Description
This property has been in the same family ownership for very many years and having been tenanted it is now being offered for sale due to the property becoming vacant. It is set in a very convenient position right in the heart of the village close to the local school, garden centre and pub and presents itself as an ideal opportunity for a young family wanting a modest home within this thriving village community. The cottage has been modernised over the years and whilst fully habitable it would benefit from total redecoration and some minor refurbishment. There is a parking bay immediately to the front of the cottage and situated a short distance away and approached by a pedestrian path from the rear there is a large level area of garden. Early viewing is essential.
Goonhavern is an expanding community easily accessed along the A3075 which passes through the village. There are limited local facilities as previously mentioned but the village is just a few miles from the coastal resort of Perranporth where there is a full range of shops and facilities for daily needs as well as the famous sandy beach. The Cathedral city of Truro is about eight miles away and this boasts a fine shopping centre with many national multiples, the hall for Cornwall, private and state schools and an intercity rail link to London (Paddington).
The cottage is largely of stone construction with traditional sash windows to the front elevation under a cement fibre roof. New PVCu doors were fitted to the front and rear entrance of the cottage in February 2017.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on Area rent estimate.
- 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).
