PROPERTY DESCRIPTIONThis beautifully presented semi-detached house situated in the new Grasmere Gardens development in Chestfield boasts a wonderful finish throughout with the owners having improved several areas, with the panelling in bedroom 1 providing a clean finish to the room and the extended driveway and patio areas providing more useable outdoor space too. There is ample parking space for two large vehicles on the driveway, whilst the rear garden features a large patio area, grass lawn and shed. The solar panels on the roof were fitted with the house, along with the EV charging point which adds a lovely touch. The property was one of the original Baneberry designed homes, which features an open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area that features a breakfast bar and patio doors to the garden. A ground floor cloakroom and large hallway provide an inviting space to the home, whilst the two near identical bedrooms offer space to grow for a couple, young family, or even those downsizing whilst requiring space for guests. The family bathroom completes the accommodation upstairs.The beauty of this home is that it is presented as a show home, whilst being available now. As the only 2-bedroom property available in Grasmere Gardens, with all new build plots already sold, you really can't miss here! Situated off-Reeves Way in Chestfield, Grasmere Gardens is a wonderful location with green spaces surrounding the development and convenient access to the local supermarket and other facilities.

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).
