Description
Approaching 3,000 sq ft, the existing accommodation is well balanced and comprises a welcoming entrance hall, three reception rooms, kitchen breakfast room, utility and downstairs WC. To the first floor are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, providing generous family accommodation as it stands.
Externally, the property sits centrally within its plot, creating a strong sense of space and privacy. A large driveway provides ample off-road parking alongside an integral double garage, with substantial lawned gardens to the front and private enclosed gardens to the rear.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home on the edge of Carrwood, where a number of neighbouring properties have already been significantly enhanced or redeveloped. Whether extending the existing house or creating a completely new home, subject to planning, the potential here is clear.
A prime Hale Barns plot in an increasingly sought-after location, offering both immediate space and outstanding long-term opportunity.

- 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).
