Accessed via a pathway sweeping through the front garden, the entrance hall leads onto the main living accommodation which comprises of two reception rooms overlooking the front - the main reception having vaulted ceilings, exposed ceiling beams and exposed brick fire place, while double doors to the second reception offers a variety of uses as a dining room or play room if desired. The kitchen is fitted with a range of solid hand made, in-frame units with space for appliances and a breakfast table. Off the kitchen is a very useful utility room which houses the oil central heating boiler. The utility also leads out onto the rear courtyard which is completely enclosed offering a great degree of privacy and security.
Further along the hallway, there are four further rooms - a home office/bedroom four, along with three further double bedrooms, one of which has a three piece en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are serviced by two bathrooms - one of which is fitted with a bath, the other as a shower room.

A block paved driveway provides off road parking.

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).
