Description
Upon entering, you are welcomed by a bright and inviting hallway featuring decorative stained-glass front doors that allow natural light to filter through while maintaining privacy. The neutral décor and classic detailing create an immediate sense of warmth.
The living room is generously proportioned, with a large front-facing window that fills the space with natural light. Tastefully decorated, it provides a comfortable and stylish setting for relaxing or entertaining.
To the rear, the modern fitted kitchen is both practical and characterful, centred around an impressive range cooker set within a feature alcove. Ample cabinetry provides excellent storage, and the layout flows seamlessly into the conservatory. The conservatory creates an additional reception area, ideal as a dining space or family room, with pleasant views over the garden and direct access outdoors.
Upstairs, the property offers three well-presented bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys generous dimensions, providing ample space for freestanding storage without compromising the room’s light and airy feel. The second bedroom is well-proportioned and also offers wardrobe space, making it ideal as a guest room or child’s bedroom. The third bedroom, although the smallest, remains cosy and practical with fitted storage and flexible use as a nursery, dressing room, or home office. A contemporary family bathroom completes the first floor.
Externally, the property continues to impress. The garden features a versatile garden room, currently used as a separate home office with soundproofing installed — ideal for remote working or creative pursuits. There is also a substantial shed measuring approximately 3.39m x 4.19m, providing excellent additional storage or workshop space.
To the rear of the property, there is access for off-road parking, currently accommodating a caravan — a significant benefit for those requiring additional vehicle or recreational storage.
Combining flexible internal space, useful external buildings, rear parking, and a highly convenient location close to transport links and amenities, this home presents an excellent opportunity for families and professionals alike.

- 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.
