Marvell House, Plymouth, Devon, PL4 9BQ

A modern studio in a prime PL4 location delivering an impressive 17% gross yield and long lease of 243 years. Tucked away in a really convenient central spot, within a short walk of the university, city centre, Barbican and train station, this smart first-floor studio is ideal for a buyer looking for something simple to add to your portfolio. The layout has been designed to make the most of the space, offering a bright open-plan feel that combines the kitchen, living and sleeping area.

From an investment perspective, the property is let agreed at £850 PCM, with new tenants due to move in early April via City Lets, providing immediate income from day one. This equates to £10,200 per annum, delivering an attractive gross yield of approximately 17% at the asking price of £60,000. The combination of a secured tenancy and strong return makes this a compelling, ready-made investment opportunity.

The kitchen is modern and practical, with integrated appliances and good worktop space everything you need without overcomplicating things.

There is also a separate shower room, finished in a clean, neutral style, keeping the overall feel low-maintenance and easy to manage.

The accommodation comprises:

Kitchen/Living Room: 3.84m x 4.88m (12’7” x 16’0”)
Shower Room: 1.89m x 2.40m (6’2” x 7’11”)
Total Area: approx. 18.7 sq m (202 sq ft)

Investment Snapshot
With an expected rental income of £185 per week (£9,620 per annum), this would produce an approximate 16% gross yield based on a £60,000 purchase.

For Plymouth where many investments sit closer to the 10–12% range  this represents a strong return, particularly for a property that’s ready to go.
