Description

This attractive three-bedroom semi-detached family home presents an excellent opportunity to purchase a spacious and versatile property in a highly sought-after location. Set on Berengrave Lane, one of the area’s most desirable roads, the home benefits from being only a short walk from the beautiful Nature Reserve Park, offering scenic surroundings and plenty of space for outdoor activities. With excellent transport links close by and major access roads within easy reach, the property combines the appeal of a peaceful residential setting with the convenience of strong connectivity, making it ideal for families and commuters alike. The property enjoys impressive kerb appeal with ample parking at the front, providing space for up to four vehicles, ensuring that both residents and visitors are well catered for. Stepping inside, you are welcomed by an entrance porch that leads into a generous hallway, setting the tone for the rest of the home. The ground floor has been carefully arranged to balance everyday family living with space for entertaining. A downstairs cloakroom adds practicality, while the main lounge and dining area provide a warm and inviting hub. This space opens seamlessly into a bright and spacious conservatory, which in turn connects to the rear garden, creating a wonderful flow and an abundance of natural light throughout the ground floor. The kitchen/ breakfast room is equally well-proportioned, offering both functionality and style. With ample storage and work surfaces, it is a space designed to meet the needs of modern living. Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three well-sized bedrooms. Each room is light and versatile, easily accommodating a growing family or providing options for a guest room or home office. The family bathroom is finished with a practical layout and completes the first-floor accommodation. One of the property’s standout features is its southeast-facing rear garden, designed to be low maintenance while still offering plenty of outdoor space. A key highlight is the converted garage, which has been thoughtfully adapted into a versatile space currently used as a playroom and cinema room. Complete with its own shower room, this additional area provides fantastic flexibility, whether as a home office, hobby space, or even guest accommodation. With the benefit of being offered to the market with no onward chain, this home is ready for its new owners to move straight in and begin enjoying everything it has to offer. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the lifestyle and opportunities this home provides.

  • 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.
