Description
With a porch leading into the hallway which has two storage cupboards, you step into a twenty-seven-foot reception room which has a large picture window to one end letting in plenty of light. To the rear of the room is an open plan dining area which has garden views. The kitchen is fitted with a range of oak fronted base and eye level units with a door to the garden at one end. There are two well-matched double bedrooms with the main bedroom offering built-in wardrobes to one wall. The family bathroom is fitted with a matched white suite.
Outside, to the front there is a garden planted with a variety of mature shrubs with a path leading up from the road. A driveway provides plenty of parking and accesses the garage set to one side. The rear garden offers a high degree of seclusion and has a patio area bordered by a brick retaining wall with a loggia over. The remainder is laid to lawn with mature hedging, specimen trees, a timber shed and summerhouse. Offered with no onward chain, the property could be redeveloped further (S.T.P) to suit a buyer’s tastes to offer reconfigured or extended accommodation.

- 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).
