A door takes you through to the extended kitchen dining room with ample space for good sized dining table. The kitchen is fully equipped with a range of floor and wall cabinets, a built in electric oven and ceramic hob with extractor, space and plumbing for dish washer, washing machine and tumble dryer and has a beautiful ceramic tiled floor. An extension across the back has created an open plan separate dining room with sliding full height doors to two walls, one opening to the garden, the other to the covered al fresco dining area linking to the covered way and garage.

Rent ratio 0.3%
Max investor price (0.8%) £165,250

  • 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).
