Description
Accessed via private electric gates, the property opens into a shared courtyard with ample parking. The former barns have been sympathetically converted to provide a double garage with workshop space and stairs leading to an annex with potential to update to self-contained studio bed sit, ideal for families with older children, visiting guests, or those requiring dedicated work-from-home space.
The farmhouse itself is traditionally constructed of brick with black-and-white elevations with exposed internal beams, all set beneath a slate roof, and has evolved over centuries into a fine family residence. The accommodation includes a welcoming entrance hall with cloakroom and W.C., a generous living room with open fireplace and French doors to the garden, spacious dining room, and a fully fitted study. The breakfast kitchen, centred around an Aga and supplemented by a conventional cooker, is complemented by a utility room. Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a sizeable en-suite to the principal bedroom.

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).
