Description
Choose a place that feels like home
A new Bellway home's waiting for you. You can almost hear the pitter patter of paws on the new flooring, the music blaring from the not-so-little-one's bedroom, the smell of home-cooked food drifting through from the personalised kitchen. It's time to bring your new Bellway home to life. Selected plots across our developments are offering huge savings* - get in touch with our team to find out more.
*All incentives are valid on selected plots only, while stocks last, subject to availability, and applicable on new reservations only.

About the Home
With its appealing bay window, The Chandler is a 3-bedroom home that makes an instant impact. Look inside and you will find a carefully-planned family home with the focus on bringing everyone together, whilst also providing privacy where it’s needed most.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area is the key feature of The Chandler, with an attractive U-shaped layout and plenty of space for a dining table to seat everyone. French doors from the dining area open onto the rear garden, providing delightful views and also making it easy to keep an eye on little ones playing outside.
The separate living room is situated at the front of the home, and feels pleasantly bright thanks to its bay window. The ground floor is completed by an understairs storage cupboard, and a cloakroom usefully located by the front door.
Upstairs, bedroom 1 benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. Bedroom 3 is optimally sized for a nursery or occasional guest room; alternatively, it would make the ideal home office or hobby room. There are also two convenient storage cupboards on the first floor, accessed from the landing.

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).
