A five-bedroom mid‑terrace arranged over three floors, this freehold property is offered with an HMO licence and established rental appeal in a central, student-and-professional neighbourhood. The layout — large communal lounge, modern kitchen, two shower rooms, utility and five double bedrooms (one en‑suite) — is designed for multiple occupancy and straightforward management. A low‑maintenance rear courtyard offers storage and parking potential, useful for tenants or to boost rental value.
Internally the building presents a largely modernised finish in the living and kitchen areas, with double glazing, gas central heating and retained period features in some rooms. The combination of generous room sizes (circa 1,852 sq ft) and three storeys gives flexible living arrangements or easy conversion between HMO rooms and professional sharers.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property sits in an area of high crime and very high deprivation, which affects tenant mix and management requirements. The external walls are original granite/whinstone with no known insulation, and double glazing installation date is unknown — further checks on thermal performance and running costs are advised. Overall this is a clear income-focused opportunity for investors or landlords comfortable operating in a city centre, high-demand rental market.
