Description

Guide price £650,000 - £665,000. This amazing property has been thoughtfully extended to create a spacious family home. It sits on a plot of approximately 0.73 acres and subject to gaining the necessary planning permission, could provide an excellent development opportunity. The main living room is to the front of the property and offers stunning countryside views and superb sunsets from its large bay window. The formal dining room leads off the living room; it is a good size and a thoroughfare to the kitchen / breakfast room that provides a great space for entertaining. The kitchen is modern with integrated appliances including a Beko double oven with microwave above, AEG five ring gas hob with extractor hood over, dish washer and fridge freezer. The floor is fully tiled throughout and the one and a half ceramic sink is set in front of the window overlooking the garden. A handy utility room leads off from the kitchen area where there is separate WC, a further butler sink and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. You can access outside via a good size garden room that is great for muddy boots and can provide extra storage. The master bedroom is on the ground floor and has fitted wardrobes along one wall, double doors out to the garden and an en suite. There are two further double bedrooms downstairs, one with a separate en suite shower and WC and there is also a good size study across the hallway. The main bathroom is large, fresh and modern and has the added decadence of a free standing bath. It also has a separate shower cubicle and basin with a vintage style vanity unit. Upstairs are three double bedrooms all very light and airy with dual aspect windows and there is also a large recess area on the landing where the current owners have set it up as a games area with room for a chunky corner sofa.

  • 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).
