Description
This charming three-bedroom terraced house is perfectly positioned for modern living, located just a half-mile walk from the mainline railway station and with a host of local amenities right on your doorstep.
DESCRIPTION
The property welcomes you via an entrance hallway, leading into a bright and spacious lounge that flows seamlessly into a dedicated dining area. This superb open-plan layout creates a versatile and sociable heart of the home, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Towards the rear, you will find a well-appointed kitchen and a convenient ground-floor family bathroom. A standout feature of this home is the useful cellar, offering excellent additional storage or potential for conversion (subject to necessary permissions).
Ascending to the first floor, a central landing provides loft access and leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, offering flexible accommodation for a growing family, a couple needing a home office.
Externally, the property benefits from an enclosed courtyard-style rear garden – a private, low-maintenance space perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or some al-fresco dining in the warmer months.

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).
