Description

Measham ** Measham is a village in Leicestershire and is close to the Staffordshire and Derbyshire border, located just off the A42 Junction 11 south of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. The village lies at the heart of the National Forest and close to Willesley Grounds which has a fishing lake and scout campsite. The village has a busy High Street with many shops, an excellent local primary school and leisure centre. 

Accommodation ** Sitting back from the road behind a picket fence and a low maintenance fore-garden, this beautiful ornate Edwardian home has feature arched entrance porch with half-height original tiling to the sides. A door opens to lead you into a very spacious, open-plan lounge / dining room. The lounge has a bay widow to the fore, with fitted plantation style shutters, a feature fireplace at the focal point. This space flows into the dining room, which has ample space for a family dining table and stairs leading off.

Open access leads into the adjacent kitchen, having shaker style units wrapping along the walls with complimentary high gloss countertops, integral gas hob with extractor over and oven under. There is a useful guest cloakroom / utility room and from the kitchen, a stable door takes you out to the gardens and patio area.

Climb the stairs to the first floor and leading off the landing you will find that there are three bedrooms. The master bedroom lies to the front, being the full-width of the property and has the benefit of fitted mirrored wardrobes to one wall and a lovely, ornate, period style, decorative fireplace as a centre point. Bedrooms two and three overlook the rear gardens.

The family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite, comprising bath with glazed shower screen, ceramic tiled splashbacks to the walls, a fitted bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.

Outside, gated side access leads you around the rear of the property and here you will find a lovely paved pathway leading to a patio area. A picket fence and gate opens into a lovely, shaped, lawned garden with mature planted flowering borders with a wide variety of shrubs and cottage style plants. A gravelled pathway leads along to the bottom of the garden where you will find a second enclosed patio area with feature brick-built wall and slate paving. There is also a useful storage outbuilding with door and window to the side.

  • 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.
