This first-floor, one-double-bedroom apartment in Retford is marketed as an investor opportunity, offering an approximate gross rental yield of 7.4% at the asking price. The 517 sq ft interior includes an open-plan kitchen/living/dining area, one double bedroom and a bathroom, presented in a modern, neutral finish and rated EPC C (74). The freehold tenure, mains gas heating, double glazing and fast broadband make the home straightforward to manage.
Practical benefits include a single allocated parking space directly outside and a handy single garage at ground level — useful for storage or additional rental appeal. The location is a short walk from Retford town centre amenities, restaurants and boutiques, with easy road links and direct rail services to London Kings Cross at selected times.
Material considerations are clear: the apartment is compact with a single-aspect elevation and no private garden, limiting appeal to downsizers or couples rather than families. The property is to be sold with a tenant in situ on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy, so immediate owner-occupation may not be possible. Local crime statistics are above average, which investors should factor into rental pricing and insurance costs.
Overall this is a well-presented, low-maintenance rental unit in an affluent area of Retford. It suits buy-to-let investors seeking an income-producing asset with good transport links and added value from private parking and a garage, while buyers seeking larger living space or outdoor private amenity should look elsewhere.
