This exceptional two-bedroom townhouse sits within The Mews at Herringswell Manor, a private gated development set in about 8.4 acres of landscaped grounds. The property was sensitively refurbished in 2022 to a premium specification and offers a large open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner that opens onto a full-width balcony — a strong attractor for renters or buyers seeking modern, low-maintenance living in a rural setting with good road links to the A11/A14.
Financially this property has clear investment appeal. Guidance indicates a potential rent of around £1,380pcm (approximately 6.1% yield) and the vendor offers a special incentive of up to four years’ free service charge (maximum £15,668) payable on completion. The long lease (999 years) provides tenure security, and the home includes one allocated off-street parking space.
Buyers should note material running costs and constraints: the annual service charge is circa £3,917, heating is electric via room heaters (which can increase energy bills), and the EPC is D. Broadband is reported as very slow and the sale is a probate matter, which may limit available documentation and responsiveness to queries. These factors are important for landlord cashflow or owner-occupiers who rely on fast internet and lower-cost heating.
Overall, this townhouse suits investors seeking a ready-to-let, high-spec product in a quiet gated estate or buyers who prioritise secure, contemporary rural living and a low-maintenance home with outside space. The property’s drawbacks are straightforward and quantifiable, making it simple to model for rental returns or budget for running costs.
