We have an amazing investment opportunity to purchase a portfolio of four cottages with courtyard gardens and an off-road parking area. The original building of the three terraced cottages (40,40a & 40b) was a peanut factory and the current owner converted the building into the beautiful cottages.
Our Vendor is retiring from his business and has given us the pleasure of selling his four rental properties in the sort after village of Weedon Bec.
Each cottage offers two double bedrooms a family bathroom courtyard gardens and parking to the rear, but each one is slightly different and has its own unique characteristics with original features. They are all ready to let with minimum or no works required.
Currently as we write these details three of the cottages are tenanted on notice to vacate. In our opinion the cottages are in demand and easy to re let. As they all have different features and slightly different layouts, we estimate the rents from £825 up to £950 per calendar month.
