Description
Step inside through the front door into a welcoming hallway, complete with a stylish tiled floor and a staircase leading off to the left. A door opens to reveal a contemporary cloakroom, fitted with a white suite including a WC and a modern corner wash basin with a pillar mixer tap, complemented by a designer radiator.
A half-glazed door leads from the hallway into a generously sized living room featuring a front-facing bow window, decorative ceiling coving and a feature fireplace at its heart. B-ifold doors open up to reveal a stunning, partially open-plan kitchen and dining area, where a natural stone tiled floor runs seamlessly throughout.
The dining room offers ample space for a large family table and boasts French doors that open out onto the patio and gardens beyond. A wide archway connects to the beautifully refitted kitchen, designed with a range of soft ivory Shaker-style base and wall units wrapped around all sides. These are topped with heavy duty laminate countertops, incorporating a large one-and-a-half bowl porcelain sink beneath a window with lovely views of the rear garden. The kitchen is fully equipped with an AEG induction hob and extractor hood, an eye-level oven and grill, an integrated dishwasher and space for an American-style fridge freezer.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a highly practical utility/boot room, offering additional base and wall units for extra storage. It features a roll-top counter, inset stainless steel sink with mixer tap, and space/plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. The Worcester Bosch gas-fired central heating boiler is also housed here, and a rear door provides direct access to the garden.
Upstairs, a side-facing window brightens the landing, which offers built-in shelved storage and linen cupboards. Oak doors lead to the bedroom accommodation. There are two generously proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in wardrobes, and a comfortable third bedroom. The rear-facing principal bedroom enjoys far-reaching views over the landscaped garden to the fields and open countryside beyond. It is tastefully fitted with a suite of bedroom furniture including bedside units, drawers, cabinets, and a triple wardrobe.
The family bathroom has been stylishly updated featuring a large quadrant walk-in shower with rainfall and handheld options, tasteful wall tiling, a modern wash hand basin, WC, an electric heated towel radiator and a separate radiator for additional comfort.
Outside - The rear garden is a true highlight-landscaped to a high standard with neatly maintained lawns, mature planted borders, and extending to an impressive length. A full-width paved patio provides the perfect space for entertaining, while a block-paved pathway leads down through the garden to a peaceful seating area. The garden enjoys a high degree of privacy, backing onto open fields, and features two garden sheds and a charming summer house, perfect for a tranquil retreat.

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).
