Employment
Congleton enjoys a varied range of local employers with the Business Park being home to niche and high-tech companies.
As well as these you will also see the traditional textile companies dotted about nearer to the town centre, such as Berisfords and Derek Rose.
The added benefit is that it’s easily commutable to Manchester and the Midlands via rail or by the A34 which passes through the town.
The opening of the Link Road will only enhance opportunities within the area. The M6 motorway Junction 17 at Sandbach makes getting around all that bit easier.
Schools
Congleton is certainly on the map when it comes to schooling with ten primary schools and the two secondaries: Congleton High and Eaton Bank Academy, both achieving impressive Ofsted reports.
Children will be inspired to learn in the rich educational environment the town has to offer.
Property
According to Land Registry data, as at November 2021 the average property price in Congleton stood at £208,180 compared to a North West regional average of £184,099.
The figures speak for themselves and is testament to the town’s socio-economic standing. In the same month Congleton had an 8.82% increase in average property price.
There is a broad range of residential property type across the region; from Victorian terraces towards the town centre to plush riverside apartments to the top-end detached properties in the more rural outskirts.
With property prices holding their value well it is a great area for buy-to-let investment. Trends suggest that the suburb of West Heath – which has its own shopping precinct – is a fantastic location as it has a broad range of properties: apartments, 2 bed bungalows, 3 bed semi-detached up to the 4 and 5 bed detached.
Things to do
If you’re looking for entertainment you don’t need to look far. One thing Congleton isn’t short of is green space and being the gateway to the Peak District.
For those that like the outdoors there is Astbury Mere Country Park and Brereton Heath Local Nature Reserve on the doorstep which are great spots for walking.
The golf enthusiasts won’t be disappointed as there are two very popular golf courses to choose from.
In 2021 Congleton Park picked up the Green Flag Award in recognition of how well the site is looked after and the benefit for the local community.
It boasts a fantastic outdoor paddling pool and large play area for children, a bowling green and a pavilion. It plays host to many public events throughout the year such as a carnival, a teddy bears’ picnic and a fireworks display.
For those that enjoy socialising and eating out you are also very well catered for with a good selection of eateries, pubs and cocktail bars.
