- Former HMO with flexible layout; potential for multi-let conversion
- Requires comprehensive renovation throughout; cosmetic and systems work

- Double glazing fitted before 2002; cavity walls filled
- Very high local crime and very deprived area — management considerations
- Small plot with front garden and some rear parking
- Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband suitable for rentals
A substantial mid-terrace property arranged over three floors, formerly run as an HMO with seven individual units. With six bedrooms and six bathrooms across approximately 2,380 sq ft, the house offers flexible layout options for a buy-to-let conversion, shared housing or large-family reuse.
The building requires a full renovation programme: cosmetic updating, systems inspection and likely refurbishment throughout. Practical positives include freehold tenure, mains gas boiler with radiator heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and filled cavity walls. There is small front garden and some off-street parking to the rear.
Location facts are mixed. The property sits in a city/major town setting with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for lettings — and several nearby schools rated Good. However, the local area records very high crime and very high deprivation; the wider classification is communal retirement and the local classification indicates constrained renters. Buyers should factor local market demand and management needs into yield calculations.
This is a clear refurbishment opportunity for an investor or an experienced developer willing to carry out comprehensive works. If retaining as HMO or creating multiple flats, confirm current planning and licensing requirements. For an owner-occupier wanting a project, the house delivers size and period character but will need significant investment to reach modern living standards.
