This Victorian mid-terrace in Fallowfield is arranged over four floors with five bedrooms and two bathrooms, currently operating as a student HMO. It is let for the 2025/26 academic year at £2,318 pcm (exclusive of bills), making it immediately income-producing for a buy-to-let investor. The property offers clear scope to add value—especially by upgrading internal finishes, improving energy performance, or developing the cellar into additional usable space.
The house retains period character externally with a red-brick bay front but the frontage and garden are neglected and require maintenance. Internally rooms are generally average sized and some areas show signs of modernization need: laminate flooring, dated kitchen and bathrooms, and likely limited wall insulation given original solid-brick construction. EPC rating D and assumed no cavity insulation are factors to consider for running costs and future compliance.
Practical positives include a private garden, a cellar with conversion potential, mains gas central heating, double glazing, and excellent mobile and broadband signals—useful for student tenants or hybrid-working occupants. The location is a short walk from bus routes into central Manchester and close to parks and amenities popular with students, which supports letting demand.
Key negatives: the property sits in a deprived area classification, has a small plot and an overgrown front garden, and will benefit from energy-efficiency and aesthetic improvements. For an investor comfortable with light-to-medium refurbishment, this house offers strong rental yield prospects and value-add opportunities; for an owner-occupier it provides flexible space but will require work to modernise and improve comfort and running costs.
