Description
Upstairs, you’ll find two large double bedrooms, including a superb main bedroom complete with a modern en-suite. A third bedroom comfortably fits a double bed, while the fourth is a well-proportioned single currently used as a bright and practical office space.
Downstairs, the home opens with a spacious living room leading through to a stylish, extended kitchen-diner, perfect for family life and entertaining. The attached garage sits adjacent to the living room, offering further storage or conversion potential. A new boiler installed five years ago adds peace of mind.
A fantastic opportunity to secure a spacious, modern family home in a sought-after location.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on Area rent estimate.
- 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).
