Description
A beautifully presented 2-bed mid-terraced home in popular Watchfield. Features include a cosy lounge with log burner, spacious kitchen/diner, utility area, downstairs WC, two large bedrooms (one with potential to split), family bathroom, enclosed garden, and parking for two cars.
DESCRIPTION
A beautifully presented two-bedroom mid-terraced home, ideally located in the sought-after village of Watchfield.
This deceptively spacious property offers a fantastic layout and is ideal for first-time buyers, young families, or those looking to downsize without compromising on space.
As you enter, you are welcomed by a bright entrance hall leading to a cosy front-facing living room complete with a charming log burner - perfect for those colder evenings. To the rear, the home opens up into a generous open-plan kitchen/dining area, ideal for entertaining or family meals. An archway leads seamlessly into a useful utility area and a convenient downstairs cloakroom.
Upstairs, you'll find two very well-proportioned double bedrooms. The larger of the two offers potential to be reconfigured into two separate rooms, creating a three-bedroom home if desired. The family bathroom is complemented by a separate WC for added practicality.
Outside, the property boasts a good-sized enclosed rear garden - a safe and private space for children to play or for summer entertaining. To the front, there is driveway parking for two vehicles.
Located in the heart of Watchfield, this home offers the perfect blend of village charm and modern living. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the space and presentation on offer.

- 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).
