Description
Step inside through the composite front door into a bright and contemporary kitchen/diner, thoughtfully designed with a range of two tone wall and base units, contrasting worktops and under cabinet lighting. Integrated appliances include an electric oven with ceramic hob and extractor hood, fridge freezer and washing machine, while the generous dining space provides the perfect setting for everyday meals and entertaining.
A spacious guest cloakroom sits just off the kitchen, while the open plan layout flows seamlessly into the lounge.
Cleverly separated by the staircase, the living space feels both connected and distinct, creating an inviting atmosphere. The lounge enjoys plenty of natural light and features attractive wood-effect flooring, a useful under stairs storage cupboard and impressive bifold doors opening directly onto the rear garden, effortlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
Upstairs, the first floor landing gives access to two well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is a generous double with two front facing windows, ample space for wardrobes and TV connection points.
The second bedroom overlooks the rear garden and benefits from a built in storage cupboard and recess ideal for fitted wardrobes or a home workspace.
Completing the accommodation is a stylish family bathroom, fitted with a modern white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over and glass screen, wash hand basin, WC, contemporary grey tiling, chrome heated towel rail and tiled flooring.
Outside, the private rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a raised decking area, providing an excellent space for relaxing or entertaining. A superb timber garden cabin offers fantastic versatility and is currently used as a home office, making it ideal for remote working, while also lending itself perfectly as a garden bar, gym, hobby room or summer house.
To the front, the property benefits from a driveway providing side by side off road parking for two vehicles and an EV charger.
Finished to an excellent standard throughout and ready to move straight into, this is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a modern home that combines contemporary style, practical living and flexible outdoor space.

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).
