## Description

As seen on our nation's favourite property programme, this three bedroom semi-detached home has seen a significant transformation. Offered to the market with no onward chain, this home is perfectly suited to those hopefully seeking a smooth and swift purchase.

Renovated to perfection, the accommodation provides the modern aesthetics of a new build all whilst retaining the original features that you would expect from a bay fronted home of this era. To the rear, the property offers an abundance of socialising space through the addition of a fully rendered extension with skylights. Accompanied by a freshly laid tarmacadam driveway, porcelain paved rear garden and fully renewed electrics and plasterwork, this home will certainly be a popular choice. 

Positioned toward the North of Congleton town, this side is often favoured due to having direct commuting links to both Macclesfield and Manchester. The opening of the new bypass offers wonderful commuting links and the area is very fortunate to enjoy some beautiful open spaces. Eaton Bank Academy is just a short walk away as is the nearby convenience store.

Congleton offers vibrant nightlife with a good selection of newly opened, high class bars, restaurants and eateries. The town has welcomed a 'Marks and Spencer Simply Food', several supermarket chains, independent butchers and bakers, florists, newsagents as well as essential services including doctors, dentists and chemists. 

Closer inspection is highly recommended. Why not start by taking a moment to admire our immersive, interactive virtual tour.

## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 0.39% (weak for cashflow)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £168,750
- **Target investor price (1%):** £135,000

*Monthly rent ÷ price. 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak. Max investor price = rent ÷ 0.8% (Stoke-style target). Target investor price = rent ÷ 1% (strong cashflow band). Based on OpenRent comparables.*

## Rent-driven metrics

*Based on OpenRent comparables (median £1,350/mo).*

- **Gross yield:** 4.6%
- **Cost-to-rent:** 21.6×
- **Monthly cashflow:** £-188/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** -2.2%

*Gross yield = annual rent as % of price (no costs). Cost-to-rent = price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables); under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed. Cashflow = rent − 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).*

## Price per Square Metre
