This is now an exceptional purchase and a very genuine offer. The house will be sold to the first person who exchanges at £145,000 instead of the previous advertised price of £175,000. We have realised that the house does need some work (well it is about 250 yrs old!!!), is listed as grade 2 and a mortgage complany would probably only lend up to 60% or 70%.
We own a very substantial lovely old "oak beamed" property in a very attractive village of Holybourne near Alton in the countryside of Hampshire England. The property was originally two houses , back to back, but is currently divided into three flats, each of which is quite substantial. Two of the flats are vacant (we live in one of them) and if rented out would generate an income of £475 and £575 per month. The third flat is occupied by an elderly couple who are sitting tenants and pay £140 per month.
The property as it stands can generate £1190 per month from the three existing flats. The property is large enough however to be converted into five, 2 bedroom flats, each of which would generate approx. £500 per month. This would give a monthly income of £2500.
Converting the property for use as a retirement home for the elderly would also be an excellent project in this village location. We think this would be an excellent purchase for someone overseas and we wanted to experiment by trying to sell this house over the Internet.

The size of the plot is 55ft by 110ft with the front of the building set back about 10ft from the pavement. I have produced a set of sketches that give a more detailed layout of the property. The following are available:
