This recently renovated four-bedroom HMO on Sidney Street is configured for professional sharers and sits a short walk from Gloucester Hospital — a strong demand generator for rented rooms. The property offers four double bedrooms, four bathrooms, a communal living room, and a modern kitchen that opens onto a small, low-maintenance garden. Presented in good decorative order with double glazing and an EPC C, it’s ready to occupy or re-let with minimal immediate work.
For an investor the numbers look compelling: multiple en-suite bathrooms reduce shared facilities stress and the location close to the hospital supports steady tenant turnover and letting potential. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the property attractive to working professionals. The freehold tenure and very low council tax also help running-costs and returns.
Buyers should weigh the material drawbacks honestly. The house is a small, mid-terrace Victorian property with compact rooms and a small plot; it may not suit residents seeking generous living space. The walls are solid brick with no known insulation, so energy-efficiency gains would likely require further work. The local area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime, which may affect long-term capital-growth expectations and tenant mix.
Overall, this is a practical, income-focused investment in a popular lettings pocket near key local employers. It suits an investor or portfolio buyer seeking an HMO with immediate income and modest short-term maintenance, while accepting the trade-offs of size and local area profile.
