## Description

Westabrook is located on the edge of Ashburton, within Dartmoor National Park, yet within walking distance of the town's shop and amenities. The A38 at Peartree provides quick access to the two Devon cities of Exeter and Plymouth, and the rugged landscape of the open moor is just a few minutes drive. Ashburton has a primary school and the South Dartmoor Academy, both of which are within walking distance of the property.

2 Westabrook is a family sized semi-detached property with a generous garden and potential to create parking, subject to any required consents. 

The accommodation includes an entrance hall, living room with modern wood-burner and good sized kitchen-dining room with access to the rear garden. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom and most of the first floor rooms have exposed wooden floorboards. The property has a gas fired heating system with modern boiler. The current owners have made various improvements in their ownership and it offers great potential for a buyer to add their own stamp. 

Outside, the rear garden is loosely split into three areas with lawns and various shrubbery beds. There is a useful store/workshop.

- **Target investor price (1%):** £115,000

*Gross yield = annual rent as % of price (no costs). Cost-to-rent = price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables); under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed. Cashflow = rent − 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).*
