Speedy business for investor

Investor Richard Baker was delighted to find a tenant for his property at Redrow's idyllic development in Launceston, within just a month. But he wasn't surprised. The 41-year-old buy to let purchaser says the two bedroom coach house apartments at Stourscombe Vale in Cornwall are an obvious choice for tenants wanting affordable quality in a stunning location. Surrounded by miles of lush fields and rolling hills, Stourscombe is the ideal place for those wishing to escape to the peaceful tranquillity of the English countryside.

Richard said: "I showed the tenant around and he said "I want it!" within minutes. I knew the property would go as it has such wide appeal. I also received a higher rental income than anticipated, which was a bonus."

Hannah Newnes area sales manager for Redrow Homes South West, said:

"Stourscombe is right in the middle of the Cornish Countryside and the views are simply breathtaking.

"This peaceful atmosphere fortunately doesn't come with a price. It's situated just outside the old historic town of Launceston, which has a good selection of shops, supermarkets, pubs and restaurants.

"It also features amenities such as schools, doctor's, dentists and a library nearby with a retail park on the edge of the town.

"You can enjoy Stourscombe's country walks and varied leisure activities, and also it's a mere 30 minutes drive to Cornwall's beautiful unspoiled beaches."

If you are looking to invest, there are three and four-bedroom homes currently on release from £172,995. Phase four of the development is coming soon, which will feature two, three and four bedroom homes.
