Description
This stellar Persimmon-built home opens into an initial entrance hallway, providing access to the convenient ground-floor W.C., as well as the spacious lounge, which extends over 15 feet in length. The lounge is a delightful space, benefitting from a large front facing window, handy under-stairs store cupboard, and neutral décor throughout.
Onwards within the home, the dining room and kitchen are combined to form one airy space, filled with light courtesy of the glazed French doors at the rear. The kitchen benefits from superb cabinetry, with space for a fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher, whilst an integrated electric oven and gas hob are also fitted.
The upper floor of the home is formed of a generous landing space, alongside two fabulous double bedrooms and a well-equipped family bathroom, all of which has been maintained to a stellar standard. The bathroom benefits from a full length bath with shower above, sink and W.C.
Externally, the home is served by an exceptional driveway to the front, and benefits from a well-maintained south-east facing rear garden, with charming patio area, upgraded decking and an outside tap.
Woodpecker Way is well connected, with easy access to Shepshed town centre, whilst the proximity to Hathern and the A6 makes the journey to Loughborough a breeze, whilst Kegworth and the surrounding villages are all readily accessible. Iveshead School is only a short distance away, ensuring that this home is ideal for families.

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).
