Description
The immaculate accommodation consists of a porch opening into the welcoming entrance hall, with access to the well-appointed shower room. There are two bright and spacious reception rooms, both flooded with natural light. The front room also boasts a living flame fire with stone tiled hearth and mantle, whilst the rear reception has newly installed cabling to support home cinema surround sound systems. There is a spectacular dining area which flows seamlessly into the conservatory, which is flooded with natural light and enjoys views over the garden. An opening from the dining leads through to the stylish kitchen which is fitted with an ample range of contemporary kitchen units complimented by Quartz tops. Furthermore, adjoining the kitchen is a modern utility room with a door leading out onto the garden.
Stairs from the hallway rise up to the first floor which reveals four well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom boasting an en-suite shower room and balcony. The bedrooms are further served by the newly fitted, stylish family bathoom. In addition, to the right of the stair case is a delightful gallery landing area creating an ideal reading nook/study area.
The property has been newly redecorated throughout and new carpets fitted throughout.
The property is approached via an Indian stone driveway allowing parking for two vehicles. A gate to the side of the driveway leads through to the attractive tree-lined garden which is not overlooked and benefits from a triple aspect, mainly laid to lawn, with an area of chip stone and a paved patio. Double gates to the rear of the garden, allow access from Didsbury Park, providing further off street parking. In addition there is a useful storage cupboard accessible from the rear of the property.
There is further potential to extend to the side and rear of the property.

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).
