Description

A beautifully maintained and much-loved three-bedroom townhouse, set within an exclusive and intimate development, just a short distance from the heart of Charlton Kings village and within school catchment area of Balcarras School, Charlton Kings Infant and Junior School. Tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, the property enjoys a prime position close to popular local amenities and highly regarded schools.
This property arranged over three floors, welcomes you with an entrance hall featuring stairs to the upper levels. From here, there is access to a cloakroom, an integral garage, and a stylish kitchen/dining room fitted with matching units and double patio doors opening onto the rear garden.
The first floor comprises a well-appointed family bathroom, a spacious third bedroom, and a light-filled living room with French doors leading out to a balcony—perfect for enjoying distant views of the Cotswold Hills.
Upstairs on the second floor, the main bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room. Bedrooms three and four were originally designed as one larger bedroom but has now been converted into two separate rooms with double doors connecting them.
The rear garden enjoys a sunny south-westerly aspect and features a combination of lawn and paved seating areas, enclosed by panel fencing with a timber gate providing rear access. Additional features include gas central heating and double glazing throughout.

  • 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.
