Description
Set in a quiet and established part of Horsehay, this modernised home has been well cared for by the current owners since it was built in 1997. The heart of the home is a spacious kitchen and dining area, ideal for daily family life and entertaining. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with ample worktop space, space for appliances and room for a large dining table, all set beneath wide windows that let in plenty of natural light and overlooking the rear garden. The living room is positioned at the front of he property and looks out onto the green, creating a peaceful space to relax. Neutral décor and quality finishes run throughout the property, reflecting the care and attention it has received over the years. The property also benefits from solar panels and an electric car charging port.
Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom comes with its own en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom is deceptively spacious with views over the garden. The third bedroom is currently fully fitted with wardrobes, perfect for those who want a separate dressing room, though it wouldn't take much to turn it back into a fully functioning bedroom. The family bathroom is modern and neatly presented with a clean and simple design. Outside, the private rear garden is fully enclosed and well maintained, offering a safe and sunny area for children to play or for adults to enjoy some quiet time. To the front, a wide driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the integral garage, adding further convenience for busy families. The open green space just opposite the property adds to the sense of openness and connection to nature.
The local area is especially appealing for families, with highly regarded schools close by and several parks and open green spaces within walking distance. Horsehay itself is a friendly, well-established community with easy access to local shops, services and eateries. Commuters will appreciate the excellent transport links, with nearby road routes connecting to Telford town centre, the M54 and beyond. For weekend outings, the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site and surrounding countryside offer history, walking trails and family days out, all just a short drive away. This freehold detached home is a rare opportunity to secure a well-kept property in a sought-after and family-friendly part of Telford.
Please note - we are advised that the current owners have a share of ownership in the green to the front of the property, along with other residents. This is to stop any further development. We are also advised that the owners will be leaving behind the blinds and light fittings on completion of the sale. We recommend getting confirmation on the above points by a solicitor once a sale has been agreed.

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).
