Description
To the ground floor, one is greeted immediately by a side entrance porch with inner hallway and cloakroom leading off. From the inner hallway, you will find stairs to the first floor and two reception rooms to the front of the house. Both enjoy feature fireplaces and views over the front garden. Back into the hallway, you will find an additional doorway, which opens out into the third reception room - the spacious dining room. This open plan lifestyle room is a social space, with a striking triple aspect rear elevation with views over the garden. Adjoining this room is the kitchen, complete with shaker style cabinets and inset utility cupboard. The kitchen itself is well equipped with a built in sink, hob and oven. Access to the rear garden is also provided from this room. The first floor is home to three large double bedrooms, with the master bedroom boasting an en-suite shower room. The remaining two bedrooms are served by the nearby family bathroom. Of particular note is the charming landing window seat - offering framed views of Dunwich Road and the North Sea beyond.
Outside, the property sits proudly in a mature plot extending to approximately 0.10ac. To the front is a brick weave driveway, offering extensive off road parking - a rarity in this location. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn with mature planting to the borders. At the rear of the house, the brick weave continues and provides an extensive dining terrace with well stocked flower beds surrounding. At the edge of the garden is a garage measuring approx. 2.72m x 5.43m. Access to this garage is via right of way from Cumberland Road.

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).
