Description
This charming, terraced cottage enjoys a wonderful position just a short walk from the mainline train station and thriving village centre. The property has been successfully let for many years due mainly to it's condition, character, charm and location. The owners have periodically updated and improved the property, most recently fitting a new gas-fired central heating Baxi boiler.
The accommodation comprises a sitting room with original ornamental fireplace (not in use), fitted storage cupboards, wood-effect flooring and stairs to the first floor accommodation. The kitchen/dining room is fitted with a range of base level and wall-mounted storage cupboards, ample fitted working surfaces with an inset single sink unit and drainer, four-ring ceramic hob, oven, extractor, washing machine and fridge freezer all of which are included in the sale. Off the rear lobby, which has a door to the garden, is a cloakroom wc, which houses the wall-mounted, gas-fired boiler.
Upstairs, off the landing are two bedrooms and a bathroom.
Outside, the front garden is screened from the road by hedging and laid mainly to shingle. Please not that the neighbouring properties have created a driveway, but of course this would need planning consent. The rear garden is laid mainly to paviour and shingle and about 40ft in length with gated rear access. Please note that both neighbours have pedestrian access across the garden.
Location - Great Shelford is a sought-after village just to the south east of the city, with an excellent range of facilities including primary school, health centre, recreation ground, library, church and a range of shops including supermarket, bakery, chemist and butcher.

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.
- 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).
- 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).
