Welcome to this stunning three bedroom semi detached house, situated in an exclusive development and offering the best of both town and country living. This Bellway Homes ‘The Fletcher’ design is beautifully presented throughout, featuring a spacious open-plan living area that is flooded with natural light thanks to large windows and clever layout.. The contemporary decor and stylish flooring create a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you step inside. The ground floor provides plenty of space for relaxing or entertaining, while the modern kitchen is perfect for keen cooks. Upstairs, you’ll find three generous double bedrooms and two sleek bathrooms, including a fabulous master suite that occupies the entire top floor. The master suite is a true retreat, boasting a large dressing room and its own en-suite, making mornings and evenings a real pleasure. With countryside views from many windows, you’ll love waking up to the peaceful outlook every day. The location is ideal for families or professionals, with schools, shops, and commuter links all close by, while the surrounding countryside is perfect for weekend walks and exploring.

The detached garage (with driveway parking for several cars) provides practical storage and convenience, whether you need space for bikes, gardening tools, or simply want to keep your car secure. The front garden is attractively landscaped, adding to the home’s kerb appeal and welcoming feel. Thanks to the development’s position on the edge of town, you can enjoy peaceful surroundings and those fabulous countryside views, yet still be within easy reach of everything you need. Whether you’re looking to entertain friends, let the kids run around, or just soak up some sunshine, the outside space here offers plenty of options.

Rent-driven metrics

Based on OpenRent comparables.

Rent ratio 0.52%
Max investor price (0.8%) £186,875
Target investor price (1%) £149,500
Gross yield 6.2%
Cost-to-rent ratio 16.2×
Monthly cashflow £178/mo 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term
Cash-on-cash ROI 2.5%
  • 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).
