Description
Extended on the ground floor, the property benefits from a living room with log burning stove and bayed window overlooking the front driveway. The living room leads into the extended kitchen and dining room, which is truly the heart of this home. The current owners have sympathetically mixed old with new and finished to a high specification, with composite work surfaces, range eye and base level units and fitted appliances, natural light floods in from skylight window overhead. The dining room boasts view of the rear garden, and features double doors leading out to the patio area, the perfect spot for alfresco dining. Additionally, there is a separate w/c.
On the first floor, there are two well-sized double bedrooms, one of which benefits from fitted cupboards, and a four-piece family bathroom.
Bedroom one can be found on the second floor, benefitting from fitted cupboards, and boating wonderful views of the rear garden.
Externally, to the rear, the generous garden is mainly laid to lawn, with a large patio area leading directly from the kitchen. There is a large outbuilding to the rear of the garden, making a great home office, or social summer to enjoy in the summer months.
Convenience is key and the village amenities are just a short stroll away, including local shops, schools, and transport links are within easy reach.

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).
