Description

Interact with the virtual reality tour and call Forest Marble to arrange your viewing of this considerable semi-detached characterful family home. This 1930s period property has been extended from its original footprint to present as what is now a substantial house offering in the region of 1500 square feet of living space over two floors. The upper floor has four bedrooms, with en-suite facilities to main bedroom, whilst the ground floor has two reception rooms in addition to the 40 foot long kitchen diner and living space. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a home that, although potentially ready for some updating, is a flexible family home in an idyllic village setting.

What the Vendors Love
Our clients have spent 16 years at Petticoat Lane and have loved it from the very first. In the time they have spent here the house has seen three children grow up, all of whom attended the village primary school, and the whole family has enjoyed being being a part of this warm rural community. We are told that the first thing that struck our vendor was the space internally and quietness of the location; both of which had proved challenging to find previously. Local facilities such as the village farm shop and pub have been well used and of particular note is the annual 'Dilton Dash' that passes by the front door and is always a great event in the village calendar. Our clients will particularly miss the large garden that has served them brilliantly over their time here and hope that the next owners will take the home on and love it as they have.

Rent-driven metrics

Based on Area rent estimate.

Rent ratio 0.28%
Max investor price (0.8%) £132,375
Target investor price (1%) £105,900
  • 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).
