A vacant, five-double-bedroom mid-terrace in Abington offering immediate HMO potential or conversion to a spacious family home. The property’s Victorian bay-fronted façade, high room count and garage to the rear provide clear value to investors and landlords targeting student or professional lets. The long kitchen/diner and cellar add practical space, while a low-maintenance rear garden and garage accessed via the service road are useful extras.
Internally the house mixes period character — bay windows, feature fireplaces and timber floors — with a modern fitted kitchen. The layout currently supports an efficient shared-house tenancy (one shower room plus separate WC), but the single bathroom and EPC rating of E are material drawbacks that will require attention for some buyer types. Solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and an older EPC suggest potential improvement costs for energy efficiency upgrades.
This is a practical purchase for an investor or buyer comfortable managing short-term works: updating the shower room, improving insulation and possibly upgrading heating or glazing would lift tenant appeal and reduce running costs. The property is freehold, vacant and close to good schools and city amenities, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — positives for letting to students or professionals.
Be aware of higher-than-average local crime and the small overall plot size; however, the garage, parking via service road and convenient location in NN1 balance these issues. Pricing at £285,000 reflects the property’s condition and scope for straightforward enhancement to increase rental income or resale value.
