Description
Offering a thoughtfully arranged layout across two floors, this attractive two-bedroom home combines generous living spaces with practical day-to-day functionality. Every room has been designed to maximise space, natural light and versatility, creating a property that feels both welcoming and easy to live in.
Stepping through the front door, you are immediately welcomed into a spacious and inviting living room that forms the heart of the home. The room's impressive proportions provide exceptional flexibility for a variety of furniture arrangements, easily accommodating large sofas, occasional seating, media units and storage without feeling crowded.
A large front-facing window floods the room with natural light throughout the day, enhancing the sense of space and creating a bright, airy atmosphere. The room offers an ideal setting for both relaxed evenings and entertaining guests, with ample floor space for families, professionals or those who simply appreciate generous living accommodation.
The staircase is neatly positioned to one side, allowing the room to maintain an excellent flow while adding character and definition to the space. Whether used as a cosy retreat or a stylish entertaining area, this reception room offers an outstanding first impression.
Positioned at the rear of the property, the kitchen/dining room is a practical and sociable space designed for modern living. The layout maximises both workspace and storage, with fitted units arranged to create an efficient cooking environment while maintaining an open and uncluttered feel.
Natural light from the rear window enhances the room's bright and welcoming atmosphere, while the separation from the living room provides distinct spaces for entertaining and everyday living
The central landing provides access to all first-floor accommodation and contributes to the home's practical layout. The arrangement creates good separation between the bedrooms while ensuring every room feels easily accessible and connected.
Occupying the front of the first floor, the principal bedroom is a generously sized double room offering a peaceful and comfortable retreat. The room easily accommodates a double or king-size bed while still leaving ample space for wardrobes, bedside furniture and additional storage solutions.
Its attractive proportions provide flexibility for homeowners wishing to create a stylish principal suite, while the large window allows natural light to fill the room, enhancing its bright and relaxing ambience.
The room's shape and dimensions make it particularly easy to furnish, offering practical living without compromising on comfort.
A particularly versatile second bedroom, this well-proportioned room is larger than many comparable second bedrooms found in similar properties. It can comfortably accommodate a single or small double bed and is equally suited as a guest bedroom, nursery, children's room or dedicated home office.
The room benefits from a pleasant rear aspect and offers excellent flexibility for changing lifestyle requirements, making it especially appealing to first-time buyers, young families and remote workers alike.
Serving both bedrooms, the family bathroom is conveniently positioned on the first floor and offers a practical layout incorporating a full-sized bath, wash basin and WC.
The room provides everything required for modern family living and offers scope for future cosmetic enhancement should a purchaser wish to personalise the space. The inclusion of a full bath is particularly appealing for families with young children as well as those who appreciate the option of a relaxing soak at the end of the day.

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).
