This mid-terrace property on Gerard Avenue is arranged over two storeys with four lettable bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, shared lounge and one bathroom — a straightforward layout for a buy-to-let or HMO conversion. The house is offered freehold and sits close to Warwick University, Cannon Park and local transport links, which supports steady rental demand from students and young professionals.
The interior is practical and mostly modern: a fitted kitchen with integrated oven and gas hob, double-glazed windows and a fitted bathroom. The rear paved garden and outbuilding provide low-maintenance outdoor space. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — advantages for multiple occupants or managed rental lets.
There are some material drawbacks to factor into acquisition costs. The property is in a very deprived area with above-average crime statistics; this can affect tenant turnover and management needs. The building dates from the late 1960s/1970s and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy upgrades may be required to improve EPC and reduce running costs. Images note roof wear and general cosmetic updating is likely to bring the property to market standard.
In short, this is a compact, lettable terrace with clear rental appeal near university and shopping amenities. It suits investors seeking an income-producing asset with potential for modest refurbishment and energy improvements, but be prepared for management considerations linked to the local area and some immediate maintenance work.
