Description
This superbly transformed and deceptively spacious home, having undergone a major extension and comprehensive refurbishment since 2023 is sold with no onward chain. The result is a property that has been practically doubled in size, with a layout that perfectly suits modern living and entertaining.
The works have been extensive and thorough: The property has been taken back to brick and then renewed with a full re-wire and full re-plumb, alongside new flooring and fresh décor throughout. Further enhancing the feel, the home also boasts new windows plus new internal and external doors, with virtually every fixture and fitting replaced since 2023 (the only exception being the boiler, which was already modern).
At the heart of the home is a newly installed contemporary kitchen, complete with an impressive range cooker, flowing into the main living space well over 6m in length, where bi-folding doors open onto the generous rear garden – creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor connection ideal for family life and hosting.
Upstairs offers three double bedrooms and a large family bathroom featuring a separate shower and bath, wash basin and WC, while a downstairs WC within the utility area adds everyday practicality. The main bedroom enjoys an ensuite shower room.
Externally, the property continues to impress with gated off-road parking and gardens that have been partly landscaped to the front, side and rear. It is worth noting that the external finishing touches have been left incomplete, simply due to the current owners’ imminent relocation overseas – presenting an opportunity for the next buyer to add the final stamp and complete the outside to their own taste.
Tenure: Freehold. Current council tax band = A. EPC = C

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).
