Description
Four bedroom property located at the head of this cul-de-sac, boasting an enviable position as it backs onto Astbury Mere Country Park and is not directly overlooked. Available to purchase with no onward vendor chain.
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 itself is a beautiful and charming village in the heart of Cheshire, surrounded by countryside and has one of the few remaining village greens left in country. It sits beneath a fourteenth century Gothic style church which shapes the landscape.
Meadowfield Crescent lies to the South West of Congleton. This side of the town is often favoured for its excellent school catchment. It is home to two primary schools (Quinta and Astbury St Mary's) and Congleton High School (which is easily within walking distance).
You can avoid travelling into the town as the West Heath Shopping Centre is also nearby (1 mile away). It hosts a wide range of shops and conveniences that include supermarkets, eateries and even a pharmacy.
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).
