Description
New Orchard Barn is a lovely home, ideal for either a family or even a downsizing couple, situated in a splendid rural position within beautiful surrounding countryside. The house stands in pretty, cottage style gardens with several terraced areas and a covered pergola, with full height windows from the main reception rooms spilling out onto the terrace. There are good parking facilities for three cars including a small private driveway area, and there is a single garage with electric car charging point.
Internally, the accommodation is beautifully presented and of lovely quality. The entrance hall has a feature open-tread contemporary staircase with a high vaulted ceiling and this gives access to each of the ground floor rooms. An oversized tiled floor runs throughout most of the house and there is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. The heart of the house is the huge open-plan kitchen dining living room with a lovely contemporary kitchen, large central island, feature living flame fireplace and a triple use space providing enough room for a large dining table, family room and kitchen with breakfast bar. There is a small snug/lounge on the other side of the hall with an oak floor, which overlooks the garden and a ground floor WC and utility room.
At first floor level are four good sized double bedrooms all enjoying the lovely aspect, the main bedroom with dual views and an immaculate en suite shower room and walk-through dressing area. The remaining three bedrooms are all good sized doubles and benefit from high vaulted ceilings which creates a real feeling of volume and space and they share a lovely family bathroom.
Services: Shared treatment plant, LPG central heating. There is a community service charge of £60 per month which covers the running costs for the treatment plant and some communal gardening work.

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).
