Smart Millerson Estate Agents are delighted to present this recently renovated two-bedroom first-floor apartment to the market. Situated within the heart of the popular village of Penwithick, this spacious home is offered for sale with no onward chain and vacant possession, making it an excellent purchase for first-time buyers, investors and those looking to downsize alike. Having recently undergone refurbishment, the property is ready for immediate occupation and offers an excellent buy-to-let opportunity, with a projected rental income of approximately £800 per calendar month, equating to an attractive yield of approximately 8.7%.
The accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming entrance hallway with doors leading to a generous lounge, two well-proportioned double bedrooms, a fitted kitchen and a family bathroom. The property offers well-balanced living accommodation throughout, with plenty of natural light and a practical layout suited to a range of purchasers.

The property is a repaired Cornish Unit and we have been advised that it is mortgageable, with a valid PRC Certificate in place.
