Set on a charming, tree-lined street in Meanwood, the property combines period character with modern comforts, making it a perfect choice for families or anyone seeking a peaceful yet well-connected lifestyle.

Just off the hallway, you'll discover a cosy sitting room with a large double-glazed window offering a lovely view over the front garden, also flooding the space with natural light. At the rear, the open-plan kitchen diner enjoys far-reaching views down the extensive garden. The kitchen itself provides ample cupboard space and a pantry, ideal for keeping all your cooking essentials close at hand. Double-glazed French doors lead directly out onto an Indian stone patio, perfect for entertaining. A second side door provides convenient access to the driveway at the side of the property.
Upstairs on the first floor, a spacious landing, large enough to accommodate a desk. Two generously sized double bedrooms and a stylish, modern family bathroom are located on the first floor. A further staircase rises to the second floor.

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).
