Description

Advertised with the benefit of NO ONWARD CHAIN, this beautifully presented and fully modernised Victorian end-of-terrace forms part of the historic Stanley Terrace, built in 1877, as confirmed by the original datestone to the front elevation. This deceptively spacious home blends period charm with modern comfort making it ideal for first-time buyers and investors alike. The property benefits from PVCu double glazing and gas central heating via a recently installed combi boiler. The ground floor offers a welcoming living room, separate dining room and a stylish fitted kitchen with integrated oven and hob, leading to a useful utility room and cloakroom/WC. To the first floor are two generous double bedrooms and a spacious refurbished shower room. Outside, a fully enclosed walled rear garden with brick store provides a private, low-maintenance outdoor space perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
The property occupies a popular and long-established residential position within easy reach of Northwich town centre, offering a wide range of shops, supermarkets, a picturesque marina, cinema complex and a variety of bars and restaurants. Everyday amenities are close by, including a Co-op convenience store, schools for all age groups, a chemist opposite the property and a medical centre within walking distance. For commuters, the nearby A556 provides excellent access to the motorway network and major commercial centres across the North West, including Manchester, Manchester International Airport, Chester, Warrington and Liverpool. Northwich railway station is easily accessible and sits on the Manchester to Chester line, with a Tesco store and retail park adjacent. This ready-to-move-into home has been thoughtfully updated with attention to detail throughout and offers an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a character property with modern convenience in a well-connected location. Early viewing is highly recommended.
SERVICES : Mains, Water, Gas, Electricity and Drainage. TENURE: The property is Freehold and free from chief rent.

  • 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).
