About the property.

Built in 2016, Number 22 is a well-designed detached home in a peaceful setting with views to the hills beyond. The beautifully maintained communal garden is complimented by a summer house, lush lawns, and vibrant flower beds.

Inside, the property boasts a spacious open-plan living area that can be easily adapted to create a third bedroom on the ground floor if desired. French doors lead out to a private, south-facing garden, perfect for outdoor relaxation.

Additional features include a large single garage, private driveway parking, and ample visitor spaces.

About the inside.

A bright and spacious entrance hall welcomes you, featuring a wide staircase to the first floor. To the left, a glazed door opens into a generous, dual-aspect kitchen/dining/living area. The kitchen boasts a range of built-in Neff appliances, including a dishwasher, washer/dryer and an induction hob set into sleek granite countertops. The living area flows seamlessly onto the rear garden through French doors, while an archway leads into the dining room, which could easily be converted into a third bedroom if desired. A spacious shower room off the hallway completes the ground floor layout.

Upstairs, the landing is bathed in natural light from two Velux windows. There are two substantial double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom offering deep built-in wardrobes and access to a separate dressing room, ideal for use as a study, hobby room, or even a small bedroom. The large, fully tiled Jack-and-Jill bathroom is equipped with both a separate shower and a panelled bath, providing a luxurious retreat.

This beautifully designed, gated, development of just 10 properties, features an attractively paved private road that encircles the central garden which is for the exclusive use of all the homeowners. The property itself boasts a private front garden, enclosed by a mature hedge, offering privacy and curb appeal. To the rear, you'll find a spacious south-facing garden, mainly laid to lawn, which enjoys lovely views over the neighbouring village playing fields. Garden maintenance is conveniently included in the service charges, ensuring easy upkeep year-round.

  • 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.
