Description
Ryder & Dutton are thrilled to present this beautifully refurbished home for sale, located in the highly sought-after Firwood Park development. The property has been extensively modernized to an exceptional standard, making it an ideal choice for buyers seeking a move-in-ready home.
Since purchasing, the current owner has made significant improvements, including the installation of a new boiler and radiators throughout, a stylish modern kitchen with integrated appliances, a fully tiled bathroom suite with a heated towel radiator, a composite front door, new internal doors, and fitted wardrobes. Additionally, a new alarm system has been installed for added security. The entire house has undergone a complete transformation with fresh plastering, redecorating, new carpeting, skirting boards, and upgraded flooring.
Inside, the layout features a welcoming entrance hall, a modern kitchen, and a cozy lounge with patio doors leading to the rear garden. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a contemporary bathroom.
Externally, a recently paved driveway at the front provides off-road parking. To the rear, a beautifully landscaped garden offers a blend of patio space and artificial grass, backing onto the peaceful Rochdale canal, perfect for relaxation or entertaining.
This home is ideal for first-time buyers and investors alike. The area is well-served by highly regarded schools, shops, and supermarkets, all within easy reach. Excellent transport links, including Mills Hill train station just a 10-minute walk away and the M62/M60 motorways a 5-minute drive, add to the property's convenience and accessibility.
This is a rare and exciting opportunity. Viewings are highly recommended!

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- This street — Gross yield for this street only (Land Registry sales + rental comparables, same postcode + street).
- 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).
