The location is ideal - set on the fringes of town, the home is surrounded by wonderful green space and scenic countryside walks, with a children's play area.

Inside, the property is finished to a high standard throughout. A welcoming entrance hall leads to a convenient downstairs W.C., a spacious and relaxing living room, and a bright, open-plan kitchen and dining area at the rear with fitted appliances of fridge freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and cooker. This space is ideal for entertaining or family life, featuring modern fittings and full-width doors that open straight onto the garden, allowing natural sunlight to pour in throughout the day.
Upstairs, there are three comfortable bedrooms, including a generously sized main bedroom with a stylish en suite shower room. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining two bedrooms, all of which are beautifully kept and ready to move straight into.
Outside, the rear garden is surprisingly spacious and well-designed, complete with an extended patio area—perfect for relaxing, dining, or entertaining. It’s fully enclosed for privacy and peace of mind and features lights in the front and rear soffits. At the front of the house, there are two allocated parking spaces, offering convenient, practical parking without the need to juggle cars.

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).
