Summary - 18 MARLBOROUGH ROAD BANBURY OX16 5DB
9 bed 4 bath House of Multiple Occupation
Ready‑income nine-bed HMO close to Banbury town centre and transport links.
- Nine bedrooms across five floors, currently run as an occupied HMO
- Two kitchens and four bathrooms providing tenant flexibility
- Freehold sale to landlords only, income-producing now
- Rear garden for communal use; small external space
- EPC D (64) with potential improvement to C (80)
- Area classified as very deprived with very high crime
- Solid brick walls likely uninsulated; energy upgrades may be needed
- Council tax and running costs reported as expensive
A substantial Victorian end‑terrace converted as a nine-bedroom HMO across five floors, offered freehold and sold to landlords only. The property is fully occupied and producing income now, with two kitchens (ground and second floor) and four bathrooms — a ready-made rental operation for an experienced investor.
The house combines period character (arched windows, high ceilings) with some modern fittings, including a contemporary ground-floor kitchen opening to a small rear garden. At 2,547 sq ft the internal floorspace is generous for a town-centre HMO and layout flexibility could allow reconfiguration to increase yields.
Notable risks are factual: the area is listed as very deprived with very high recorded crime, and the property sits on a small plot with on‑street parking only. Energy performance is currently D (64) with advised potential to improve to C (80). Council tax and running costs are described as expensive. Walls are solid brick and assumed uninsulated — improvements may be needed to meet future regulatory or tenant expectations.
This is a practical, income-generating buy for landlords wanting an operational HMO in Banbury close to transport and town amenities. It suits investors comfortable managing multi-storey houses and addressing typical period‑property maintenance or energy-upgrade work.
