Description

A lovely 2 Bedroom Semi Detached home within the new development of Elwick Gardens, Naisbury Park. The development is surrounded by beautiful fields and woodland, close to the Golf Course. The property is complimented by a block paved two car driveway to the front and a private rear garden. This home is CHAIN FREE and well finished throughout.

As you enter the home, you’re initially welcomed into a brief reception vestibule, with oak toned laminate flooring underfoot, which seamlessly flows throughout the entire ground floor. An internal door connects through from the vestibule directly into the spacious living room, with a large window to the front aspect and a white spindle staircase running up the left-hand wall, with oak handrails.

A doorway to the rear of the living room leads you through into the kitchen & breakfast room, with a guest washroom to the right as you enter. The kitchen is fitted with a multitude of units, finished in a white shaker style with vertical ribbed detail, twisted bar handles and oak veneer worktops. Oversized French doors span the majority of the rear aspect, opening out onto the patio beyond, ideal for alfresco dining during the summer months.

As you ascend the staircase, you’re welcomed onto a first-floor landing, which directly services two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A soft grey carpet adorns the staircase, landing and both bedrooms, one to each aspect. The family bathroom is centrally located on the landing, fitted with a modern white suite inclusive of toilet, sink and bath, along with a wall mounted chrome shower.

The rear garden is generously proportioned with a patio to the rear of the French doors and a large lawn with a high fence perimeter. There’s side access from the garden to the driveway.

  • 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).
