Ideally located within walking distance of Buxton town centre, this attractive two-bedroom mid-terraced property offers accommodation over four floors, including two double bedrooms, spacious shower room, and useful cellar.

Denise White Estate Agents Comments - Situated in a central and convenient location, within walking distance of Buxton town centre and a wide range of local amenities, this attractive two-bedroom mid-terraced property offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over four floors.
The entrance porch leads into the welcoming living room, which in turn provides access to the kitchen. To the first floor is a spacious shower room and a double bedroom, while the second floor benefits from a large double bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe area and useful eaves storage.
There is also excellent potential for further adaptation, with neighbouring properties on the street having converted the second floor to provide either two bedrooms or a double bedroom with en-suite facilities, subject to any necessary permissions.
The lower ground floor features a cellar, providing valuable additional storage space.
Externally, the property benefits from yard areas to both the front and rear, providing useful outdoor space.
Ideally suited to first-time buyers, investors and those seeking a well-located home.

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).
