INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY! - Exceptionally rare investment opportunity in the heart of Tiverton - Already fully tenanted and generating an income of more than £125,000 pa, Ford House is a stunning development of 18 self- contained flats. Set within beautiful grounds of nearly an acre and fully refurbished to a high specification in circa 2011, and subsequently in [ 2021/ 2022].
Additionally planning permission has been granted for two additional flats in the attic space and there is also the scope to build two new houses within the gardens (STNC) .
Offering a host of possibilities, the extra attic flats will be available to buy separately, and while the existing accommodation can either be sold as one complete property or split between several investors the impressive grounds offer further potential to develop and is open to separate negotiation. Perfectly placed for tenants merely moments from the high street and local schools, its selection of studio, one and two bedroom homes benefit from a secure Entryphone system and a service lift to all floors.

Tiverton is a thriving Mid-Devon Town offering excellent employment opportunities whilst the town offers numerous superstores including Tescos, Morrisons and Lidl. Tiverton Parkway mainline station is situated within a 6-mile drive with direct links to London Paddington with the A361 (North Devon link road) linking up with the M5 from which Taunton and Exeter can be easily reached and Exeter city airport can be reached within half an hour and Tiverton Golf Club and Football/Rugby and leisure centres are all within easy reach.

Step Inside - Sitting adjacent to the Grade I listed 17th century architecture of the original Blundell's School, Ford House looks out onto the tranquillity of nearly an acre of glorious gardens that have ample scope to incorporate two houses (STNC). Dating back to 1891, today this detached and purposed built complex offers an incredibly rare investment proposition for this historic Devon town and provides a superb work/life balance to its tenants.

Fully refurbished to a commendable specification both inside and out in circa 2011, and subsequently in [ 2021/ 2022]. The 18 self-contained flats pepper a magnificent three storey layout that unfolds over 7608 sq ft. Fully tenanted and currently generating an annual income of over £125,000, planning permission has already been granted to extend its considerable accommodation further still with two additional flats in the existing attic. This is an outstanding chance to acquire the entire 18 flats as one single lot with the added option to buy the attic flats and garden houses separately. It's good to note however that the development could also easily be divided between 2 or 3 individual investors if needed.

Behind a distinguished double fronted facade, notably maintained communal hallways flow from a central hallway instantly hinting at the sense of space on offer and generating an inviting first impression to tenants. A communal lift and staircases give easy access to each floor for all demographics and each flat benefits from a secure entryphone system and electric heating.

Filled with light, modern and stylish, the considered refurbishment of each abode included new kitchens, bathrooms and carpeting, as well as double glazing and interior doors, and each and every flat is arranged to allow the beautifully kept communal gardens to add an idyllic backdrop. Collectively and individually, their stylish yet functional layouts have been cleverly designed to maximise space and produce an admirable quality of life.

Stretching out across the full depth of each floor, 10 one bedroom and 2 two bedroom homes open onto covered private balconies that lend enviable extensions of their generous open plan kitchen/living rooms, while 6 studio apartments enhance the appeal of this period property to a wide spectrum of future tenants.

Tastefully chosen and made by the bespoke manufacturer Raynsford Furniture, the kitchens are supremely well appointed with refined Shaker cabinetry topped with sleek contemporary countertops combining to produce a wealth of storage and workspace. Their array of integrated appliances provides every convenience for today's modern lifestyle while the attention to detail is reflected in the cohesive finishing touches. Living spaces are ideally sized to both relax and entertain, and bath/shower rooms all have high quality white suites.

Step Outside - Beautifully framed by statuesque trees the capacious communal gardens of Ford House elevate its appeal to tenants providing a breath-taking wow factor and giving them a heavenly retreat to recline in the summer sun, enjoy al fresco entertaining and allow children to play.

These exceptional grounds include 2 allocated parking spaces that are an added plus point for some, while the central location of being merely a leisurely stroll to the hubbub of the high street means that the majority of people looking to rent a flat in Ford House have no need for a vehicle.
