Description
The accommodation begins with an entrance porch, providing a practical welcome into the home before leading through to the lounge. This bright and comfortable reception room offers a lovely place to relax, with a feature fireplace creating a central focal point and a front-facing window allowing natural light into the space. The lounge flows through towards the rear of the property, where the kitchen diner forms the heart of the home.
The kitchen diner has been fitted with a brand new kitchen and appliances, giving the property a fresh, modern finish. There is a smart range of fitted units, work surfaces and integrated cooking appliances, along with space for dining, making this an ideal area for family meals, entertaining guests or everyday use. The layout works well, with the dining space connecting naturally back towards the lounge, creating a sociable feel across the ground floor.
To the first floor, the landing provides access to three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom one is a comfortable main bedroom and benefits from its own ensuite shower room, adding a practical and sought-after feature. The two remaining double bedrooms offer flexible space and could be used as children’s rooms, guest bedrooms, a dressing room or home office, depending on the buyer’s needs. The family bathroom has been finished in a modern style, complete with a bath and shower over, creating a clean and contemporary space.
Externally, the property has an attractive frontage with a block paved driveway providing off-road parking and access to the integral garage. The detached design, cul-de-sac setting and side access all add to the appeal, giving the home a quiet and tucked-away feel while still being conveniently placed for local amenities and commuter links. With its brand new kitchen and appliances, modern bathroom, ensuite shower room, three double bedrooms and well-presented accommodation throughout, this is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a ready-to-enjoy home in the popular Waterhayes area.

- 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).
