Description
Ground Floor
A welcoming hallway gives access to the principal reception rooms. To the front lies a superb living room with parquet flooring and a wood-burning stove set within an exposed stone hearth. Opposite is a bright and spacious dining room, also with parquet flooring and a decorative fireplace. The modern kitchen is fitted with a smart range of shaker-style units, granite worktops, and a Rangemaster cooker with a striking fuchsia splashback; French doors open onto the garden terrace. This room also benefits from underfloor heating, providing comfort beneath the attractive slate flooring. A rear hallway leads to a stylish ground floor cloakroom, a home office or third reception room has French doors leading onto the garden, and a utility room with exterior access.
First Floor
The first floor is arranged around a central landing and comprises three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features twin fitted wardrobes and a decorative fireplace, while bedroom two also offers generous space and natural light. The third bedroom would suit a child, guest or as a dressing room. The family bathroom is beautifully fitted with a freestanding double ended bath, walk-in rainfall shower, and contemporary tiled walls and flooring - all enhanced by the luxury of underfloor heating.
Outside
The rear garden is a delight-completely enclosed and thoughtfully landscaped with lawn, paved entertaining terrace, raised borders, and a well-stocked array of flowering plants and shrubs. A pergola provides shelter over the patio, making this a garden to be enjoyed year-round. A detached garage (measuring 5.51m x 3.27m) is located just beyond the garden, accessed via double gates, and offers excellent storage or workshop potential.
Situation
Barossa Place is ideally positioned within walking distance to The Torpoint Ferry, sea front, town's amenities, schools and transport links, yet enjoys a surprisingly peaceful setting. The surrounding area offers easy access to local beaches, scenic countryside, and a range of recreational opportunities.

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).
