SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION
Set within a well-proportioned and versatile property, Connells are delighted to bring to the market this fantastic investment opportunity, formerly a substantial five-bedroom residence that has now been thoughtfully converted into two self-contained flats. This impressive property offers immediate income generation and a strong yield of approximately 10.4%, making it an ideal purchase for investors seeking a ready-made addition to their portfolio.
What truly sets this property apart is the stability and reliability it provides.

There is no need to source new tenants or endure void periods, allowing a seamless transition for any buyer looking to maximise returns immediately.
The property itself is well located, within easy reach of local shops, amenities, and transport links, ensuring continued tenant demand. Its convenient positioning further enhances its investment appeal, as properties in such accessible locations remain consistently sought after.

Ground Floor Flat 
The ground floor flat is well laid out and generously proportioned, providing comfortable living accommodation throughout. Upon entering, tenants are welcomed into a bright and spacious lounge area, offering ample room for both relaxation and dining. The lounge benefits from natural light, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. The flat features two bedrooms, making it particularly attractive for sharers, couples, or small families, thereby broadening its rental appeal.
In addition to the bedrooms, the ground floor flat includes a well-equipped kitchen, fitted with a range of units to cater for everyday living needs. The layout ensures functionality while maintaining a practical flow between the living spaces. A bathroom serves the property, providing essential facilities in a convenient and accessible setting. One of the added advantages of this flat is its own allocated parking space, a valuable feature that enhances both tenant convenience and overall desirability.

First Floor Flat 
Moving to the first floor flat, this self-contained unit offers a well-balanced arrangement of living space, ideal for single occupants or couples. The flat comprises a generous bedroom, providing a comfortable and private retreat. There is also a separate kitchen, allowing for independent meal preparation and adding to the practicality of the accommodation.
The first floor flat also benefits from its own shower room, designed to meet modern living requirements with an efficient and easy-to-maintain layout. The overall design of the flat makes excellent use of the available space, ensuring a functional yet comfortable living environment.

Summary 
Both flats have been configured to operate entirely independently, creating a clear separation between the two units while maximising rental potential. This dual-income setup is particularly attractive to investors, as it diversifies rental streams and reduces overall risk.
From an investment standpoint, this property is a standout opportunity. With a strong yield of 10.4%, it offers an impressive return compared to many traditional buy-to-let investments. The presence of established tenants further strengthens the proposition, as the property is already performing and generating income without any initial setup or marketing required.
The surrounding area continues to support the property’s appeal, with a variety of local shops, services, and amenities all within close proximity. Transport links nearby provide easy access to surrounding towns and areas, ensuring convenience for occupants and maintaining strong rental demand.
This property is perfectly suited to investors looking for a turnkey investment, where everything is already in place to deliver a steady and reliable income. It also offers potential for future growth, whether through rental increases over time or further enhancement of the property, subject to any necessary consents.
