Description
This three-bedroom end terrace in stone isn’t just easy on the eye… its spans over three floors and is designed with a natural sense of flow and positive chi, creating a home that feels calm, considered and effortlessly liveable from the very first step inside. Whether you’re a first-time buyer ready for a fresh start, an upsizer looking for more room to grow, or a downsizer seeking simplicity without compromise, this home meets you exactly where you are and moves with you.
The living room is your first stop on this journey, a place where the energy settles, the shoulders drop, and suddenly the day feels a lot lighter. Calm, cosy and perfectly balanced. Even the practical touches play their part, with tucked-away under-stairs storage keeping the flow uninterrupted and the clutter out of sight (because chaos has no place here). Now, follow the natural rhythm of the home… The kitchen diner opens and instantly shifts the mood, this is where things come to life. The outdoors floods in through the glazed French doors, drawing your eye out to the garden and keeping that all-important connection to nature. Whether it’s morning coffee, midweek meals or a well-earned takeaway, this space handles it all with ease. With modern cabinets and wood grain effect worktops bringing warmth and style, alongside an integrated four burner gas hob and oven, space for additional appliances and a stainless steel one and a half sink and drainer, everything is set up just as it should be. A conveniently placed downstairs WC with pedestal wash hand basin completes the ground floor.
Head upstairs, and the calm continues. Two bedrooms sit peacefully on the first floor, each offering their own little escape, whether that’s a good night’s sleep, a productive work-from-home setup, or a space to simply shut the door and reset. The family bathroom keeps things effortless, with a bath and shower combination, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. But wait… there’s one more level to this story. Through a separate door, a staircase leads you away from it all, and up into your own private retreat. The master suite is tucked neatly on the second floor, creating that sense of separation that feels just right. Spacious, and thoughtfully arranged, it comes complete with a dressing area to keep everything organised and flowing. And the ensuite? A walk-in shower, WC and pedestal wash hand basin, your own little recharge zone at the end of the day.
Step outside, and the pace softens even further. Pathways gently guide you through the garden, leading to a cobbled seating area, while the patio and lawn offer space to stretch out, entertain or simply do… nothing at all. And when real life calls, it’s all taken care of, with a gated rear pathway leading to parking for two cars, keeping things practical without disturbing the peace.

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.
- 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).
- 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).
