Accommodation & Layout: The design of the property lends itself perfectly to modern living, home working and family life.
Lower Ground Floor: The lower ground floor provides an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room, forming the heart of the home. Generously proportioned, this space is ideal for entertaining and everyday living, with ample room for a full dining table and direct access to the outside. A separate study on this level offers an excellent home office or hobby room, complemented by a utility room and cloakroom, keeping practical elements discreetly tucked away.
Ground Floor: On the main living level, the property features a bright and spacious sitting room that opens onto a private balcony, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the open views and outdoor seating. Also on this floor is a flexible bedroom/study, ideal for guests or multi-generational living, along with a WC. The integral garage is directly accessible, providing secure parking and additional storage.
First Floor: The upper floor hosts three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with en-suite shower room. A modern family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, all of which benefit from good natural light and a pleasant outlook.
Outside: To the rear, the property enjoys a private enclosed garden, mainly laid to lawn, offering a safe and usable outdoor space for children, pets, or relaxing. The balcony above provides an elevated vantage point with open views, a notable feature that enhances the sense of space and setting. To the front, there is driveway parking leading to the garage.
Style and Finish: The house presents with a modern architectural style, combining brickwork, light-rendered elevations and contemporary glazing. Internally, the layout is thoughtfully planned with clean lines, modern fittings and excellent flow between rooms, making the property both practical and visually appealing.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- This street — Gross yield for this street only (Land Registry sales + rental comparables, same postcode + street).
- 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).
