The cottage provides for ample living space throughout, and three bedrooms and main bathroom to the first floor.
The attractive garden is perfect for anyone who loves gardening and wants the potential to live off their land and be semi-self sufficient.
There's an abundance of fruit trees, and mature trees surrounding the plot. There's a number of outbuildings and log store, but is in need of some attention to return it to it's former glory. This home must be seen to really appreciate the plot size and potential!

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.

- 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).
