## Description

Upon entering, you’re greeted by a generous open-plan living area that effortlessly combines classic character with modern styling. The elevated mezzanine-style sleeping area cleverly utilises the apartment’s impressive ceiling height, providing a distinct sleeping zone while preserving an impressive sitting room below – ideal for entertaining, working from home, or simply relaxing in comfort.

Original fireplaces add warmth and charm to both the sitting room and the large, well-appointed kitchen, creating a timeless backdrop that’s perfect for contemporary urban living. The kitchen itself offers ample space for cooking and, with some thought and alteration, could provide a totally eat-in kitchen – a rare and desirable feature in studio apartments of this kind.

A newly fitted, sleek and stylish bathroom completes the interior, offering clean lines and modern fixtures.

Perfectly positioned on the north side of the city, this desirable location boasts immediate access to an abundance of local amenities. Independent shops, characterful pubs, vibrant eateries, and scenic parks are all just moments from your doorstep. In addition, the property is ideally located for the M4, offering excellent connectivity for commuters and travellers alike. The mainline station is also just a 15-minute walk away, providing convenient access to London, South West and beyond.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, city professional, or investor seeking a premium rental opportunity, No. 4 offers something truly unique – a spacious, character-filled studio in a sought-after part of town. A five minute walk to both the Royal Crescent and the Botanical Gardens.

Don’t miss your chance to view this rare gem. Early viewing is recommended.

## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 1.25% (strong)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £375,000
- **Target investor price (1%):** £300,000

*Monthly rent ÷ price. 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak. Max investor price = rent ÷ 0.8% (Stoke-style target). Target investor price = rent ÷ 1% (strong cashflow band). Based on OpenRent comparables.*

- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** 29.8%

*Gross yield = annual rent as % of price (no costs). Cost-to-rent = price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables); under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed. Cashflow = rent − 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).*
