Description
The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over two floors and is finished to a high standard throughout. Upon entering, you are welcomed into an entrance hallway with stairs rising to the first floor. To the front of the property, the spacious lounge provides a bright and comfortable reception space, perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
The Owners Love - We love the garden, it is perfect for hosting especially as it captures the morning and afternoon sun, there is also visitor parking spaces on the estate so family and friends can visit with ease. The rooms are big and spacious filled with natural light. It’s the perfect first home especially with its efficient heating, remaining cost effective throughout the year with the added comfort of under floor heating downstairs.
To the rear, the property opens into a well-designed kitchen/diner, fitted with a modern range of units and offering ample space for dining. The layout creates a sociable heart of the home, ideal for everyday family life and hosting guests alike. A convenient ground floor cloakroom/WC is positioned just off the kitchen area, adding further practicality.
On the first floor, the property offers two generous double bedrooms. Bedroom one spans the front of the home and provides an excellent principal bedroom space, while bedroom two overlooks the rear and would also work perfectly as a guest room, nursery, or home office. A contemporary family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.
Matt Loves – This is an incredible opportunity to get onto the housing ladder for someone. The amount of space on offer for this price is truly spectacular. The home is impeccably presented throughout and is ready for the next owner to move right in.
Externally, the home continues to impress with a rear garden, ideal for outdoor dining, children, or simply enjoying the warmer months. To the front of the property there are two allocated parking spaces, together with the added benefit of an EV charging point, perfectly suited to modern lifestyles.
Further enhancing the appeal is the home’s air source heat pump heating system, providing an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly way to heat the property, helping to keep running costs lower.
This superb modern home combines smart design, excellent presentation, and sustainable features in a highly desirable village setting with excellent access to local amenities, schools, Taunton, Bridgwater, and the M5.

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).
