## Description

DB Roberts are delighted to present this beautifully extended detached family home, originally built in 2017 and significantly enhanced by the current owners.

The property has been thoughtfully transformed, including the conversion of the former garage into a versatile reception space and the addition of an impressive single-storey rear extension.

The well-planned accommodation is arranged over two floors. The ground floor briefly comprises an inviting entrance hall with feature flooring, a home office, and a flexible reception room currently used as a gym.

However, the true "wow factor" lies in the breathtaking open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area, featuring a high-specification fitted kitchen with a central island, media wall, and patio doors opening onto the rear garden, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

Upstairs, the excellence continues with three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, along with a modern family bathroom.

The property boasts curb appeal with ample driveway parking to the front and a beautifully landscaped rear garden.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this impressive home has to offer.

- **Rent ratio:** 0.32% (weak for cashflow)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £140,625
- **Target investor price (1%):** £112,500

*Monthly rent ÷ price. 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak. Max investor price = rent ÷ 0.8% (Stoke-style target). Target investor price = rent ÷ 1% (strong cashflow band). Based on OpenRent comparables.*

*Gross yield = annual rent as % of price (no costs). Cost-to-rent = price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables); under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed. Cashflow = rent − 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).*
