Description
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed via a bright and inviting hallway, which immediately sets the tone for the spacious and well presented accommodation throughout. The hallway benefits from attractive wooden flooring, which continues through into the main living space. To the front of the property is a generous living room, enhanced by a large window that allows an abundance of natural light to fill the room. The space offers plenty of room for a range of furniture arrangements and is complemented by a stylish built-in shelving and media unit, providing an attractive focal point while also offering useful storage and display space. To the rear of the property is a superb open-plan kitchen and dining area, designed with both everyday family living and entertaining in mind. The kitchen provides a good selection of cupboard storage, ample worktop space and room for white goods, together with a useful breakfast bar which creates an ideal area for informal dining or enjoying a morning coffee. The adjoining dining area offers plenty of space for a family sized dining table and chairs, making this a versatile space for both relaxed meals and entertaining guests. A particularly appealing feature is the set of bi-folding doors, which open directly onto the rear garden and create a seamless connection between the kitchen/diner and outside space. This arrangement allows the garden to become a natural extension of the living accommodation, particularly during the warmer months. A useful downstairs cupboard space is also found in the hallway which has the capability to accommodate a handy w/c.
To the first floor, the property offers three well proportioned bedrooms, all providing good levels of space and flexibility for a variety of furniture configurations. The principal bedroom is a particularly attractive room, benefiting from built-in wardrobes which provide valuable storage, while the outlook over the adjacent fields gives the room a pleasant and open aspect. The second bedroom has been enhanced with stylish acoustic panelling, adding a contemporary touch and creating an attractive feature wall. The third bedroom is also a well-sized room and could comfortably serve as a bedroom, nursery, home office or additional living space depending on the requirements of the new owner. The family bathroom is fitted as a practical four piece suite, comprising a WC, wash hand basin, bath and separate shower cubicle. The generous layout provides plenty of functionality for family life, while the separate bath and shower offer flexibility for both busy mornings and relaxing evenings.
Additional improvements include an upgraded wooden and glass staircase banister, adding a modern and stylish feature to the first floor approach, together with recently replaced windows which provide further peace of mind for the incoming owner.

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).
