Description

Set in a small development of houses built in 1998 is this immaculately presented three-bedroom semi-detached family house with a stunning open plan kitchen, living and dining room. The house is situated in a private road only a short walk of Guildford railway station and the High Street.

Presented in stunning condition throughout, this extremely well-presented family house is ideally situated in a small cul-de-sac just off Ridgemount right in the town centre, within a few minutes' walk of the mainline station. With a well-appointed living, dining and kitchen space, complete with large granite and oak breakfast bar, with front and rear bay windows furnished with plantation shutters, with a door leading to both garage to the front and garden to the rear. The covered porch leads into the entrance hall with stairs to the 1st floor. On the first floor an impressive master bedroom has built-in wardrobes, window to front and door to an immaculate ensuite shower room. There is a further double bedroom and a third good size bedroom with fitted storage, and a bright fresh fitted family bathroom. Outside to the front is a landscaped front garden with resin driveway providing parking for two cars, and access to the attached garage. Through a side access gate, you lead to the sunny south facing landscaped rear garden which comprises a patio area with the remainder laid to lawn with mature shrub and flowers bed borders; all enclosed by panelled fencing, raised sleepers and with open views beyond affording a good degree of seclusion and privacy.

The property is located in a private road, just a short distance from the hustle and bustle of the town centre. With the train station less than a mile to the property, it is an ideal home for those wanting a quiet secluded home in the heart of the town centre.

  • 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).
