Description
Addington Court is part of Horseguards, a former barracks site redeveloped in 2000. It is arguably one of the most favoured and tucked away central locations. Shopping facilities, the main University campus, and the city’s two train stations for London connections are only minutes' walk away. Exeter is a thriving city with a highly rated and expanding University. It offers a wide choice of cultural, shopping and leisure facilities. It boasts a top flight rugby team and sporting facilities, and there are easy transport links on to the M5, and an International Airport.
The property itself is an end terraced house built over 2 floors with its own driveway parking and integral garage which can also be accessed from the inner hallway. Downstairs is a large living room with separate dining room, and off the kitchen are a downstairs WC and a utility room with door to the rear garden. The central staircase leads up to 4 bedrooms, two double and two single, the master bedroom having its own en-suite shower room. An airing cupboard contains the hot water tank and there is access to the loft space from the landing.
Outside, the property benefits from a well proportioned garden which is laid to lawn and has side access. Horseguards has well maintained communal gardens and there is a nearby playing area for children, with Exeter Cricket Club and Devon & Exeter Squash & Racketball Club also nearby.
A great opportunity to purchase an ideal family home, or equally a super investment opportunity. Early viewing is advised

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).
