## Description

Call us **9AM - 9PM** -**7 **days a week, **365** days a year!

**Danby the way… this one’s got plenty up its sleeve! With three bedrooms, parking for three cars, a conservatory, separate utility and a converted garage providing a home office, this semi-detached home packs an impressive amount of usable space into its footprint.**

Situated on Danby Crest in Stafford, the property sits within an established residential area with convenient access to local amenities and everyday essentials. Stafford town centre offers a wider range of shopping, dining and leisure facilities, while useful road connections make getting around Stafford and further afield straightforward.

The property is approached via a generous **driveway providing off-road parking for up to three vehicles**. There is currently an EV charging point installed; however, buyers should note that the current owners may remove the charging unit when they move, with the existing wiring remaining in place.

Stepping inside, the entrance hallway has stairs rising to the first-floor landing and a door to the left opening into the living room. The lounge is a good-sized and welcoming reception space, with attractive wall panelling adding a smart decorative touch. A door at the rear leads through into the kitchen and dining room. The dining area sits to the right, with plenty of space for a full-sized dining table. Doors behind open into the **conservatory**, providing an additional reception space with direct access out to the garden.

Across from the dining area is the kitchen, fitted with a fresh range of units and offering plenty of useful cupboard and preparation space alongside a freestanding single oven. The kitchen continues through into a particularly handy **utility area**, where three under-counter spaces provide plenty of room for appliances. From here, there is another door directly into the rear garden as well as internal access into the former garage.

Heading upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to **three bedrooms**, comprising two doubles and a single. Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom, fitted with a bath and shower over.

The garage has been cleverly divided into two useful areas. The first is currently arranged as a **home office**, providing a dedicated workspace away from the main living accommodation, while the remaining section at the front provides valuable storage.

Outside, the rear garden has been designed with low-maintenance living in mind. It begins with a paved patio area immediately behind the house, before a picket fence separates this from the first tier. The first tier is laid with artificial lawn, with a central paved pathway leading up to the second tier, which is again finished with artificial grass. A useful garden shed sits to the right-hand side.

With three bedrooms, multiple reception spaces, a separate utility, dedicated home office and plenty of driveway parking, this is a versatile semi-detached home with plenty of practical space for modern family life.

## 1% Rule

- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £318,750
- **Target investor price (1%):** £255,000

*Monthly rent ÷ price. 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak. Max investor price = rent ÷ 0.8% (Stoke-style target). Target investor price = rent ÷ 1% (strong cashflow band). Based on OpenRent comparables.*

- **Monthly cashflow:** £1,246/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** 19.8%

*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).*
