Description
Hessle Drive is located towards the west of town, buried within the roads that loop around from Woodville Road. A relatively quiet family neighbourhood, the area is every popular with homeowners from all walks of life. Singles, couples, families, the elderly, can all find a safe and happy home along the roads in the immediate vicinity. A half mile radius around the home pretty much covers all necessary bases including schools, health clubs and retail - eastbound takes you into town, northbound is Boston Tennis Club, Boston West School, Indoor Bowls Club, Squash & Racketball Club and The Sportsman Pool Hall and Bar, southbound you'll find Westgate Wood / Jenny's Wood and the fishing lakes along with The Mallard and Fisherman's Rest, and across to the west is the retail park including Dunelm, B&M, PureGym, as well as Oldrids Downtown, Lidl, Tesco, the Princess Royal Sports Arena, Boston Rugby Club, the Boston Aerodrome, McDonalds and Starbucks, with planning permission granted for an M&S Foodhall on the neighbouring site.
The property itself has seen some cosmetic improvements made in the current owners tenure - with some lovely modern décor added in the lounge to compliment the existing kitchen aesthetics, as well as a brand new shower room upstairs, and new carpets. The general feel we get upon walking in is immediately welcoming. The marble effect tiled floor is a modern touch with some characterful charm retained - such as the treated wooden staircase complete with runner and stair rods for that classic look. The lounge is bright, and has wonderful contrasting walls from the light emulsion to the treated wood acoustic wall panels that flank the chimney breast. As we go along to the kitchen, we now see the wow-factor of the home. A huge kitchen island offers a superb amount of functioning space for working, storage and seating, with the outer edges lines with matching high gloss units, white marble effect work surfaces, and integrated appliances. Acoustic wall panelling is again a classy and modern touch - fitted to the same aspect wall as the lounge for that feeling of synchronicity. The addition of the second sitting room at the rear, overlooking the garden via double doors is a huge bonus. Is it a music room, kids play room, separate dining room, or snug? The practical uses of this space are so versatile, and with a secondary door that leads to a side entrance and the downstairs bathroom too, this whole rear section of the home can be completely self-sustaining.
The first floor of the home offers two fabulous sized double bedrooms, with the third being a single sized room, currently used as a dressing room. There's a brand new modern shower room to the front aspect too - adjacent to the master bedroom, which is key to the practicality and functioning of the home.
Externally you'll find ample parking to the front and side of the home, with a long driveway leading to the detached brick built garage. To the side and rear of this, there's a wonderful long lawn that is book-ended by raised decking at the foot of the garden - an ideal sunbathing or alfresco dining spot, and a patio area at the foot of the house. Flanked by 6ft fencing with concrete posts, the garden is enclosed, safe and secure, and makes the ideal playground for adults, children and pets.
Hessle Drive can simply be summarised as a beautifully presented family home, in an ideal location for a broad spectrum of people, with varying wants and needs. Viewing is absolutely essential - so get in touch with us to arrange your private accompanied tour of this fabulous property.
Serviced with mains gas, water, electricity and drainage, and is Council Tax Band rated B.

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).
