The kitchen is fitted and functional, providing a good amount of worktop and storage space, while the shower room is serviceable, well cared for and ready for immediate use. To the rear of the property is the standout L shaped lounge diner, a great size and a particularly attractive feature of the home, offering ample room for both living and dining furniture together with pleasant views out towards the garden and beyond. This is a lovely space for day to day living as well as entertaining family and friends.

The second bedroom is also a double bedroom, making the property well suited to a range of purchasers including downsizers, couples and those requiring guest accommodation or a home office.
Externally, the property continues to impress. There is a driveway providing parking for several vehicles, along with an attached single garage which also houses the gas central heating boiler. The rear aspect is a real feature, enjoying a delightful open outlook over fields which adds to the sense of peace and privacy.
Further benefits include UPVC double glazing and gas central heating. With its sought after bungalow layout, no upward chain position, well maintained interior and superb rear outlook, this is a property with clear appeal and exciting potential in a desirable part of Madeley.

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).
