The Property:
2 Boswell Way is a detached chalet style house occupying a corner location in a quiet residential area. This well-presented property is situated within walking distance of the town centre, shops and amenities and is also conveniently located close to the ‘Hail & Stop’ bus route and local amenities including the health centre and hospital.

The property was purchased by the present vendor approximately 14 years ago and since that time has been completely updated and improved including creating a lovely open plan kitchen/dining room. More recently, the property has been further updated with works including, a new Worcester Bosch gas central heating boiler, new woodburning stove, cavity wall insulation, new solid wood oak flooring in the hallway and new carpets, curtains and blinds throughout, new front door, new patio doors and landscaping of the side garden creating an attractive private seating area. The property also has the benefit of full double glazing and must be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.

Sliding doors open to a front porch. The new front door opens into the entrance hallway with stairs rising to the first floor with small understairs cupboard, cloaks cupboard and door to a WC with small basin. To the left of the hallway a door opens to a large open plan living room with large window to the front with new freestanding woodburning stove set on a marble hearth. Sliding patio doors open to a conservatory with pitched polycarbonate roofing, French doors leading to the attractive side garden and decorative tile effect vinyl flooring. To the right of the hall a door opens to a sizeable open plan kitchen/dining room with large window to front, further window overlooking the rear garden and a door to the outside with wood effect laminate flooring. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a range of sage green and cream units with laminate worktops, tiled surrounds and an inset white enamel deep sink and a incorporates a Delonghi range style cooker with 5 ring gas hob and electric double oven, a slimline dishwasher and an upright fridge/freezer. A deep storage cupboard houses the new gas central heating combi boiler and has space and plumbing for a washing machine with shelving above.
Stairs rise with handrail to the first floor landing with access hatch to loft and doors leading to the two double bedrooms. The main bedroom has a window with lovely views looking towards countryside in the distance and access to large eaves storage either side of the room and an open wardrobe. In between the two bedrooms is the bathroom with panelled bath with shower mixer taps, WC, pedestal wash basin, ladder style radiator/towel rail and decorative tile effect vinyl flooring. Bedroom 2 also has access to eaves storage and a large window.

The front garden has hedging and walling to the boundary with gate leading to a pathway through a wooden arch to the front door with lawned areas with flower borders either side. A pathway wraps around to one side with a couple of steps up to a slightly raised paved area which has been recently landscaped to create a lovely seating area which has fencing and mature hedging which provides a good deal of privacy. The lower pathway runs adjacent to the property and leads to the garage with parking space in front. A gate from the front garden leads to a further garden area which wraps around the back of the kitchen and garage. This area is mainly laid to lawn with flower beds and corner gravelled seating area with panelled fencing surrounding.

The single garage has an up-and-over door, power, light and has space for a tumble dryer and has a wall mounted gas meter. There is hardstanding for one vehicle in front of the garage.

  • 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.
