WHAT WE LOVE
We LOVE the stunning kitchen diner. Located to the rear of the property with double doors leading out to the garden and internal double doors leading into the living room. The kitchen area boasts a range off wall and base units, work surface, oven, grill, 4 ring gas hob, extractor fan, built in fridge freezer and dishwasher, sink and drainer and soft close units.
We LOVE that there is another separate reception room on the ground floor apart from the living room. Currently being used as a playroom but could be an ideal office.
There is a useful utility that doubles up as a downstairs W/C. With a built in washing machine, base units, work surface, wash hand basin and W/C.
We LOVE that all four bedrooms are double bedrooms.. The main bedroom has an en suite. The en suite has a shower cubicle, wash hand basin, W/C and vanity unit.
The house bathroom has a bath with shower over, wash hand basin, W/C, vanity and heated towel rail.
We LOVE the rear garden. coming out of the kitchen diner onto a paved sitting area. There is also another paved area to the rear of the garden. Flat lawned area and a shrub boarder.
The current owner has extended the parking to the front and there is also a detached single garage that has up and over doors, power and light.

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).
