Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached home is the ideal opportunity for buyers looking for a property they can move straight into while also having the potential to modernise and add value. Well located and offering a practical layout, the property is being sold with no onward chain.

The ground floor features an entrance porch leading to the hallway, a fitted kitchen, and a spacious living room with views over the rear garden. An integral garage provides excellent storage and the possibility to convert, subject to planning.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, including two doubles and a single, along with a family bathroom. Outside, the home offers a driveway for off-road parking and a manageable rear garden, providing a private outdoor space without being high maintenance.

Although perfectly liveable as it stands, the property would benefit from some cosmetic updating, making it an excellent choice for first-time buyers or families looking for a home they can make their own. Early viewing is strongly recommended.

  • 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.
