Description
Presented to an exceptional standard throughout, this recently modernised two-bedroom home offers a superb blend of contemporary style and practical living, making it an outstanding choice for first time buyers, professionals, or investors seeking a turnkey property in a desirable location.
The property enjoys the added benefit of a newly installed boiler, and is being offered for sale with no onward chain!
Upon entering, you are welcomed into an inviting hallway that sets the tone for the quality found throughout. The bright and spacious living room provides an elegant setting for everyday relaxation, enhanced by tasteful décor and a warm, homely ambiance.
The newly fitted kitchen offers a sleek, modern finish, complemented by generous storage, ample worktop space, and high quality LVT flooring. Designed with both style and functionality in mind, this is a superb space for cooking and dining.
To the first floor, the property continues to impress. The principal bedroom is notably large, offering an excellent footprint for furnishings and creating a calm, luxurious retreat. The second bedroom is equally well proportioned and versatile, ideal for guests, children, or a dedicated home office. A beautifully modernised family bathroom completes the accommodation, showcasing contemporary fittings and a refined finish.
The appeal of this home extends outdoors, where the garden provides an attractive and private setting for relaxing or entertaining. A standout feature is the large, fully powered cabin, currently used as a social space. Complete with electricity and lighting, this exceptional outbuilding offers a wealth of possibilities — from a stylish home office or studio, to a hobby room, gym, or entertaining space.
With its comprehensive modern upgrades, generous room proportions, and impressive garden cabin, this property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully finished home with exceptional additional space. Early viewing is highly recommended.

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).
