Positioned on the fringes of a highly sought-after estate this property must be viewed to be appreciated for its generous room sizes and stunning 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.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- 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).
- 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.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
