Description
The property is modern throughout and has been exceptionally well maintained by the current vendor. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a neat entrance hallway which leads into a bright and airy lounge/diner, a fantastic open and sociable space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. This flows openly into the modern fitted kitchen, which offers a stylish range of wall and base units with contemporary work surfaces over, a sink and drainer, integrated fridge/freezer, fitted cooker and hob, all finished to a high standard. The ground floor also benefits from a downstairs WC, adding to the practicality of the layout.
Upstairs continues the modern theme, with two generous double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes. Bedroom one has been further enhanced by the vendor with a bespoke fitted wardrobe, offering excellent storage, along with stylish modern wall panelling that adds a real touch of character and quality. The family bathroom is sleek and contemporary, featuring a panelled bath with shower over, low-level WC and wash hand basin, making it both functional and attractive.
Externally, the property enjoys a good-sized yet low-maintenance rear garden, with a patio area perfect for outdoor seating and entertaining, while the remainder is laid to lawn. To the front or nearby, the home also benefits from two allocated parking spaces, providing convenient off-road parking for two vehicles.
Located in the ever-popular village of Tiptree, the property is ideally positioned to take advantage of a wide range of local amenities. Tiptree is well known for its strong sense of community, excellent schooling options, and its mix of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and supermarkets.

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).
