Set directly opposite the De Havilland campus, this compact five-bedroom mid-terrace townhouse offers reliable rental appeal for investors targeting student lets. Arranged over three floors, the property currently operates as an HMO with five let bedrooms, one en-suite and a fitted kitchen/diner with integrated appliances and a convenient cloakroom. Two allocated parking spaces and a low‑maintenance rear garden add practical value in a city setting.
Constructed in the early 2000s, the home has modern fixtures, double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The layout provides six main rooms including a lounge and open-plan kitchen/diner; bedroom sizes are generous for a property of this footprint. Connectivity is strong—excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—supporting student and professional tenants.
Notable negatives are material and should guide buyer due diligence: the area records very high crime levels, and the immediate neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan student area which may limit appeal to some family markets. The property sits on a relatively small plot and internal circulation is compact. Council tax is above average, and any investor should confirm HMO licensing and compliance requirements before purchase.
For investors seeking an income-producing asset near university accommodation, this freehold townhouse offers straightforward management, low-external maintenance and two parking spaces. Buyers prioritising quiet residential living, larger gardens or lower-crime locations should weigh these limitations carefully.
