Description
As you step into the entrance hall, the home feels fresh, clean and well organised, with a useful guest WC adding everyday convenience. To the front, the modern kitchen is bright and neatly arranged, offering good worktop space and storage, making it easy to cook and keep things organised. Whether preparing quick meals or trying something new, the layout supports a smooth routine. Moving towards the rear, the full width living room opens up into a comfortable and flexible space, ideal for relaxing after a long day or spending time with friends and family. There is plenty of room for both seating and dining if desired, allowing the space to adapt as your needs change. French doors lead directly out to the garden, bringing in natural light and making it easy to extend your living space outdoors during warmer months.
Upstairs, the home continues to feel bright and well planned, with two double bedrooms offering comfortable and practical living. Each room provides enough space for bedroom furniture along with additional storage, and they can easily be adapted for home working or hobbies if needed. The bathroom is modern and easy to maintain, with a clean finish that suits busy day to day life.
Having been purchased new in 2023, the property still benefits from the remainder of the NHBC warranty through to June 2033, giving added peace of mind for years to come. Outside, the enclosed south west facing garden is designed to be both enjoyable and easy to care for. Mainly laid to lawn with a paved patio area, it offers a great space to relax, dine or entertain in the afternoon and evening sun. This balance of lawn and seating area makes it ideal for first time buyers who want outdoor space without too much upkeep. To the side of the property, there is a private driveway with parking for two cars, adding to the overall convenience and making day to day living simple and stress free. As an end terrace, the home also benefits from a slightly more open feel and added sense of privacy.
The location in Lawley Bank is well suited to first time buyers, offering a strong mix of convenience and community. Local shops and everyday amenities are within easy reach, making it simple to pick up essentials without travelling far. There are also cafes, small businesses and useful services nearby, helping to support a comfortable daily routine. For those who enjoy staying active or spending time outdoors, there are green spaces and walking routes close by, providing a welcome break from busy days. Transport links are another key benefit, with good access to major roads and nearby routes into Telford town centre and beyond, making commuting straightforward.
The area continues to grow in popularity due to its modern feel and well planned surroundings, making it an appealing place to settle. With its nearly new condition, remaining warranty, private driveway, and south west facing garden, this freehold home offers a practical and enjoyable lifestyle, giving first time buyers a strong and confident step onto the property ladder.

- 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).
