Description
There are three en-suite bedrooms, with the principal bedroom also benefiting from additional hallway storage, which could be used as a through dressing area. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath, wash hand basin and WC, whilst the en-suites all offer shower cubicles and are finished to a standard in keeping with the rest of the property.
One of the standout features of this fantastic family home is the open-plan kitchen, dining, living and reception space. Generously proportioned, this area offers a great deal of versatility due to its open-plan nature and provides an excellent social and family-friendly environment. Both reception areas enjoy doors leading out to the rear garden.
The kitchen itself is finished to a standard matching the rest of the property and incorporates integrated appliances. There is also a useful utility room just off the kitchen.
Externally, to the front, the property offers ample driveway parking, with the remainder predominantly gravelled for ease of maintenance. The rear garden is of a good size, although following the works carried out to the property it does still require landscaping, giving a buyer an excellent opportunity to put their own stamp on the outside space.
Available with no onward chain.

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).
