## Description

A detached family home requiring modernisation, standing in a fabulous level garden of approximately 3/4 of an acre with views across the Misbourne Valley.

This represents a wonderful opportunity with tremendous scope to either reconfigure and extend the existing accommodation to create a great family home, or completely redevelop the site as it is one of the last properties in the road of a modest size (subject to the necessary approvals). The property currently offers three principal reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and a utility room. On the first floor there is a master bedroom suite with bathroom and dressing room. There are four additional bedrooms and a family bathroom. 

OUTSIDE

The property is approached through wrought iron gates via a sweeping driveway bordered by well tendered lawns and mature borders. In front of the house there is plenty of parking and access to the large single garage.

The rear garden is outstanding with a paved terrace leading to a wide expanse of mature lawn bordered interspersed with mature trees, shrubs and well stocked flower beds. 

 

LOCATION

Mill Lane is a much admired tree lined road on the periphery of this popular village Buckinghamshire village. Chalfont St Giles has pretty high street with an eclectic mix of shops which service day to day needs. Mainline stations can be found at nearby Seer Green and Chalfont & Latimer.

## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 0.25% (weak for cashflow)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £437,500
- **Target investor price (1%):** £350,000

- **Monthly cashflow:** £-2,388/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** -7.1%

*Gross yield = annual rent as % of price (no costs). Cost-to-rent = price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables); under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed. Cashflow = rent − 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).*
