Description
Perfectly located close to local amenities and transport links, this property gives everything a growing family would need. Spacious both internally and externally, the property has been beautifully finished and is move-in ready.
You enter the property via an entrance porch, which gives access to the downstairs WC and family lounge. The lounge has been beautifully decorated and is presented well, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. As you move from the lounge, you head into the open-plan kitchen/dining room. This area is the heart of the home and really gives a great space for all the family to use and enjoy. The kitchen itself is of modern design and has everything you need in place. The dining area has space for a large table and is great for the family to spend time together in. The space also has the benefit of French doors, which give easy access to the rear garden but also fill the room with natural light.
As you head upstairs, you are greeted by four bedrooms. The first, the master, is a great size and has the added benefit of a modern ensuite. Bedrooms two and three are double in size, and finally you have the fourth, which is single in size and would make the perfect nursery or office space. Finally upstairs, you have the family three-piece bathroom suite.
To the rear of the property you have an extensive landscaped garden, which again is perfect for the family to use or to entertain in with a laid-to-lawn garden along with an extended patio space.
At the front of the property, you have a private driveway leading to the integral garage.

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).
