Description
As can be seen from the photographs the kitchen/dining room has been tastefully fitted with a comprehensive range of units and appliances and it features a large island unit which is ideal for both food preparation and social gatherings. The dining area of the kitchen has doors which open to the rear garden and the general size of the kitchen/dining room makes it the ideal place for friends and family to spend time together. Day-to-day life can be discreetly hidden away from view with an incredibly large laundry room.
To the first floor, the landing carries forward the impressive sense of space in the reception hallway and there are four double bedrooms (with one of the bedrooms having a private ensuite). The three remaining bedrooms on this level are serviced by a stunning family bathroom which has been fitted with a heritage four-piece suite. Stairs rise from the first floor to the top floor where there is another bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. The top floor has a large storage room and two further interconnecting rooms which could be ideal for buyers wishing to work from home or potentially annexe accommodation from the main house with a degree of separation.
Outside there are mature gardens to both the front and the rear and a gated driveway affords off-street parking for several vehicles and also leads to the garage.

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).
