Description
Set on an impressively large and private plot, the property sits elegantly back from the lane, framed by a generous front garden, extensive off road parking, and the added benefit of a double garage. Despite its peaceful setting, it is just moments from the heart of Sandbach town centre, giving residents immediate access to boutique shops, artisan cafés, award?winning restaurants, and the historic cobbled market square. It is a rare combination of privacy and centrality that very few homes can offer.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a grand, spacious hallway that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home. To the left, a beautifully presented lounge enjoys natural daylight from the front aspect and features a contemporary media wall with a floating electric fire, creating a sophisticated yet cosy atmosphere. Portions of the lounge also benefit from underfloor heating, adding an extra layer of comfort to the space. To the right, a dedicated office provides the perfect environment for remote working or quiet study, and a well appointed downstairs WC is conveniently positioned off the hallway.
The rear of the property opens into a breathtaking open plan kitchen, living, and dining space, which has been thoughtfully extended to create a modern, luxurious environment ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

Underfloor heating runs through parts of the living and dining area, ensuring year round warmth and comfort. From here, the views stretch across the bowling green and towards the picturesque Sandbach Park, offering a serene backdrop year round. A generously sized utility room sits just off the kitchen, providing additional storage and practicality.
Upstairs, the property offers four beautifully proportioned bedrooms. Bedrooms three and four enjoy peaceful views over the rear garden, with bedroom three benefitting from built in wardrobes. Bedroom two features its own en-suite, ideal for guests or older children.

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).
