A two-bedroom period semi-detached cottage in Starston offered with a long-standing tenant producing £675 pcm (£8,100 pa). Set back from the road on a private track, the property sits on a large plot of approximately a quarter acre (stms) with several outbuildings and off-street parking, offering clear scope for value-add refurbishment or conversion of the upper landing to create a third bedroom.
The cottage retains character features such as exposed beams and a traditional fireplace but requires modernisation throughout. Construction is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation and heating is by electric storage heaters. The property has a septic tank and double glazing fitted post-2002; these and the roof/roof coverings show signs of age and the garden is overgrown and will need maintenance.
Sold freehold by livestream auction (guide £100,000–£120,000) with an administration fee of £1,200 and buyer’s premium of £960 payable on exchange; purchasers should review the legal pack for disbursements. The property is tenanted on an AST and the tenant wishes to remain, providing immediate income but restricting vacant possession options on completion.
This is a clear opportunity for a buy-to-let investor or an owner-occupier prepared to carry out renovation work. The rural hamlet setting close to Harleston and nearby primary schools suits buyers seeking countryside living or a rental asset with upside from refurbishment or modest conversion.
