Description
Certainly a large house - arguably not too large, maybe not large enough for others, but certainly one that offers a considerable amount of versatility. Consider the tanked basement accommodation, with its current gym use, a heated space with a separate utility room and with its own access to the rear outdoors, does lend itself to the idea of a possible conversion to suitable semi independent annex accommodation perhaps.
Meanwhile right back at the top of the house and to the 'Peacock Suite' and to this tremendous mezzanine floor with all sorts of options for use - we'll leave that just to your imagination. We have of course classed this as a bedroom suite with its split level design and great views over to Liverpool; whilst the bedroom immediately below; (the bedroom dressed like an erstwhile library room); is also of significant proportion and it is considered that this room may well have been used formerly as a first floor reception room - take note of the fireplace here.
The remaining two 'double' sized bedrooms are of course smaller than these previously mentioned over generous rooms although nevertheless 'double' sized they are and both also en suite to their respective adjacent bathroom or shower room at each level. These suites have direct access to the landing areas too.
Back down at ground floor and to the gorgeous entrance with its Victorian tiled threshold, handsome front door and hallway leading on to two comfortably sized reception rooms. Both, as mentioned earlier with period fireplaces. The kitchen is complete with extensive beech worktops which extend through to the utility room with both rooms looking on to this south west facing sun trap outdoors. Here there is a fabulously useful brick built store room.
Return back through the gate from the rear and side of the house and onto the drive where you can see you can achieve three for parking in tandem. So for weekends leave the car and stroll up to the village and to the shops and bars; it will take five minutes. For work in the city the tunnel is no more than ten minutes away by car: Sat Nav: CH43 5SE

- 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).
