Description
Entering through the front door you'll be greeted by a small entrance hall, the stairwell is immediately in front of you as well as access to the living room. The living room itself is a great size, it holds enough space for a corner settee, a useful under-stairs storage cupboard & offers the perfect place to relax after a long day. Arguably the hub of the home comes in the shape of the kitchen diner, spanning the width of the house it's a great space for enjoying a sit-down meal. There are wall and base units, some fitted appliances, appliance space, work surfaces, and adequate space for a dining table, as well as an exit point to the rear garden.
Moving upstairs the property benefits from a traditional three-bedroom layout, with two double bedrooms, one single bedroom, and a family bathroom. All of the bedrooms have adequate space for wardrobes if required. The family bathroom can be found in clean, good condition.
The outside space features a low-maintenance rear garden, with an initial decked area followed by a space laid to stone. The property has a detached garage, ideal for secure storage, and on-street parking is usually easy to come by.
The property is ideally located within walking distance of outstanding local schooling, a co-op for all your day-to-day essentials, bus routes & quick access to the Leicester City Centre plus major motorway access.

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).
