1. Talisman Cottage, Looe – £140,000 | Approx. yield: 5.8% (£675pcm)

This quirky and deceptively spacious two-bedroom end-terrace cottage offers something truly unique. Its unusual layout, private outdoor space, and character features make it an appealing choice for holiday lets or long-term tenants. Available to cash buyers only due to flying freehold status, it represents a fantastic opportunity for those looking to secure a property in a popular Cornish location with strong demand.

2. Gate Lodge, Exmouth – Multi-unit income | Approx. yield: 5.7%+ (combined)

This impressive five-bedroom detached home comes with a fully self-contained two-bedroom annexe, currently operating as a successful Airbnb. The main house features generous living space and a landscaped garden, while the annexe earns around £2,000pcm during peak season. Perfect for those looking to combine lifestyle with income or tap into the growing holiday let market in Exmouth.

3. Fore Street, Budleigh Salterton – £3,950pcm rental income

"Pebbles" is a rare chance to acquire a detached town centre residence in one of Devon’s most desirable seaside towns. Recently refurbished to a very high standard, this home benefits from unrivalled views across the Budleigh Salterton coastline and offers premium letting potential in the luxury short- or long-term rental market. A standout investment with an excellent income stream and capital appreciation potential.

4. Hannafore Lane, West Looe – Price on enquiry | Renovation potential

Located in the highly sought-after area of West Looe, this charming property offers huge potential for the right investor. In need of renovation, it presents a blank canvas to create a desirable coastal home, holiday let or long-term rental. With strong local demand and sea views nearby, the potential capital growth makes this a great project with long-term rewards.

5. Palm Close, Exmouth – £225,000 | Approx. yield: 5.86% (£1,100pcm)

This modern two-bedroom mid-terrace home is set in a popular residential area close to schools, shops, and transport links.
