Description

We are delighted to offer for sale this modern two-bedroom Westbury built home on the popular Nordens Meadow development on the eastern edge of Wiveliscombe.

This property is the middle one of five and is set a little further back into the development, giving less passing traffic.

At the front of the property, there is a lawned garden with parking by the front door and a tiled canopy which gives access to the hall and kitchen with a practical laminate floor.

At the rear of the property, there is a lounge/dining room, cleverly configured by the current owners to accommodate a seatee and dining room table for six, there is also laminate flooring here.

At first floor level there is a large double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and carpets on the flooring and a second bedroom with two additional cupboards and a smart bathroom with walk-in shower.

At the rear of the property, there is a court-yard leading to a lawned garden and up to flower beds at the top of the garden which catches the sun all of the day. The property is very well presented and the garden is neatly landscaped.

To the side of the property approximately 30 yards away there is a single garage and additional parking for one vehicle in front of that.

There is gas fired central heating and double glazing windows.

  • 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.
