Super first home or rental investment

When the sun is setting and the kids are ready for dinner, why not spend your evening out on the covered deck while they scamper in the garden as the sausages sizzle on the barbeque.

This 1960s three-bedroom treasure has all the elements needed for an excellent first home or rental investment, in an exceptionally handy location. All on one level and with a north facing aspect, the living areas are warmed by a cozy log burner and heat pump with the efficient heat transfer system keeping the entire home at a comfortable ambient temperature in the cooler months.

The attractive kitchen has a stainless steel dish-drawer and the ever-popular gas cooking, and if not dining indoors, the privately screened deck will be entertainment central while the long hot summer continues. Three double bedrooms share a modernized bathroom and for bonus points a there is a second bathroom sharing the space in the laundry. A detached double garage is backed up by useful off-street parking spaces and the surrounding tidily maintained garden features mature trees, fenced child and pet-friendly lawns.

Close to the river and an easy stroll to pick up Friday fish and chips, with Mountview School just around the corner for the little ones in term time. Minutes to anywhere in this central location makes this decision a no-brainer to gain big in 2021.
