Description
The welcoming entrance hall leads through to the heart of the home, where the kitchen opens seamlessly into a substantial living and dining area. The contemporary fitted kitchen features an extensive range of cabinetry, generous work surfaces, a large central island with breakfast bar seating and a range of integrated appliances. The adjoining living and dining space is exceptionally well proportioned, with large areas of glazing and bi-folding doors flooding the room with natural light and opening directly onto the terrace and gardens.
A separate utility/boot room provides useful additional storage and laundry facilities, whilst a cloakroom/WC completes the central accommodation.
The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, enjoying excellent proportions together with two dressing rooms and a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower and twin wash basins. There are three further well-proportioned bedrooms, one benefiting from its own en-suite shower room, whilst the remaining two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom with a bath and overhead shower.
Externally, Rowan House sits within generous grounds which provide a wonderful sense of space and privacy. The extensive gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with a large terrace running along the rear of the property providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining with five sets of bi-folding doors opening onto the garden. The terrace and gardens overlook the neighbouring countryside and boast superb open far-reaching views.
The generous driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the attached double garage, providing further secure parking and storage space, together with an electric vehicle charging point.

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).
