Summary - 15 ST JAMES STREET GLOUCESTER GL1 4JS
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Five rooms, studio and parking — investor-ready but needs updating and insulation work..
Registered HMO with separate self-contained studio
A registered HMO with a separate self-contained studio, this semi‑detached period property on St. James Street suits an investor seeking immediate rental income and future upsides. The house provides five lettable rooms across approximately 1,055 sq ft, off-street parking and a small garden — practical income drivers in a city location.
The accommodation is functional: a fitted kitchen, shower room, gas central heating and double glazing (installed before 2002). The building is older (pre-1900) with solid brick walls and limited insulation, so there is clear scope to improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs. The EPC at D57 reflects that opportunity.
Important considerations: the property sits in a very deprived area with higher local crime rates, and nearby schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes. Internally some finishes show wear and the home would benefit from targeted updating and insulation work to increase rents or resale value. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting modern tenants.
For an investor comfortable working in higher-demand, lower-cost neighbourhoods, this HMO with a separate studio and parking offers a strong, flexible income asset but requires sensible capital works and attentive management given the local social profile.
