Prime HMO income potential near station and local amenities.
Seven/eight-bedroom detached Victorian property with high ceilings
A large Victorian seven/eight-bedroom property offered freehold with no onward chain — presented as an HMO and generating a gross income figure of £41,880 per year if every room is occupied. The house sits on a generous rear plot close to bus routes and the mainline station, making it straightforward to let to commuters and students. Period features include bay windows and high ceilings; double glazing was installed after 2002 and the building benefits from mains gas central heating.
Internally the layout supports multiple tenants: two kitchens, three bathrooms (two family bathrooms and a separate shower room) and six rooms fitted with wash hand basins. The accommodation is sizeable but dated in parts and will require modernization to maximise rental value and long-term appeal. The walls are assumed to be solid brick with no added insulation, which could mean higher heating bills and potential scope for thermal upgrades.
This is a clear investment proposition for a buyer experienced with HMOs or portfolio growth. Key selling points are the proven rental layout, immediate income potential, large garden and proximity to local amenities and transport. Material considerations: the income quoted depends on full occupancy, internal refurbishment/upgrades are likely required, and buyers should confirm HMO licensing and compliance costs, any remedial works and exact running expenses before purchase.
An internal viewing is recommended to assess condition, conversion or refurbishment potential, and to verify services and HMO compliance. For an investor willing to invest in updating and managing the property, this house offers strong rental yield potential in a well-connected area.
