Property Description

Every element of this home has been thoughtfully designed to maximise space and comfort.

The ground floor features a welcoming living-dining room that flows into a modern kitchen and a recently fitted bathroom with a full-sized bath and overhead shower. The kitchen and bathroom were installed by the current owner and finished to a high standard.

Upstairs, you’ll find two generously sized double bedrooms, both with bespoke built-in storage space. The principal bedroom also benefits from a custom-designed fold-out desk - perfect for those who work from home but don’t want to lose valuable living space.

Throughout the home, under-stair sliding drawers, cleverly placed shelving, and bespoke carpentry ensure that every corner of the cottage is put to good use. To the side of the property, the private courtyard garden is bathed in sunlight, offering the perfect setting for a lazy afternoon cocktail or a summer evening BBQ with friends.

This property presents great potential to be a successful holiday let. Local Holiday Let and Air BnB host company Airready have valued the property at achieving £127 per night Midweek (Sunday – Thursday) and £139 per night on Weekends (Friday – Saturday). Working at a 65% occupancy rate this equates to £30,859pa, a 12.85% yield.

This is a turnkey home in a special location, whether you’re looking for a low-maintenance first home, a central spot to downsize into, or a strong-yielding Air BnB or holiday let investment.
