Sutton Kersh are delighted to present this distinguished Victorian villa, set within one of the area’s most prestigious conservation enclaves. Standing among similarly historic residences, the property combines architectural charm, historic significance and exceptional flexibility.
Originally commissioned in the 19th century for the town clerk and later home to a prominent shipping captain, the villa has long been associated with stature and prominence. Thoughtfully converted into apartments in the 1930s, and having provided accommodation for Canadian soldiers during the Second World War, the building offers a rich and compelling history.
Today, the accommodation comprises five well-proportioned apartments: Two one-bedroom apartments Two two-bedroom apartments One three-bedroom apartment
The property currently generates £63,000 per annum, equating to a gross rental yield of approximately 6.6% based on the asking price of £950,000, which represents a strong return for an asset of this value. In addition, there is scope to extend, reconfigure or alter the property, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, providing potential opportunities to further enhance rental income and capital value.
