From the outset, the property impresses with its generous plot and attractive frontage. A large driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The exterior reflects modern design principles, with clean lines and contemporary materials lending a timeless elegance to the property.
Stepping through the front door, the spacious entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the home, with high-quality luxury flooring running throughout the ground floor. To one side, a bright and inviting bay-fronted living room enjoys a dual aspect, making it a versatile space that can easily accommodate both relaxation and entertaining. The proportions are perfect for families, with enough room to configure seating and media areas to suit your preferences.
For those needing a quiet retreat or working from home, the office/snug provides a flexible area that could also function as a playroom or hobby space. The open-plan family dining kitchen, however, is where this home truly shines. Designed to be the heart of the home, it features a range of premium wall, base, and tower units complemented by integrated appliances and luxurious work-surfaces. A breakfast bar adds an informal dining option, while the adjoining dining area is spacious enough for larger gatherings. Modern patio doors open out to the rear garden, seamlessly linking indoor and outdoor spaces, with a cosy additional living area extending from the dining space, ideal for informal seating.
A handy utility room provides practical storage and keeps the kitchen area clutter-free, while the ground floor WC ensures convenience for both family members and guests.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with four well-proportioned bedrooms, all finished to an impeccable standard. The main bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, offering a touch of luxury and privacy. The remaining three bedrooms are versatile and can cater to various needs, whether as children’s rooms, guest accommodations, or additional office space. A beautifully finished family bathroom serves the rest of the floor, featuring a modern suite and tasteful fittings.
The rear garden is a true asset to the property, offering an expansive lawn that has been professionally turfed and bordered with a spacious patio terrace. This outdoor area is perfect for hosting barbecues, playing with children, or simply enjoying a quiet moment surrounded by the greenery. The size of the plot ensures plenty of room to customise the garden to suit your lifestyle, whether you dream of creating a play area, adding raised flower beds, or establishing a seating area for evening gatherings.

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).
