Description
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a bright and inviting hallway which leads through to a spacious lounge/dining room, ideal for both relaxing with the family and entertaining guests. The kitchen is well equipped with modern appliances and ample storage, providing a practical and stylish space for everyday living. Leading on from the kitchen is a further storage area, currently utilised to house a fridge freezer, adding valuable functionality. A convenient downstairs WC completes the ground floor.
To the first floor, the property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which are generous doubles. The master bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and enjoys pleasant views overlooking the adjacent green space and park. The second bedroom is another spacious double, featuring a beautiful bay window that floods the room with natural light. The third bedroom is a well-sized single, offering ample space for a bed and additional storage furniture.
Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, a well-sized driveway enhances the attractive kerb appeal and provides off-road parking. To the rear, the garden is laid with a combination of patio and gravel areas, creating a low-maintenance outdoor space ideal for relaxing or entertaining, with the added benefit of rear access directly onto the green space/park beyond.
A detached garage, conveniently located within the cul-de-sac, completes this fantastic property.
This is a home not to be missed and one that is sure to attract strong interest. Early viewing is highly recommended as it is unlikely to remain on the market for long.

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).
