Description

This charming traditional home sits on a generous quarter-acre plot with mature gardens and long-reaching views. Entered via a gated driveway, offering ample parking and a detached garage.
Inside, a welcoming hall leads to the sitting room, kitchen, WC and stairs. The sitting room features an open fireplace, picture rail and a pleasant front outlook. At the rear, the kitchen and dining room create a practical, sociable space, with the kitchen offering traditional units, a range-style oven and garden views. The dining room, with period details, opens into a bright conservatory overlooking the grounds.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a single, all with picture rails. The front bedroom enjoys meadow views while the two rear bedrooms overlook the garden. The bathroom includes a bath, corner shower, basin and WC.
The large private rear garden is a standout feature, with a stone patio, sunken pond, Victorian-style lamps, sweeping lawns and fruit trees. The generous plot offers potential for development, extensions and a possible plot, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Gross yield 4.2%
Cost-to-rent ratio 23.8×
Monthly cashflow £-340/mo 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term

  • 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).
