Summary - Elmhurst Road, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 RG1 5HY
6 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Licensed HMO with garden and conversion potential near university.
Licensed HMO in place until May 2026
A substantial six/ seven-bedroom Victorian semi-detached home offered chain-free and sold freehold. Previously licensed as an HMO (licence valid until May 2026), the house suits investors seeking ready-made rental income or buyers wanting to convert into a large family residence, subject to consent and modernisation.
The property retains period character including high ceilings, bay windows and fireplaces, and provides generous internal space across three storeys (approximately 2,094 sq ft). It sits close to the University of Reading, town centre, Royal Berkshire Hospital and the M4, making it well placed for students, professionals and hospital staff.
Practical considerations are clear: the house needs renovation throughout, the garage requires refurbishment, and heating/electrics and decoration will likely need updating. On-street permit parking is available and the rear garden is a useful, good-sized outside space. Council Tax Band F applies and should be factored into running costs.
Viewing is recommended for buyers who can take on refurbishment to unlock long-term value, whether maintaining HMO status, modernising for owner-occupation, or refurbishing and letting to multiple tenants.
