An established end-of-terrace HMO with C4 use and a 16-year rental history, this five-bedroom property is geared for buy-to-let investors targeting students or sharers. Located just 1.2 miles from Bournemouth University, the house offers steady demand and a potential rental income of around £30,000 per year. Sale can include existing tenancy and furniture, allowing immediate rental continuity.
Inside, five generous bedrooms are arranged over two floors with a large open-plan kitchen/living room, a ground-floor WC and a modern shower room upstairs. The layout suits communal student living and provides straightforward management. The property has double glazing (installed before 2002), gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and a filled cavity wall construction (1950s–60s build).
Outside benefits include a large front driveway for off-street parking and a low-maintenance private rear garden. The overall plot is small, and the total internal area is modest (around 1,111 sq ft), so space is efficient rather than expansive. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong in the area.
Important considerations: the neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime and sits within a deprived wider area classification, which can affect tenant profiles and insurance costs. The property was last let continuously and may require regular maintenance or periodic updates; double glazing predates 2002. Prospective buyers should review tenancy terms if purchasing with tenants in situ.
