Description
The ground floor comprises a spacious entrance hall leading to two well-proportioned reception rooms, including a large through lounge with a bay window and feature fireplace, providing a bright and versatile living space. To the rear, a fitted kitchen opens through to a substantial conservatory, offering additional living or dining space with direct access to the garden. A separate utility area and ground floor WC add further practicality.
Upstairs, the property offers four bedrooms, all of good size, alongside a family bathroom and an additional separate bathroom, providing flexibility for growing families. A further loft room is accessible, offering useful extra space for storage or potential conversion, subject to the necessary consents.
Externally, the rear garden is a standout feature, extending to a generous size with a mix of patio and lawn, bordered by mature planting and offering plenty of potential for landscaping. To the front, a driveway provides convenient off-road parking.
While the property would benefit from updating throughout, it offers a fantastic opportunity to modernise and personalise a substantial home in a desirable location close to local amenities, schools, and transport links.

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.

- 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).
