedroom family home within one of Congleton's most desirable residential locations, offered through the highly regarded Redwing Housing Discounted Sale Scheme.

This attractive home is available to purchase for £240,000, representing over a 12.5% discount from the independently assessed RICS market value, allowing purchasers to own the property outright whilst benefiting from a significantly reduced purchase price. Importantly, there is no rent payable on the discounted element, meaning you enjoy all the advantages of full home ownership at a lower cost.

Occupying a prime position within the sought-after Mossley area, the property forms part of an attractive development characterised by larger detached homes and a welcoming community atmosphere. The location perfectly balances countryside living with everyday convenience, placing scenic walks, local amenities and excellent transport links all within easy reach.


The accommodation is both practical and well-presented throughout. An entrance hall leads to a comfortable lounge, whilst the dining room enjoys French doors opening onto the rear garden. The adjoining kitchen is fitted with contemporary high-gloss units and integrated cooking appliances. To the first floor are three bedrooms together with a modern family bathroom incorporating a mains-fed shower.


Externally, the property benefits from a double-width driveway, front lawned gardens and a delightful enclosed rear garden fully landscaped featuring paved seating areas, lawn and a raised pond, providing an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment.


The surrounding area is one of the property's greatest attractions. Residents enjoy easy access to the picturesque Biddulph Valley Way Nature Trail, the tranquil Macclesfield Canal, neighbouring open countryside and a nearby local park. The popular Hightown shopping parade caters for day-to-day needs, whilst Congleton town centre and railway station are conveniently close by. Excellent road links to the M6 motorway, Manchester Airport and rail connections to Manchester and London make this an ideal choice for commuters.


Opportunities to purchase within this scheme in such a prestigious Mossley location are seldom available. Early viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate both the quality of the accommodation and the exceptional value on offer.


Purchasers should note: The property is sold subject to the Redwing Housing Discounted Sale Scheme. An independent RICS valuation is obtained upon resale, with the sale price fixed at 12.5% below market value. Interested parties will need to apply for scheme approval. Please contact us for further information.

  • 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.
