Description
At Mere View there are two house designs and this property is fortunate to be the larger of the two, boasting more ground floor space and a bigger balcony area. This former show home is also arguably in one of the best positions, with uninterrupted views of the lake.
The accommodation of an exceptional specification and careful attention to detail ensures its best use of available natural light and space, as featured by a gigantic atrium and lifestyle balcony on the second floor, all of which are devoted to the magnificent master suite.
Astbury Mere was created within a former sand quarry, which has since been beautifully landscaped with a mature lake and over thirty four acres of open space. The lake itself is a very attractive piece of water set in a slight valley surrounded in part by mature trees. It is a shared amenity with a sailing club and is described as a quiet and picturesque sanctuary close to the busy market town of Congleton and is very popular with dog walkers and ramblers alike.
Astbury is a beautiful and charming village in the heart of Cheshire, surrounded by countryside and boasts one of the few remaining village greens left in country and sits beneath a fourteenth century Gothic style church which shapes the landscape.
Mere View lies to the South of Congleton which is within very easy reach of the town centre and is favoured for its excellent commuter links.
Congleton provides excellent access of the North West Motorway networks with nearby junctions at either Sandbach or Holmes Chapel. Trunk roads including the new bypass provide a link between Stoke-On-Trent and Manchester, as does the local railway station which lies on the West Coast Main Line.
Closer inspection is highly recommended. Why not start by taking a moment to admire our immersive, interactive virtual tour.

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).
