A versatile five-bedroom semi in central Ormskirk, located a short walk from Edge Hill University and local amenities. Currently operating as a licensed HMO, the property offers strong rental potential with a reported potential gross return in excess of £30,000 at full occupancy. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are already installed, and the modern kitchen includes integrated appliances.
The house is a Victorian red-brick semi with period bay windows and a generous rear garden. Its freehold, chain-free status and city-town setting make it straightforward to acquire and prepare for tenants or owner occupation. The large plot and substantial room count provide scope for reconfiguration or refurbishment to increase value.
Notable practical points: the building dates from before 1900 and has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation, and the double glazing predates 2002. The area records relatively high local crime levels, which buyers should factor into rental pricing and security measures. Some updating and insulation improvements would likely improve energy performance and long-term running costs.
This property suits investors seeking an established HMO near campus, or buyers planning a renovation project with good rental demand. Viewings will best serve those focused on rental yield and refurbishment upside rather than turnkey family move-in condition.
