Description

Located within a cul de sac setting is this good sized two bedroom detached bungalow residence offering we feel an excellent sized accommodation with a large rear garden backing open fields. On entry you are greeted by a wide hall reception with leading access to both bedrooms positioned to the rear of the property, shower room with WC, separate WC, kitchen and utility sited to the front and main reception areas of lounge, conservatory and garden room again to the rear making the most of the backdrop view across the fields and coastline.

Very rarely does a property with a view that is as truly amazing as this come available, with a constant moving picture of ships and boats 'toing and froing' in the distance. The Walton Backwaters, Harwich, Felixstowe and the Suffolk Coast to Orford Ness are all visible from the bungalow’s rear rooms and garden.

As mentioned the property is set in a cul de sac position, well back from the road, thus limiting passing traffic and noise. The town of Walton is probably just under a mile away with Marks and Spencer supermarket, local town shops, train station, leisure centre and those beaches all to hand.

  • 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.
