Presented as a five-bedroom HMO currently let to five students, this three-storey semi-detached property is offered freehold and generates a gross annual income of £25,465. Located within walking distance of Worcester University, it suits investors seeking an established student let with immediate rental return.
The house retains period character (c.1900–1929) with red brick construction, bay windows and a second-floor master bedroom with pleasant views. Accommodation includes a fitted kitchen with separate utility, two shower rooms (ground and first floors), and gas central heating with double glazing throughout. A small courtyard at the rear provides outdoor space and pedestrian access to Lambert Road; off-street parking is available at the front.
There are some clear maintenance and compliance considerations. The property has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, an EPC rating of E, and internal areas such as the hallway and staircase need modernisation. These factors present both refurbishment costs and potential to increase rental value post-upgrade.
For an investor focused on student lets, the property’s proximity to the university, established tenancy and good broadband/mobile connectivity are strong positives. The layout and size are suitable for continued HMO use, but prospective buyers should allow budget for energy efficiency improvements and cosmetic modernisation to maximise long-term value.
