Description
The property sits behind a neatly kept front lawn, with a tarmac driveway providing off-road parking and leading to the integral double garage. Attractive rendered and brick elevations, twin bay windows and a smart black front door give the home real kerb appeal.
Stepping inside, the entrance hall leads to the principal ground-floor rooms and the staircase to the first floor. To the front, the office is a bright and practical room with a bay window, ideal for working from home. A ground-floor WC, also with a bay window, sits alongside, while a separate shower room, fitted with a shower enclosure, pedestal basin, WC, heated towel rail and tiled walls, adds everyday convenience.
The living room is a real highlight of the home. Finished in soft sage tones with herringbone wood flooring, it centres around an exposed-brick fireplace with an oak beam mantel and a log burner, creating a wonderfully cosy focal point. French doors with glazed side panels open directly onto the rear garden, filling the room with natural light.
The sitting room offers a further, more relaxed reception space overlooking the rear, with wood flooring and plenty of room for sofas, ideal as a snug, playroom or TV room. Positioned next to the ground-floor shower room, it would also lend itself well to use as a guest bedroom if required.
The kitchen/diner stretches the full depth of the house and is the true heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cream shaker-style units, including tall larder cupboards, topped with dark granite-effect worktops and complemented by a metro-tiled splashback. A range cooker with gas hob sits beneath a black chimney extractor hood, with a sink positioned under the window to the front, recessed spotlights overhead and tiled flooring throughout. The dining area comfortably takes a family table and a sofa, with bespoke fitted cabinetry providing a sideboard, storage and display shelving, and bi-fold doors opening straight onto the patio, making this a superb space for everyday living and entertaining. A door leads from here into the integral double garage.
Upstairs, the landing, brightened by two windows to the front, leads to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is a spacious double overlooking the rear garden, with wood flooring, characterful sloping ceilings and fitted mirrored wardrobes. It has its own ensuite, fitted with a panelled bath with shower over, a pedestal basin, WC and vanity unit, finished with contemporary tiling.
Bedroom two is a further generous double, also with fitted mirrored wardrobes and wood flooring, and a window framing leafy views. Bedroom three is another well-proportioned double, currently set up as a child's bedroom, and would equally suit a guest room or home office. The family bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath with shower over, a pedestal basin and WC, with grey tiled walls and a window.
Outside, the rear garden is a real credit to the current owners and enjoys a wonderfully private, leafy setting with a backdrop of mature trees. A large porcelain-paved patio adjoins the house, providing plenty of room for outdoor dining and lounge seating, with raised rendered planters filled with hydrangeas adding a contemporary touch. A generous lawn stretches beyond, bordered by established planting and enclosed by fencing, with plenty of space for children to play.

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).
