Description
On entering the property from the front is a pleasant lobby space which opens into a hall way giving access to the ground floor accommodation and stairs to the first floor. The deceptively large lounge has a a bay window to the front elevation and has a gas fire and fire place, built in units to one of the chimney breast alcoves and decorative wall lights. Across the hall is the first of the ground floor bedrooms with built in wardrobes and dressing table plus dual aspect windows. Further down the hall way is the 2nd reception room with dual aspect windows, which being off the kitchen makes a great dining room. Across the hall is the other ground floor bedroom again with fitted wardrobes and a window overlooking the garden to the rear. Next door is the family bathroom with a built in storage cupboard, floor to ceiling white tiles and a 3 piece white suite with shower over the bath. To the rear elevation and accessed from the dining room or from the driveway to the side of the property is the kitchen. The kitchen is well laid out with plenty of work tops and cupboard space and would benefit from a programme of modernisation. Access to the first floor is via an open staircase where there is a bedroom and storage space to the eves which with the right plans could be converted or added to.
From the side entrance is a generous drive way leading to a detached garage and access to the large level garden to the rear. Currently mainly made up of lawn and shrubs the rear garden gives opportunity with the right planning permission for and extension and additional living space. The front garden is again level and low maintenance with lawn and bordered by flower beds and shrubs.
The property has gas central heating and Upvc double glazing.

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).
