GUIDE PRICE £230,000 TO £260,000 VIEWINGS BY APPT
A beautifully presented period cottage with a luxurious interior and two bathrooms. Situated in the delightful village of Henlow in Central Bedfordshire and offered with full vacant possession. This would be a great turn-key buy to let investment with an estimated annual rent of around £15,000 PA (With EICR valid to 17/07/28 and gas safety until 08/08/25) and being a freehold house, none of the additional costs associated with leasehold. The property is finished to a good standard and benefits from a stylish interior with a well appointed modern kitchen with integrated appliances and bi-fold door to the rear garden, modern bathroom, two bedrooms and a cleverly designed en-suite shower room that adds to the versatility and appeal of the home. Outside there is small front garden and an attractive and generously sized rear garden. This would also suit an owner occupier looking to purchase a home quickly and without complication, as completion is typically around 28 days post auction. Henlow is a great village location with easy access to the A1M and a short drive away from nearby towns. The closest train station is Arseley which provides a Thames Link service into Central London in around 40 minutes. Call AUCTION HOUSE BEDS AND BUCKS now for more information.

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).
