Description
Step through the front door and you’re greeted by a bright, airy hallway that sets the tone, filled with natural light and soft carpeting that feels as welcoming as a clear blue sky. Follow the flow into the main living space, where neutral décor, plush carpets and an abundance of sunlight pour in through large bay and standard windows, creating a room that feels light, open and effortlessly up lifting. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is ready for lift-off, featuring sleek modern units, integrated appliances and a layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Elegant French doors open directly onto the garden, blurring the line between indoors and out. A convenient cloakroom and storage cupboard complete the ground floor, keeping everything neatly grounded.
Upstairs, both bedrooms are bright and serene spaces designed for rest and recharge. Each benefits from built-in storage, soft carpeting and a soothing neutral palette. The main bedroom enjoys its own ensuite, adding a touch of first-class luxury. Both the ensuite and family bathroom are finished to a high standard, with stylish fixtures, a walk-in shower, a contemporary bathtub and cheerful pops of colour that add a little sparkle.
Outside, the property continues to soar. The rear garden offers a lawn and patio area, ideal for alfresco dining, soaking up the sun or stargazing on warm evenings. A dedicated driveway provides off-road parking, while the modern brick exterior ensures excellent kerb appeal. Set in the popular village of Baldwins Gate, you’ll enjoy easy access to local amenities, a fantastic primary school and excellent transport links, with everything else just a short drive away.

- 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).
