Interior - The property opens into a spacious reception hall, setting the tone for the quality and space that flows throughout the home. A useful cloakroom/WC is located off the hallway. Double doors lead into a stunning L-shaped open-plan kitchen/diner, a real showstopper, measuring an impressive 23' x 22' (7.2m x 6.7m) — perfect for modern family living and entertaining, including a log burning stove. The kitchen boasts a central island, high-quality fitted cabinets, and stylish quartz worktops. Integrated appliances include an induction hob, extractor fan, double oven, dishwasher, and full-height fridge and freezer. This bright and airy space benefits from dual-aspect windows and French doors opening onto the rear garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Adjacent is a practical utility room providing access to the rear garden and integral double garage. To the front, a fabulous dual-aspect sitting room provides a peaceful retreat, enjoying French doors to the garden and flooding the space with natural light.
On the first floor, a spacious galleried landing leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom is a true sanctuary, featuring both a window and skylight with a serene outlook, extensive walk-in wardrobes, and a stylish en-suite shower room. Bedroom two also benefits from its own en-suite, making it ideal for guests or older children. The remaining three bedrooms are all generously sized and served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.
Exterior - The property enjoys a beautifully landscaped plot with a south-westerly aspect rear garden, making the most of its corner position with uninterrupted views across mature woodland and the balancing pond. A large paved patio, raised borders, and a cosy decked seating area provide ideal spaces for relaxing or entertaining. A spacious driveway with additional side parking provides ample off-road parking in addition to the integral double garage.

- 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).
