Description
Set across three beautifully designed floors and extending to over 1,200 sq ft, the home is bright, versatile and ready to move straight into. The spacious lounge flows seamlessly into the dining area and contemporary kitchen, creating the ideal social space for entertaining friends, cosy family evenings or relaxed weekend brunches. Sliding patio doors open onto the sunny south-facing garden, where uninterrupted green views provide a rare sense of calm and escape.
Upstairs, flexible accommodation includes three generous bedrooms. The top-floor principal suite feels wonderfully private, complete with fitted wardrobes and its own stylish en suite.
Outside, the lifestyle on offer is just as impressive. Bollin Valley walks are literally on your doorstep, while Bowdon Church School and The Bollin Primary School are both close by - making the morning school run refreshingly easy. Enclosed access, driveway parking for two cars and additional visitor parking add even more practicality to this already standout home.
Unique within the development and backing directly onto open fields, this is more than just a house - it's a lifestyle opportunity in one of the area's most desirable locations.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on Area rent estimate.
- 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).
