Description

Pump Cottage is situated off a minor country lane amongst some fine countryside, yet is only about a ten minute drive from junction 7 of the M11. This has historically been an area popular with commuters as there is easy access to a mainline station and London underground at Epping, about eight miles away. This picturesque cottage probably dates from the late 17th century, with subsequent additions and is traditionally constructed under a thatched roof. The later extensions are weather boarded with a tiled roof. Surprisingly for a property of this nature, the building is not Listed, which offers a greater degree of flexibility for extending and improving. The accommodation has a great deal of character, including a vaulted sitting room and fine dining room, both with fireplaces. At the back of the house there is a bright kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances, electric under floor heating and doors out to the garden, a utility room, ground floor bedroom with en suite cloakroom and a bathroom with quality tiling. On the first floor there are two bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom.

Outside, a semi-circular drive leads to an integral double garage with remote controlled up and over door and an ample gravel parking area. The gardens are a particularly fine feature with lawns and well-stocked herbaceous borders, climbing plants and many flowering trees. There are open views to front and back and a modern oil tank and storage shed.

Threshers Bush is a small hamlet close to The Lavers and convenient for the M11 motorway and the M25. Harlow which is the closest town, lies approximately four miles distant and provides a generous range of educational, recreational services including swimming pool, golf course and sports centre. Also Ongar and Epping are about seven miles distant.

Rent ratio 0.22%
Max investor price (0.8%) £230,250
Target investor price (1%) £184,200
  • 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).
