Description

The Property
Occupying an attractive position with open aspects to both the front and rear, this well-maintained three-bedroom mid-mews property offers spacious accommodation, excellent storage solutions, and a private rear outlook.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall, leading through to a generously proportioned living room filled with natural light. To the rear, the property boasts a newly fitted contemporary dining kitchen, stylishly appointed with modern units and ample workspace, while also benefiting from useful built-in storage cupboards and direct access to the garden.

On the first floor, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, together with a family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite incorporating a shower bath.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden enjoys a lawn and patio area, providing an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. Backing onto an open green space, the garden benefits from a pleasant degree of privacy with no direct overlooking. To the front, a block-paved driveway provides convenient off-road parking for up to two vehicles.

Combining a desirable position, practical living space, and a stylish contemporary kitchen, this appealing home is sure to attract strong interest. Early viewing is highly recommended.

Location
The property is conveniently situated within a popular residential area of Macclesfield, enjoying easy access to a range of everyday amenities, including local shops, supermarkets, schools and leisure facilities. Families are particularly well served by several well-regarded primary and secondary schools within the surrounding area. Macclesfield town centre is only a short distance away, offering an extensive selection of retail, dining and recreational opportunities. For commuters, Macclesfield railway station is approximately 1.5 miles away and provides regular services to Manchester and London, while excellent road links give convenient access to the A523, A537, M6 and M56 motorway networks.

  • 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).
