For sale for the first time since 1995, 11 Helland Gardens has had only two different owners since its construction in 1989. The property sits nicely within its plot, standing high at the head of a popular cul-de-sac, where one can look across Penryn's old town, Hillhead, and the viaduct to the south, and even as far as Tremough to the west. The garden would particularly appeal to families, pet owners, or anyone wishing to enjoy varied outdoor space, which includes a sunny terrace, level patio, lawned areas, and attractive dry-stone walling separating the tiered rear garden.

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).
