A separate utility room and a convenient downstairs W.C add further practicality to the ground floor accommodation.
Rising to the first floor, a bridged landing enhances the sense of space and style of this property and leads to five well proportioned bedrooms, making this an ideal home for growing families. The master bedroom enjoys the added luxury of its own ensuite shower room and a walk in wardrobe area. Bedrooms two and three are thoughtfully designed with a Jack and Jill shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary three piece family bathroom. The addition of shutters to the first floor windows provides a stylish and refined finish throughout.
Externally, the property continues to impress with a large enclosed rear garden, mainly laid to lawn and complemented by a patio seating area, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. Finished to a high specification throughout and offering a wonderful balance of space, style and location, this outstanding home must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

Gross yield 2.8%
Cost-to-rent ratio 35.6×
Monthly cashflow £-1,162/mo 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term

  • 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).
