Continue inside the home, where you’ll discover a generously sized living room, complemented by a bright bay window and glazed French doors that flood the room with natural light. An electric fire makes this room cosy, but tucked behind is a log burner.
The heart of this home is an open-plan kitchen/living/dining space offering a sleek kitchen with shaker-style base and overhead cabinetry, an integrated fridge/freezer, double oven, microwave, dishwasher, wine cooler, and a five-burner gas hob. A floor-to-ceiling picture window overlooks the rear garden, perfectly blending the indoors and outdoors. Off the kitchen you’ll find a convenient utility room, and completing the ground floor is a handy W/C and storage cupboard.
Upstairs the master suite awaits with its own dressing area and ensuite shower room. You’ll also discover three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom boasting a free-standing double-ended bath and a walk-in rainfall shower.
Externally, a South-West facing garden provides a home for all things entertaining. Perfectly designed for low-maintenance upkeep, this garden offers gravelled and patio seating space, along with a wraparound verandah and separate garden-kitchen to ensure you never have to cancel family BBQs.

- 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).
