Description
Stepping into the hallway, you are welcomed by a well planned ground floor layout that balances open plan living with cosy, comfortable spaces. To the left sits the impressive dual aspect lounge, a bright, inviting room perfect for relaxing evenings, movie nights or quiet weekends with the family. The natural light and generous proportions create an easy sense of warmth that immediately makes you feel at home.
To the right of the ground floor is the heart of the property: an open plan kitchen and dining area designed with modern living in mind. The kitchen is fitted with a Silestone worktop. This fantastic social space is ideal for everyday family meals, entertaining guests or keeping an eye on children while cooking. French doors lead directly out to the garden, allowing you to extend your living space outdoors during the warmer months. A convenient downstairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation. The property benefits from Parquet Flooring that extends from the hall into the kitchen, downstairs toilet and under-stair storage area.
Upstairs, the thoughtful layout continues. The main bedroom benefits from a luxurious en suite shower room, offering a private retreat at the end of a long day. The second bedroom is a comfortable double, while the third bedroom is a versatile single that would make an ideal home office, nursery or creative hobbies room depending on your needs. A modern family bathroom serves the additional bedrooms.
Outside, the property benefits from a good sized garden positioned to the side of the house, offering plenty of space for outdoor dining, children’s play equipment, or simply enjoying the sunshine in a private setting.
With its detached position, excellent condition throughout, flexible living spaces and outstanding practicality, this modern family home offers exceptional value and convenience in a sought-after location. An ideal choice for those wanting style, comfort and efficiency in equal measure.
Please note that the blinds and curtains are available via separate negotiation.

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).
