Description
Requiring modernisation throughout, the property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking for a home they can update and personalise to their own taste. The generous accommodation, useful built-in storage, off-road parking and substantial rear garden provide plenty of potential to create a comfortable family home.
On entering the property, the hallway provides access to the principal ground-floor rooms and the staircase leading to the first floor, along with useful built-in storage beneath the stairs.
The lounge is a generously proportioned reception room with ample space for a range of living room furniture. A feature fireplace provides a natural focal point, while the size of the room offers considerable scope for updating and creating an inviting main living space.
To the rear of the property is a separate dining room, enjoying views across the garden. Sliding patio doors allow plenty of natural light into the room and provide direct access to the outside, making this a pleasant space for everyday dining and entertaining.
The kitchen is also positioned towards the rear of the home and although requiring refurbishment, it offers good potential for a buyer wishing to redesign the space to suit their own requirements. A rear porch provides further access to the garden and leads to a convenient downstairs WC.
The first-floor landing provides access to all three bedrooms and the shower room, together with additional built-in storage.
The main bedroom is a comfortable double room with good space for bedroom furniture and useful built-in storage. The second bedroom is another well-proportioned room offering flexibility as a further double bedroom, children's room or guest room, while the third bedroom would work equally well as a bedroom, home office or study.
The shower room is fitted with a shower enclosure, wash hand basin and WC.
Externally, the property benefits from a driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles. To the rear is a particularly generous garden, with a substantial paved patio area immediately behind the property and a large lawn extending beyond, perfect for children, keen gardeners or those looking to create an attractive outdoor entertaining space.
Machin Crescent is conveniently situated within the established residential area of Bradwell, with local schools, shops and everyday amenities within easy reach. Combining spacious accommodation with a large garden, parking and excellent scope for improvement, this no-chain property represents an appealing opportunity for buyers looking to put their own stamp on a home.

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.

- 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).
