The kitchen has been finished to a high standard with white wall and base units, light oak worktops, chrome detailing. Fitted dishwasher and range cooker and space for American-style fridge freezer. A side door leads to the side of the property and internal door to the integral garage, which is currently adapted as a utility/storage area complete with power, plumbing, and space for additional white goods.
Upstairs, the landing offers built-in storage and leads to three well-proportioned double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes and another benefitting from its own en suite shower room. A fourth single bedroom and a separate study/office provide even more flexibility for families, home workers, or those needing extra guest space. The stylishly updated family bathroom features a vanity basin, low-level WC, and a bath with shower over and tiled surround. The spacious bedroom, ensuite and study extension above the garage enhance the upper level with added functionality and comfort.

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).
