Description

The Property
Tucked away in a quiet and well-regarded residential area, this spacious semi-detached home on Thirlmere Drive offers a flexible layout, generous accommodation, and excellent potential for modern family living. Well-presented throughout, the property is ideally suited to growing families or those seeking additional living space in a convenient location.

On arrival, you are welcomed by an entrance porch that leads into a bright hallway, setting the tone for the home’s well-planned interior. The ground floor offers a fitted kitchen to the front of the property with ample storage and workspace, ideal for day-to-day family life. A convenient cloakroom with W.C. is also located on the ground floor, adding practicality to the layout.

To the rear, the spacious living room is a key feature, boasting patio doors that open directly onto the rear garden—allowing natural light to flood in while providing seamless access to the outdoor space. An additional reception room to the front of the property offers excellent flexibility and is currently utilised as a fourth bedroom , but could easily serve as a dining room, home office, or playroom depending on your needs.

The first floor hosts three well-proportioned bedrooms, all offering good natural light and a pleasant outlook. A modern family shower room completes the upper level, featuring contemporary fittings and a practical layout.

Externally, the property benefits from off-road parking to the front and well-maintained gardens to both the front and rear. The rear garden provides a secure, private space ideal for families with children or pets, or for enjoying outdoor dining and relaxation.

Situated close to local schools, shops, and public transport links, including nearby access to major road networks, this home combines comfort, space, and convenience in equal measure.

A fantastic opportunity to acquire a versatile family home in a sought-after location. Early viewing is highly recommended.

  • 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.
