Occupying a convenient residential position, this well-presented mid-terraced home offers spacious and surprisingly versatile accommodation throughout and is perfectly suited to first-time buyers, investors or those looking to downsize without compromising on living space.
The property is entered via a welcoming front door into a bright and spacious living room, where a feature fireplace provides an attractive focal point and creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Continuing through the property, an understairs storage cupboard provides useful everyday practicality before opening into a contemporary kitchen/diner fitted with a range of shaker-style wall and base units, complementary work surfaces, integrated cooking appliances and space for freestanding white goods. The kitchen offers ample room for dining and entertaining, making it a sociable hub of the home. Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility area providing additional storage and laundry space together with direct access to the rear courtyard. Completing the ground floor is a generously sized family bathroom fitted with a panel bath incorporating shower facilities, wash hand basin and WC.
To the first floor, the property continues to impress with two exceptionally well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear courtyard and benefits from a useful built-in floor-to-ceiling storage cupboard. The second bedroom is another generous double room positioned to the front elevation, offering excellent flexibility as a guest room, home office or principal bedroom.
Outside, the enclosed rear courtyard has been designed for low maintenance living and provides an attractive space for outdoor seating, entertaining and container planting. A useful brick-built outbuilding offers additional storage for bicycles, gardening equipment or household items.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- This street — Gross yield for this street only (Land Registry sales + rental comparables, same postcode + street).
- 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).
