Description

A granite built cottage which was formerly a dairy and which is set in a walled courtyard. The property was converted about 20 years ago when it was re-roofed and re-wired and had plumbing and heating installed. The present owner has improved the home further and created an attractive and comfortable house. It has an entrance lobby and w.c., a reception hall with access to the office and to the open plan living room and kitchen, and upstairs there are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a large bathroom. The courtyard is granite walled on two sides and has a southerly aspect. The property enjoys all mains services.


Set off the street through a short passageway and on its own courtyard garden. The Old Dairy is only a short walk from Chagford's bustling town square. Chagford offers a wide variety of specialist and day to day shops, a parish church and a Roman Catholic church, a primary school, pre school and Montessori. There are various pubs, good restaurants and excellent sports facilities including a football and cricket pitch and pavilion, a bowling club and tennis club and an open air swimming pool in the summertime. Exeter is approximately 20 miles, and the A30 dual carriageway is approximately 5 miles.

  • 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).
