Description
To the right of the welcoming hallway, double doors open into the living room, where a feature fireplace takes centre stage. ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’, as this cosy space is the perfect place to unwind. ‘Some Might Say’ the real star of the show is the stunning open-plan kitchen, dining room and conservatory. The kitchen is finished with sleek light blue shaker style cabinetry, crisp white worktops, with integrated cooker hood and washing machine, and plenty of space for further appliances.
The useful utility room keeps the practical bits neatly tucked away, with room for a washing machine, dryer and fridge freezer. From here, the dining area enjoys French doors opening onto the garden, alongside a lovely window bringing in plenty of natural light, making it a bright spot for dinner times and entertaining. ‘Stand By Me’, and you’ll find the conservatory offering another peaceful place to sit on that ‘Rockin’ Chair’, relax and enjoy those views over the garden.
Upstairs, ‘Live Forever’ in two spacious double bedrooms, alongside a smart shower room with vanity wash hand basin, W.C. and a separate shower cubicle neatly tucked behind the door. Then there’s the loft room, a fantastic bonus space with useful eaves storage and Velux windows framing those ‘Champagne Supernova’ countryside views. A perfect spot for a home office, hobby room or simply somewhere to escape.
Outside, ‘Let There Be Love’ for this fantastic low-maintenance garden, with a generous patio area made for BBQs and alfresco dining, plus a smaller grass section with potential for some updating to create a gardening area. Best of all, a gate at the bottom opens directly onto beautiful countryside walks, giving you that ‘Magic Pie’ feeling of having the great outdoors right on your doorstep, with the added extra of the green to the front of the house, wrapping you in nature!
And finally, there’s ‘Whatever’ you need for parking, with a handy driveway providing space for two cars. With modern living, flexible space, stunning views and countryside walks straight from the garden, this little Oasis is certainly one to ‘Keep the Dream Alive’.

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).
