## Description

Delightfully situated to form part of this established Oldswinford address, this BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED AND WELL MAINTAINED, TWO-BEDROOM, PERIOD TERRACE HOME presents a deceptive external style, and shall require internal viewing for full appreciation. There are several interesting features to see, and with the bonus of potential off-road parking.

The look of character and the style of a period home are always endearing, yet modern appointments are essential for comfort and warmth, and with this exceptional home, the combination of style and quality conveniences works together very well. Overall, the décor is neutral and complemented by attractive laminated wood/oak-style flooring on the ground floor and plush carpet on the first. Moreover, the kitchen is streamlined and well-fitted, and the first-floor bathroom has been expensively reappointed.

Perhaps of greater significance, this is a home where off-road parking is viable. Subject to a small access arrangement with nominal cost, rear access may be provided to the rear boundary, whereby a siding gate opens to a double-width drive. As such, there is discreet parking within the property's own ground – very few homes of this age and type have such an advantage. Commuters will find favour with the convenience of the address, just a short distance from Oldswinford shops and amenities, and within easy reach of Stourbridge Junction train station.

In summary, the gas centrally heated and double-glazed accommodation is tasteful and uncluttered, planned over two floors with a sitting room, kitchen and stairs down to a traditional brick-arch cellar. On the first floor, there are two bedrooms and a larger than expected bathroom. Within the level low-maintenance garden, an outbuilding has been converted to a versatile utility providing both general-purpose storage space and plumbing for an automatic washing machine.

- **Rent ratio:** 0.42% (weak for cashflow)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £125,000
- **Target investor price (1%):** £100,000

*Monthly rent ÷ price. 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak. Max investor price = rent ÷ 0.8% (Stoke-style target). Target investor price = rent ÷ 1% (strong cashflow band). Based on OpenRent comparables.*

- **Cost-to-rent:** 20×
- **Monthly cashflow:** £-70/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** -1.2%

*Gross yield = annual rent as % of price (no costs). Cost-to-rent = price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables); under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed. Cashflow = rent − 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).*
