Key features
- Rare investment opportunity in central Glastonbury. Portfolios of this scale and location seldom come to market, offering a unique chance to secure a well-established rental asset.
- Eight one- and two-bedroom flats, all currently let on ASTs. A mix of layouts across three interconnected buildings, each unit self-contained and income-generating from day one.
- Five garages included, let separately for additional income. These provide further monthly revenue, with potential for rent reviews or reallocation to tenants for added appeal.
- Gross annual rent of £61,020, with a yield of approx. 5.5%. A healthy return in a consistently strong local market, with scope to enhance returns through modest upgrading.
- Walking distance to High Street, Glastonbury Tor, and key local amenities. An ideal location for tenants, offering convenience and lifestyle appeal in equal measure.
- Ideal long-term portfolio asset in a popular and resilient rental market. Strong ongoing demand, low void risk, and Glastonbury’s growing popularity make this an excellent long-term holding.
Description
This is an ideal turnkey opportunity for buy-to-let investors seeking a well-established income stream in a popular and culturally rich Somerset town. With potential for modernisation, reconfiguration, or uplift in rental values over time, this investment holds both immediate appeal and long-term scope. Opportunities of this scale and central location are exceptionally rare in Glastonbury.

The town is home to a vibrant arts and music scene and is well-connected to surrounding centres including Wells, Street, and Shepton Mallet. Millfield Preparatory School lies just to the east at Edgarley, with the senior school in nearby Street, also home to Clarks Village outlet shopping. For commuters, Castle Cary station is approximately 11 miles away and provides a mainline rail service to London Paddington, while the A39 and A361 offer easy road links through Somerset. Bristol International Airport is approximately 25 miles to the north.
