A substantial Victorian mid-terrace arranged over lower ground, ground and first floors, this six-bedroom house has a proven history as a six-bed HMO in a prime Lewes Road student area. The property is chain free and offered with clear HMO potential for investors seeking strong rental returns close to universities and city centre transport links.
The accommodation includes six double bedrooms, a separate living room, two bath/shower rooms, a compact kitchen and a low-maintenance paved garden with side return. Two street entrances (including a lower-ground access) support flexible tenant layouts and circulation. Construction is solid brick with period features such as bay windows and decorative coving, but internal room sizes are typical for a Victorian terrace and overall plot is small.
The house requires cosmetic updating and more significant renovation in places; it has double glazing (install date unknown), an older boiler and solid walls likely without insulation. These factors present both costs and opportunity: straightforward modernisation could increase rent and occupancy, but budget for works and energy-efficiency improvements is needed.
For an investor targeting the student market this is a practical, well-located asset with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity and nearby amenities. For owner-occupiers or landlords seeking long-term stability, the property’s central location, freehold tenure and no onward chain are useful positives — but expect refurbishment expenditure and limited outdoor space.
