## Description

Offered to the market in immaculate order, a beautifully presented three bedroom semi detached home with the benefit of driveway parking and single garage ideally located in the favoured area of Heathlake Park. The well kept accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, a cloakroom (which is rarely found on non detached homes on this development), a spacious living room with tasteful modern wood panelling, a open plan facelifted kitchen/dining room with patio doors to the garden and a partially converted garage which now comprises a salon/utility. Upstairs you will find a spacious master bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a guest bedroom with fitted wardrobe which is currently set up as an office but easily houses a double bed, and there is a third bedroom which is also currently used as an office. The final room to the first floor is an impressive modern bathroom suite.

Outside the property benefits from driveway parking leading to the single garage with the rear part being converted to a salon/utility (please note, we don’t believe the conversion has current building regulation sign off and an indemnity policy maybe be required).  The remainder of the frontage comprises a well tended flower bed and an outside storage cupboard. Side access leads to the private rear garden with a spacious patio making an ideal entertaining space with the remainder laid to lawn with a small seating area to the far corner. 

Heathlake Park is a development built in the late 1980's and abuts the woodland of the Heathlake Nature Reserve and the East Berkshire Golf Course. The estate is between Crowthorne Railway Station and the High Street with its variety of shops and amenities and a short walk to the Tesco Express shopping parade.

- **Monthly cashflow:** £-184/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** -1.6%

*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).*
