Description
Upon entering the property through the original 1930s stained glass entrance door with brick-built porch, you are greeted with a large hall laid with beautiful original 1930s floor tiles. Internal doors lead into the lounge, kitchen and open plan lounge/dining room, with a staircase rising to the first floor and that all important downstairs WC. The lounge, situated at the front of the property, oozes character and features parquet flooring, a large walk-in bay window and picture rails. The sitting room/dining room also features parquet flooring and a serving hatch to the kitchen making it feel very open. French doors from here lead you to the garden. The spacious kitchen is fitted with a vast arrangement of white shaker-style wall and base units complete with wooden work surfaces. Integrated appliances make for a seamless finish. There is access to the driveway here and the utility room which has space for the washing machine, dryer, sink and access to the rear garden.
Moving to the first floor, the landing has doors leading to the four generous-sized bedrooms thanks to the double story extension, the family bathroom and the separate shower room with wash basin. The family bathroom is huge with a double walk-in shower, WC and wash basin.
Outside, to the front of the property, the driveway offers ample parking. The rear garden offers a lovely private aspect with a large decking area, a paved patio seating area and manicured lawn, perfect for entertaining. A great family home in every sense!

- 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).
