Description
PLEASE REFER TO OUR FLOORPLAN FOR ROOM MEASUREMENTS.
Although the apartment requires complete modernisation throughout, it offers huge potential, generous proportions, and the rare advantage of a private balcony and a garage.
A particular feature of this apartment is the superb open plan lounge/dining area, a generous space filled with natural light thanks to its dual aspect windows. The room offers excellent versatility for both living and dining, with a pleasant treelined outlook.
The fitted kitchen sits just off the living space and includes a range of units with room for appliances, plus a window enjoying the same attractive outlook.
Both bedrooms are excellent double rooms, each benefiting from fitted wardrobes, a pleasant view, and direct access to the balcony. Bedroom one mirrors bedroom two in size and layout.
The bathroom is a good size and would now benefit from refurbishment, offering scope to modernise to personal taste.
Offered with no forward chain.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- This street — Gross yield for this street only (Land Registry sales + rental comparables, same postcode + street).
- 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).
