Description

** Covered porch, sitting/dining room, kitchen and ground floor bathroom. First floor bedroom. Enclosed garden to front. On-street parking. No forward chain. 

Location 1 The Haven is situated in the pretty village of Alderton, within walking distance of the village shop/post office, doctors' surgery and the sea. Within 3 miles of the property to the west is the popular and unique Ramsholt Arms public house, from where there is sailing on the River Deben. To the south is Bawdsey Quay with sailing centre, café, sandy beach and foot ferry to Felixstowe. Shingle beaches at East Lane and Shingle Street (SSSI) are also nearby.

The progressive Bawdsey Primary School is in close proximity and the town of Woodbridge is about 20 minutes by car. This popular town also offers excellent schooling in both the state and private sector as well as pubs, restaurants, shops and businesses. From Woodbridge, there are trains to Ipswich connecting with rail services to London's Liverpool Street station, taking just over the hour. 

Description 1 The Haven forms part of a terrace of cottages dating from 1908. They are of brick construction under a tiled roof. Whilst the cottage has UPVC double-glazed windows and night storage heaters, it does require complete renovation and modernisation internally. The accommodation comprises sitting/dining room, kitchen, ground floor bathroom and first bedroom. There is an enclosed garden to the front and on-street parking.

1 The Haven will be marketed for a minimum period of 14 days before any offers will be considered or accepted by the vendor, Flagship Housing (this allows them to demonstrate that they have achieved best value). The vendor requires offers to be accompanied by a completed Declaration of Interest Form, which is available from the agent. Please see 'Notes' towards the end of these details for further information regarding the buying process.

Rent ratio 0.69%
Max investor price (0.8%) £104,000

  • 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).
