This five-bedroom semi-detached property in Headington offers a ready-made income stream and clear future upside. Currently let under a five-person HMO licence with a fixed rent of £2,900 pcm until September 2026, it will appeal to landlords seeking immediate cashflow within easy reach of Oxford city centre and hospital hubs.
The house retains mid-20th-century character with a traditional brick exterior, double glazing and gas central heating. Accommodation is arranged over two floors with an open-plan sitting/dining area, separate kitchen, five bedrooms, a shower room and two separate WCs. Off-street driveway parking and a decent rear garden add practical value for tenants or future owner-occupiers.
Notable considerations are straightforward and factual: the property is described as small overall, some external areas and the driveway need cleaning or minor maintenance, and the building’s solid brick walls appear uninsulated as originally built. Crime levels in the immediate area are above average and the neighbourhood has a strong student/cosmopolitan profile — factors that may influence tenant mix, insurance costs and long-term capital growth.
For investors, the guaranteed rental until 2026 reduces void risk and simplifies cashflow planning. For buyers looking to occupy, the property offers scope to reconfigure or refurbish to modern standards, but any purchaser should allow budget for cosmetic updating and potential insulation improvements to meet contemporary energy expectations.
