Description
Tastefully upgraded throughout, the property offers a plethora of premium features from 'Amtico' luxury flooring for much of downstairs, through to 'Travertine' tiles in the solid oak bespoke handmade kitchen, which also benefits from 'Silestone' worktops and sills, a 'Franke' one and a half bowl under mount stainless steel sink with an 'Oberon' swan neck mixer tap and an integrated 'NEFF' dishwasher and fridge freezer. All internal rooms top to bottom benefit from having brand new solid oak doors with brushed chrome handles and a selection of premium column and designer radiators are offered throughout the home.
Harriseahead is often favoured due to its prime positioning to local schools and the town of Kidsgrove, offering a healthy selection of local conveniences. Ramblers and dog walkers can also enjoy the Gritstone Trail and some of the finest walking in the area, with some fine ridge walks and stunning views over the Cheshire Plain. More extensive facilities are available in Biddulph and the market town of Congleton.
Mow Cop is also only a stones throw away, offering a beautiful rural village which straddles the Cheshire and Staffordshire border. It sits beneath a sixty five foot rock feature called the Old Man O'Mow and the folly of an eighteenth century ruined castle, which shapes the horizon and is under the management of the National Trust.
Closer inspections are highly recommended. Why not take a moment to admire our immersive, interactive virtual tour.

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).
