Semi-detached house

Property Description:

Enjoying a well regarded cul-de-sac location is a particularly attractive late Victorian three storied semi-detached residence which has been superbly converted into two well equipped self-contained flats which have just recently become vacant.

The property successfully run for over 30 years by the current owners who have clearly well maintained the property. The ground floor two double bedroomed flat was previously let at £525 per calendar month (£6,300 per annum) and the three double bedroomed flat located on the first and second floors was previously let at £700 per calendar month (£8,400 per annum). In our opinion there is potential for reconfiguration to the upper flat subject to the usual building regulations and this could provide scope for further rental increase.

The combined income of the two flats was a total of £14,700 per annum, this would represent a 7.7% return on the current guide price and will provide a potential landlord an easy to manage property.

Alternatively the property could easily be converted into a superb family home subject to the usual planning and building regulations.

The property occupies a very popular and convenient residential location, situated just off the popular Burton Road and yet within walking distance of a superb range of amenities.

The sale provides a genuine opportunity for a discerning purchaser looking to acquire a versatile property offered for sale at a very attractive guide price along with the added benefit of immediate vacant possession.
