Description
Located on Halse Road and just a short walk from Brackley town centre, this attractive three-bedroom terraced home offers generous living space, a stylish interior, and a low-maintenance garden—ideal for modern family life.
The home opens into a welcoming living room, beautifully presented with wood flooring and a feature fireplace, creating a cosy yet spacious area for relaxing or entertaining. An archway leads into the well-equipped kitchen, which was thoughtfully renovated around 10 years ago. The kitchen includes a central island with a breakfast bar, white cabinetry, tiled splashbacks, an extractor fan, built-in storage, and space for freestanding appliances. French doors from the kitchen open directly onto the garden, enhancing the flow of natural light and providing effortless access for indoor-outdoor living.
The rear garden has been designed for ease and enjoyment, featuring an artificial lawn (laid approximately 8 years ago), a raised patio, and a decked seating area—perfect for summer dining or relaxing. The front of the property also benefits from a small patio-style garden area with steps to the entrance.
Upstairs, the home offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all with neutral décor and carpeted floors, offering flexible space for families, guests, or home working. The family bathroom was upgraded around 7 years ago and is finished to a high standard, with a freestanding roll-top bath, separate shower cubicle, modern tiling, a heated towel rail, W.C., and built-in vanity storage.
There is unallocated on-street parking, and the property’s location is ideal for easy access to local schools, shops, leisure facilities, and transport links—making this a convenient and comfortable place to call home.

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).
