This compact one-bedroom semi-detached home on Hetherset Close is offered with a sitting tenant, presenting an immediate income stream and estimated gross yield of about 7.7% at the current rent of £575pcm. The property sits on a small plot within the Havelock Park development and benefits from modern build standards (c.1996–2002), gas central heating and double glazing throughout.
Internally the layout is contemporary: an open-plan lounge, dining and fitted kitchen on the ground floor with a bathroom, and a mezzanine-style bedroom above. The arrangement maximises the 410 sq ft footprint and suits renters or a single occupant. Externally there is a lawned front area and a designated off-street parking bay, which add practical appeal in a development setting.
Buyers should note material considerations: the home is very small with only two main rooms and limited private garden/plot space. The property is in an area classified as very deprived with average crime levels; this influences long-term capital growth prospects. It is sold freehold and currently let, so vacant possession will depend on tenancy terms. Council tax band is not provided.
Overall this is a straightforward lettable asset for an investor seeking immediate rental income and low-maintenance, modern stock. Owner-occupiers seeking space, large gardens or strong neighbourhood uplift potential should weigh the size and local area profile before viewing.
