Description

Set within the conservation area of the ever-popular village of Weaverham, this charming Grade II listed cottage is offered to the market with no onward chain, presenting a rare and exciting opportunity for buyers seeking character, history and potential.

Weaverham is a picturesque Cheshire village renowned for its strong sense of community, period architecture and excellent local amenities. The village offers a range of everyday shops, cafés, public houses and countryside walks, alongside well-regarded local schools catering for all ages. Excellent road links provide convenient access to Northwich, Chester and beyond, making the village ideal for both families and commuters alike.

The cottage itself would make a fantastic project, offering scope to improve, enhance and adapt the accommodation to suit your own requirements, subject to the necessary consents. Retaining a wealth of period charm, the current layout briefly comprises an entrance hallway with two generous reception rooms positioned either side, one of which leads through to the kitchen at the rear. A large rear hallway provides access to the first floor, along with a substantial storage cupboard.

To the first floor there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, a large bathroom and an attractive galleried landing which adds to the sense of space and character.

Externally, the property benefits from a good sized rear garden, ideal for those who enjoy outdoor space, together with a brick-built outhouse offering further storage or potential ancillary use.

A rare opportunity to acquire a historic home in a sought-after village location, brimming with character and future potential. Early viewing is strongly recommended.

  • 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.
