Description
This is a house that understands modern life, space where you need it, comfort where you want it, and a layout that just makes sense from the moment you step inside.
Set behind a neat front lawn with driveway parking, a covered car port and a reassuring sense of space from the outset, this four bedroom detached home offers a layout that feels both practical and inviting, with plenty of thoughtful touches throughout and a garden designed for real, everyday enjoyment.
The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hallway where the staircase rises to the first floor. From here, the layout flows nicely, with a modern tiled guest WC tucked neatly to one side, a dedicated office room to the right that works perfectly for home working or study, and the main living room straight ahead.
The living room is a generous, comfortable space with a lovely sense of openness. A clever recessed area beneath the stairs creates a natural spot for cabinetry, artwork or family photographs, while a separate understairs cupboard still provides valuable hidden storage.
A door from the lounge leads through to the kitchen and dining space. The dining area sits closest to the garden, filled with light and opening out through double French doors, making it an easy space for everyday meals or entertaining. The kitchen wraps around from here and is beautifully presented with a statement Cookmaster range featuring a five burner hob, twin ovens and grill. Integrated dishwasher, space for a freestanding fridge freezer, neutral finishes, wood flooring, tiled sides and handy USB plug points complete a kitchen that is both stylish and functional.
Outside, the garden has been carefully arranged to create distinct zones. A decked seating area leads onto a lawn bordered by sleeper built raised beds, which continue around the rear and side of the garden. To one side, an area of astroturf and paving sits neatly beside the garage, separated from the lawn by sleepers, while a pebbled section to the rear adds another low maintenance feature. The garden enjoys a good level of privacy and includes gated side access leading back to the front of the property.
The single garage is more than just storage, fitted with a sink, plumbing and space for both a washing machine and dryer, as well as housing the boiler.
Upstairs, the first floor offers four well proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is the largest and includes built-in wardrobe space. Two further double bedrooms also benefit from built-in wardrobes, while the fourth bedroom is a particularly generous single overlooking the garden, again with fitted storage. A nicely presented family bathroom completes the accommodation, fitted with a shower over the bath and finished in a clean, neutral style.
Altogether, this is a home that balances space, flexibility and comfort, offering rooms that adapt easily to family life while still feeling well considered and easy to live in.

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).
