Description

Dewhurst Homes are delighted to present this stunning fully refurbished three-bedroom semi-detached home, finished to an exceptional standard throughout and offering truly turnkey accommodation. Beautifully presented both inside and out, this outstanding property is certain to attract significant interest and is not expected to remain on the market for long.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully modernised to create a stylish and contemporary family home. Upon entering, you are welcomed into a striking open-plan kitchen and dining room, finished with luxurious marble-effect porcelain tiling that flows throughout the entire ground floor. The modern fitted kitchen offers a range of quality units and integrated appliances, including a fridge freezer and dishwasher, whilst a stylish breakfast bar with seating provides the perfect space for casual dining and entertaining.

A particular highlight of the property is the spacious utility room, which benefits from access to both the front and rear gardens. Offering excellent versatility, this impressive space could easily be utilised as an additional dining area, family room or home office depending on individual requirements. The property has also benefited from the installation of a new boiler, providing peace of mind for prospective purchasers.

The beautifully decorated lounge is both stylish and welcoming, featuring an impressive media wall which creates a stunning focal point. Patio doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing natural light to flood the room and creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom and second bedroom are both generous doubles and benefit from fitted wardrobes incorporating enclosed televisions for a sleek and modern finish. The third bedroom is an excellent-sized single room, ideal as a childs bedroom, guest room or home office. Additional loft space provides valuable storage.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The rear garden enjoys a high degree of privacy and is not overlooked, creating the perfect environment for relaxation and entertaining. Recently landscaped, it features a newly laid lawn, porcelain tiled patio areas and an outside tap for convenience.

To the front, the property boasts a newly laid lawn alongside a porcelain tiled driveway, complete with gates providing secure off-road parking and enhancing the propertys attractive kerb appeal.

This exceptional home is a true credit to the current owners, who have transformed it into a stylish and contemporary property finished to an outstanding standard throughout. Early viewing is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment and to fully appreciate everything this beautiful home has to offer.Disclaimer:

  • 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.
