Description
Both bedrooms are of a good size and bedroom one benefits from having an original feature fireplace. There is even potential for a loft conversion (STPP). When it's time to relax, the fantastic bathroom gives you the option of a long, hot soak at the end of a hard day or a refreshing blast in the separate shower.
On summer evenings, the garden is just the spot to set up your table and chairs, fire up the barbeque and have friends and family over to enjoy the sunshine. You won't need to worry about anyone treading mud through the house on winter days as the downstairs toilet is within easy reach of the garden.
The cottage is located close to bus stops with direct links into Dorking and Horsham, so getting to places isn't an issue.

What the Owner says:
We bought this cottage because we fell in love with the space and character. We have enjoyed spending time in the garden and, being the end cottage, it feels so private and peaceful with the woodland to the side. The easy access into Dorking has been great and we have often gone there to enjoy all the amenities it has to offer.
We're sure any new buyer will love all it just as much as we have and we will be sad to go.

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).
