Summary - 51 GIRDLESTONE ROAD HEADINGTON OXFORD OX3 7NA
5 bed 1 bath Terraced
Let and income-generating HMO near Oxford Brookes — sold with tenant and rental uplift potential.
Sold freehold with tenant in situ (HMO) until 28/08/25
A compact five-bedroom mid-20th-century terraced house in Headington sold freehold with a tenant in situ. Currently let as a four-person HMO at £2,500pcm until 28/08/25, the property is advertised locally at £2,600pcm for the next academic year, giving a potential gross yield of about 7.8% at the asking price. Its location is convenient for Oxford Brookes, local hospitals and frequent bus links, making it well suited to students and healthcare workers.
The house is modest in size (approximately 1,065 sq ft) and presented in basic condition. It has one bathroom serving multiple bedrooms, double glazing of unknown age, mains gas boiler and radiators, and parking space to the front. Constructed circa 1930–1949 with system-built walls likely without insulation, the property may benefit from energy-efficiency upgrades and general maintenance to maximise rental value.
This is a straightforward let-and-hold investment: sold with tenant and known income, nearby schools and local amenities add lettability. Buyers should note the tenancy term, communal living layout constraints, and the single bathroom when assessing suitability for HMO use or potential conversion to alternative uses. Clear potential exists to increase rent to market levels after the current academic tenancy, subject to any required refurbishment and compliance checks.
