Description
2 the Bight is tucked away and private, yet so accessible from the centre of town.
Step into the warm and welcoming entrance hall through the period front door. Grey painted panelled walls and crisp white walls provide a neutral backdrop to this inviting space.
There are two fabulous bedrooms on this floor both easily have space for a super-king-size bed. Wood style flooring compliments with deeper grey tones on the wood panelled walls, while quality fitted floor-to-ceiling wardrobes are on hand for a plentiful supply of clothes storage. Full height windows frame views of the garden and the river beyond and provide access out onto the ground floor balcony.
The family bathroom contains a large walk-in shower, twin basins and WC with plenty of shelving to store all your towels. An ever so useful utility room is accessed from the rear of the house.
Take the painted timber stairs, with grey runner up to the bright, light landing that opens out into the open plan living area.
A gleamingly light and contemporary kitchen unfurls into a dining and living area for all the family. Feast in the dining area, set before the wall of bi-fold windows, which overlook the garden and provide panoramic views of the River Dart and over to Kingswear beyond.
Bi-fold doors in the living area open out onto the balcony, ideal for summertime barbecues, simply pull the doors open and step out for al fresco breakfast, lunch and dinner. A contemporary log burner provides a focal point and warmth on those long winter nights.
Head up the stairs to the second floor and the bonus property; 'The Loft Room" with its own private entrance and separated from the main house this can provide a useful extra income or be incorporated into the main house.
The Loft Room has stunning views of the river and glimpses of the sea beyond. It comes with its own en-suite shower room and cosy living area.
Currently run as a very successful holiday let through Airbnb. Step outside to the low maintenance gardens that surround the house, a patio area and level lawn complete the outside space.
There is also access from The Loft Room to Above Town via a private bridge. Here the owners are in the process of applying for planning permission for a car charging point in the aim to get planning for a parking platform for off-road parking.

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).
