Description
Offered to the market with no onward chain, the house consists of a large welcoming entrance hallway, with the large, spacious and light-filled open plan kitchen, dining and living area to the rear. The true heart of the home is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Large windows and bi-fold doors frame stunning countryside views, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. The ground floor also consists of a large office, utility room, WC and integral double garage.
To the first floor, the generous main bedroom suite occupies a prime position at the rear, enjoying open rural views. It includes two en-suites (a shower room and a bathroom) and a large dressing room, which was originally the fifth bedroom and could easily be reinstated if desired. Two further double bedrooms are also located on this floor, one of which benefits from its own en-suite. The fourth ensuite bedroom also takes in the lovely rural views at the rear and is located above the garage via a separate staircase. Exceptionally large and versatile, this space could serve as a guest suite, home studio, or self-contained annex.
Outside, the property enjoys a sizeable private rear garden with an extensive flagged patio perfectly positioned to capture the panoramic countryside views. Two further lower tiers feature mature planting and lawned areas, creating a wonderful outdoor retreat. To the front, a well-kept lawn, ample driveway parking, and a double garage enhance the home's kerb appeal and convenience.

- 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).
