Description
Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hallway provides the perfect space for greeting guests and offers practical coat and shoe storage. To the front of the property is the bright and spacious family lounge, enhanced by a large bay window overlooking the front garden and allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the room. Also positioned to the front is the second bedroom, a generous double room which benefits from its own bay window, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.
Continuing through the property, the kitchen is a fantastic size and exudes a charming cottage feel, with views over the rear garden. Leading off the kitchen is a cosy snug/sun room with French doors opening onto the garden, providing a peaceful retreat and the perfect spot to enjoy an early morning coffee or unwind whilst watching the evening sunset. This room also provides internal access to the single garage, which benefits from power and lighting.
The ground floor accommodation is completed by a modern family bathroom and a versatile dining room. Stairs rise from the dining room to the first floor, whilst cleverly designed under-stairs storage has been tastefully incorporated to maximise space.
To the first floor, a small landing leads to the impressive principal bedroom. This spacious retreat enjoys views over the rear garden and benefits from its own en-suite shower room. Beyond the bedroom is a dedicated dressing room, offering excellent additional storage and enhancing the luxurious feel of the space.
Outside, the rear garden is undoubtedly a real showstopper. Larger than average and wonderfully private, the current owners have created a beautifully maintained, low-maintenance outdoor space which is not overlooked. There is convenient access to the front of the property from both sides of the house, adding to the practicality of this fantastic home.
Beautifully presented and exceptionally well maintained throughout, this unique detached dormer bungalow is ready for its new owners to move straight in and add their own personal touch. Offering deceptive accommodation, versatile living spaces and a stunning garden, this is a property that simply must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

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).
