Description
Approaching the property, the impressive scale is immediately apparent. A large dual entrance driveway sweeps across the frontage and provides ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, while the attractive bay-fronted elevation creates a wonderful first impression. With generous garaging, established surroundings and an expansive plot, the property offers both practicality and considerable potential from the moment you arrive.
Stepping inside, the entrance hallway provides a welcoming introduction to the spacious accommodation, with stairs rising to the first floor and access flowing naturally into the principal ground-floor rooms. The property offers two separate reception rooms, providing excellent flexibility for growing families and those requiring additional entertaining or home-working space.
The main living room is particularly generous in size and enjoys lovely views over the rear garden, with plenty of natural light and ample space for a variety of furniture arrangements. The existing fireplace provides a natural focal point, while the proportions of the room offer exciting scope to create a superb contemporary family living space.
To the front of the property, the separate dining room features an attractive bay window and provides another generous reception area. Equally suited to use as a formal dining room, family room, additional sitting room or home office, it highlights the flexibility available throughout this substantial home.
The kitchen overlooks the garden and provides a good range of fitted storage and preparation space, with excellent potential for future updating or reconfiguration. A particularly useful feature is the large walk-in pantry, providing excellent additional storage, while the adjoining utility area adds further practicality. A convenient downstairs WC completes this part of the accommodation.
A particularly appealing feature is the substantial garage and workshop accommodation, offering an exceptional amount of space for vehicles, storage, hobbies or workshop use. The workshop and/or second garage also benefits from a mezzanine floor, providing valuable additional storage and usable space. Together, these areas offer exciting potential for conversion, extension or incorporation into the main living accommodation, subject to obtaining the relevant planning permissions and building regulations.
Moving upstairs, the generous landing leads to three excellent double bedrooms, all benefiting from the spacious proportions found throughout the home. Built-in wardrobes and storage provide plenty of practical space, while the attractive bay-fronted bedrooms offer character and an abundance of natural light. The first floor also benefits from additional loft storage, providing further valuable space.
The family bathroom is arranged in a practical Jack and Jill style and features a four-piece suite, offering excellent scope for modernisation while retaining a layout well suited to family living.
The rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features. Exceptionally private and beautifully established, it extends across a substantial plot with mature trees, shrubs, planted borders and lawned areas creating a wonderfully peaceful setting. Meandering pathways lead through different sections of the garden, offering numerous places to sit, entertain or simply enjoy the surroundings. The size and maturity of the garden are increasingly difficult to find and provide a fantastic opportunity for keen gardeners and families alike.
Situated in the much sought-after May Bank area, The Crossway is well positioned for local schools, everyday amenities and convenient transport connections. Combining generous room sizes, two reception rooms, a large walk-in pantry, extensive parking, substantial garaging and workshop space with mezzanine storage, beautiful private gardens and enormous potential to create a superb long-term family home, this impressive three bedroom detached residence is a genuinely exciting opportunity.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, viewing at the earliest opportunity is highly advised to fully appreciate the scale, setting and potential this wonderful family home has to offer.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- This street — Gross yield for this street only (Land Registry sales + rental comparables, same postcode + street).
- 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).
