Description
With a neat front-garden with a laid-to-lawn greenery, entry is through a uPVC door that opens to a front reception room. Bright, airy and neutrally decorated with stairs leading to the first floor and built-in storage, the space is well presented throughout with laminate flooring, access to a modern-fitted kitchen found to the rear of the downstairs plan and a large double-glazed window to the front aspect allowing an influx of natural light into the space. With an extensive range of wall and base level units, space for all necessary appliances and double-glazed windows overlooking the rear-garden, the kitchen is well equipped and provides further space for a dining table and chairs, with uPVC doors leading to the garden. The first floor accommodation has been configured to accommodate three bedrooms, all of which are presented in excellent condition. A three-piece family bathroom has been modernised in recent years and completes the accommodation on offer. To the rear, a well kept, private and low maintenance garden which is mainly laid-to-lawn is complete with a paved patio area and raised borders. A driveway to the front and a single-detached garage allow off-road parking for at-least two vehicles. The property also benefits from a newly installed boiler in 2021 and CCTV.
Priced competitively for an immediate sale and with the added benefit of gas central heating and double-glazing throughout, early viewing is essential to truly appreciate the convenient location the home has to offer.

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).
