Description
THE PROPERTY
The front door opens to the entrance porch, leading to the well sized lounge, with a multifuel burner giving this room a cosy feel. Heading towards the rear of the property, you come to the kitchen/diner which features ample storage space, and a breakfast bar ideal for family dining. This is supported by a separate utility space, alongside the converted garage which is now a fantastic home office, perfect for those working from home.
Completing the downstairs accommodation is the three piece family bathroom suite.
Up on the first floor are three well proportioned bedrooms off the landing.
OUTSIDE
The property is set back behind a generous driveway, providing off road parking for several cars.
To the rear is a well sized, enclosed garden which is mainly lawned, with a decked area lending itself to summer entertaining.
THE LOCATION
Located in a hugely popular suburb of Norwich with a wealth of local amenities and school as well as excellent transport links. Norwich city centre is just a short bike ride or drive away.
Few cities compliment the wonderful fusion of modern and historic as beguilingly as Norwich; with its flourishing art, music, and cultural scene, an eclectic choice of bars and restaurants to tantalize the tastebuds, and its many theatres & cinemas, all offering a wide range of entertainment. And for the more energetic, a gym, swimming pool, and bowling alley are but a stone’s throw away.
Taking in views of the river, and the beautiful Cathedral and grounds, the bustling Norwich city centre is just a short walk away, with its vibrant market at the heart, surrounded by department stores, shopping malls, and scores of independent and boutique shops to explore. No wonder the city is regularly cited as one of the top UK destinations for shopping.

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).
