Property Description
We are delighted to welcome to the market this impressive and rarely available two bedroom detached bungalow which was built in 2016 and offers level-access and level wrap-around gardens.

The property itself briefly comprises; entrance hall, lounge with electric fireplace, modern fitted kitchen/ dining room leading on to the conservatory, two double bedrooms with an en-suite shower room to the master and a further bathroom. Externally the property benefits from a single garage with power to it and driveway parking available for two cars. The gardens can be accessed via the conservatory or via one of two side access gates. The gardens have been very well maintained by the current owner and will suit a green-fingered buyer to further enjoy the garden areas.

  • 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.
