This extended six-bedroom mid-terrace is presented as a turn-key buy-to-let with proven rental history and is aimed squarely at investors and landlords seeking student or HMO income near UEA and the N&N hospital. The property has been recently remodelled and extended to include a dramatic high-vaulted, open-plan lounge/diner/kitchen with skylight, plus an additional kitchen/utility — practical for multi-occupancy lettings.
Externally there is generous off-street gravel parking for around three cars, a freshly landscaped rear garden with sheds, and a sensible layout of six bedrooms, shower room, bathroom and cloakroom across thoughtfully finished living space. Recent improvements include double glazing, external insulation and modern heating via mains gas boiler and radiators; the property is offered freehold.
Important sale terms: this will be sold by Modern Auction and is subject to an undisclosed reserve price. Bidders must pay a non-refundable Reservation Fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600 including VAT) and additional auction administration costs (up to around £349 inc. VAT). Prospective buyers should complete their own due diligence and allow the 56-day completion timetable typical of this method.
Note the local context: the wider area is classified as very deprived with average crime levels and mixed local services. One bedroom is notably smaller than the others; room sizes are generally modest. The property is best suited to investors or professional landlords aware of the auction process and local rental market.
