Summary - 5 MOUNT PLEASANT COTTAGES EGHAM TW20 0BH
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Close-to-campus rental with conversion upside and outside space.
Opposite Royal Holloway University — strong student rental demand potential
Positioned directly opposite Royal Holloway University, this Victorian two double-bedroom mid-terrace presents a clear opportunity for investors and owner-occupiers wanting rental potential near campus. The property already provides a large through lounge/diner, separate kitchen, utility area, and small front and rear gardens — useful for student tenants or sharers. Triple-glazed windows and gas central heating are in place, supporting comfort and letting appeal.
There is scope to increase bedroom numbers to match neighbouring conversions, which could materially raise rental income, but that will require planning and internal reconfiguration. The house is built of solid brick with assumed no wall insulation — adding insulation and some updating would improve energy performance and long-term running costs. On-street parking and a small plot are practical but limited features for buyers with cars or outdoor space priorities.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, average overall size (about 825 sq ft), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and a moderate council tax band. Note the local crime level is above average, which should be factored into lettings strategy and insurance costs. For an investor seeking a buy-to-let near a university, or a buyer prepared to upgrade and reconfigure, this cottage offers clear upside in a very affluent local area.
