Versatile long-term investment or family home near university and transport links.
Extended detached Edwardian house with character features
A substantial Edwardian detached house extended to provide flexible five-room accommodation over two floors. Currently operated as a long-standing student let with reliable income from Bournemouth University tenancy, the property includes four double bedrooms plus a small single, communal living space, kitchen with breakfast area and useful external utility/store. The driveway, garage and approximately 100ft rear garden are strong asset features for both investors and families.
The house presents clear refurbishment potential: the kitchen and some internal finishes are dated and the EPC rating is E, so buyers should budget for energy improvements and modernisation. Note the property is registered and operating as a 4-bedroom HMO and cannot be configured as a 5-bedroom HMO under current regulations.
For investors the location delivers continual demand from students and good access to main bus routes and local amenities; parking and generous garden space make the asset more versatile for broader lettings. For a family buyer the layout, popular local schools, and long garden create an attractive family home once modernised.
Buyers should allow for updating of services and cosmetic works; measurements, legal status and fixtures should be independently verified by survey and solicitor before commitment.
