## Description

Price range £250,000 - £270,000

Take a closer look at this quite unique, two bedroom detached house, with some simply stunning sea views.

Lovingly updated by the current owners, you certainly get "the feel" as soon as you cross over the threshold.

Obtain a dropped kerb and park on the hardstanding to the side of the property, then it is into the open plan Lounge - Kitchen/Dining area. The feature spiral stair case adds to the character of this home along with the sash windows, exposed floor boards and decorative mouldings. If walls had ears, I'm sure this homes story would be gripping, the character and history simply oozes out.

There is a spacious bathroom, which could accommodate a separate shower if desired, the modern fitted suite is fine as is.

Upstairs and this home really comes into its own, with a superb landing offering sea views across the estuary, then there is the main bedroom with its Oriel window, with which you can sit and watch the storms rolling in from. Fine weather or fowl you will never tire of the views across the beach and coastline.

We could continue but this home really does need to be viewed, to truly be appreciated, so call the office and book your exclusive viewing time.

## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 0.46% (weak for cashflow)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £143,750
- **Target investor price (1%):** £115,000

*Monthly rent ÷ price. 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak. Max investor price = rent ÷ 0.8% (Stoke-style target). Target investor price = rent ÷ 1% (strong cashflow band). Based on OpenRent comparables.*

- **Monthly cashflow:** £25/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** 0.4%

*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).*
