This fantastic semi-detached house is the perfect family home. The large lounge and dining areas span over the length of the house to give you great flexibility for accommodating any family and social occasions. With a contemporary decor throughout, you will feel a great sense of comfort and relaxation as you walk through the door. Preparing meals comes easy with the large family kitchen/breakfast area. Access to the garden through the kitchen, as well as the dining area will allow you to keep an eye on the children as they make the most of the garden during the summer months. Upstairs the space continues to impress with the three separate bedrooms, you will undoubtedly have been taken by surprise by the two largest bedrooms as they provide a wealth of space and room to grow. With local supermarkets within easy access, getting your weekly shop done will be a breeze and if on the odd occasion you forget the milk, you have a local Co-op close by.Local amenities not only feature shops, but also a local Primary School, which is a short walk away. The area has superb access links, with Swale Way just around the corner taking you to the A249, but for anyone looking to commute, Sittingbourne train station is a short distance away.What the Owner says:

  • 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.
