Description
Internally, the accommodation begins with an entrance hall housing the staircase and providing access into the kitchen. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed in an ‘L’ shape, fitted with white wall and base units complemented by contrasting worktops and integrated appliances including a gas hob, oven and extractor hood. An open doorway leads through to the front facing living room, a bright and versatile space with room for a dining table and chairs, and featuring a wall hung electric fireplace as a focal point. From the kitchen, a uPVC stable door opens directly onto the rear garden.
To the first floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom benefits from built in storage, with one cupboard discreetly housing the combination boiler. Completing the accommodation is a spacious three piece bathroom, finished in a contemporary white suite and enhanced by a chrome horizontal towel radiator.
Externally, the front of the property features a stone flagged garden with a gravelled border, while the rear offers a fully enclosed, low maintenance garden with flagged patio areas, astroturfing and a raised decking corner, perfect for outdoor seating and enjoying the sunshine.
The property further benefits from uPVC double glazing, gas central heating throughout and a freehold tenure.

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).
