Description
The ground floor has been thoughtfully arranged to create a superb open-plan living environment that is perfect for modern lifestyles. The lounge enjoys a bright double glazed bay fronted window that allows natural light to flood the space, complemented by stylish laminate wood flooring and a radiator. Flowing seamlessly from the lounge is the open plan dining room, which features double glazed patio doors that open directly onto the garden, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor connection for entertaining or relaxing. The open plan kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base cupboard units alongside practical work surfaces, a sink and drainer, electric hob, built-under oven and cooker hood, finished with a tiled splashback and laminate wood flooring. There is also space for a washing machine and fridge freezer, while a convenient ground floor WC includes a low level WC, vanity hand wash basin, radiator and double glazed window.
Upstairs, the first floor landing provides access to the loft and leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, each benefiting from double glazed windows and radiators, offering comfortable accommodation for families or those needing additional workspace or guest rooms. The bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower over, low level WC and wash basin, complemented by part tiled walls, a double glazed window and a chrome towel warming radiator for added comfort. Externally, the property continues to impress with a neatly arranged front garden featuring pebbled and paved areas, while the substantial rear garden offers a fantastic outdoor space with gated access to a paved patio area, decorative beds, pebbled sections and a generous lawn, creating the perfect setting for outdoor dining, family activities and summer relaxation.

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).
