Description
The ground floor features a bright and welcoming living area, a modern fitted kitchen, and a newly fitted downstairs bathroom complete with a full-sized bath. Upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms, a comfortable single bedroom, and a separate WC. The property has been redecorated throughout and benefits from a number of recent improvements including new windows, new front and rear doors, new fencing and gate, and a new boiler installed in 2021.
One of the standout features of this home is the generous driveway, which can comfortably accommodate three or more vehicles — a rare find in this area. To the rear, there is a good-sized garden offering excellent outdoor space, along with a detached single garage providing further storage or parking options.
Ideally situated close to local amenities, schools, and transport links, this is a fantastic opportunity for families, first-time buyers, or anyone seeking a ready-to-move-into property in a desirable location.
Early viewing is highly recommended.

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).
