Situated in central Headington, this four-bedroom mid-terrace offers immediate rental income — sold with tenants in situ and holding an HMO licence for four occupants. The property spans three floors with a modern kitchen/diner, an ensuite, and a private enclosed rear garden, plus off-street driveway parking. Its proximity to hospitals, Oxford Brookes University, and regular bus routes makes it highly lettable to sharers and students.
Constructed in the early 20th century with solid brick walls and double glazing, the house combines period form with some modern finishes. The compact overall footprint (approx. 1,131 sq ft) is arranged efficiently for four sharers; communal living space and a utility area support rental use. Council tax is described as affordable, and broadband and mobile signals are strong — practical benefits for tenants.
Important considerations for buyers: the property is sold with tenants in situ, so vacant possession will not be immediate. The building appears to have solid brick walls with assumed lack of cavity insulation — consider energy-efficiency upgrades. The particulars note that fixtures, fittings and services have not been tested and measurements should be verified; buyers should commission a full survey and confirm electrical/plumbing condition and HMO compliance details.
This is a clear investor proposition: steady income from day one in a well-connected, in-demand neighbourhood. For an owner-occupier the tenancy status and HMO setup could require further action. Overall, the house offers good rental potential combined with scope for energy and interior improvements to increase yield and long-term value.
