Previously HMO licensed — suited to student or professional lets
Victorian features: high ceilings, bay windows, red brick facade
Central High Street location near university, station, hospital, amenities

High local crime and very deprived area — affects management and yields
Freehold mid-terrace, built before 1900, requires modernisation
This substantial Victorian mid-terrace offers flexible accommodation in the heart of Aberystwyth’s busy High Street. Arranged as a ground-floor one-bedroom flat and a five-bedroom maisonette above, the property totals about 1,717 sq ft and previously held an HMO licence, making it immediately attractive to investors seeking student lets or landlords wanting ready rental income.
Period features include high ceilings, bay windows and red brick facades that give strong character and curb appeal. The layout can also be reverted into a single family home if preferred. Its central town location puts the train station, university, hospital and a wide range of shops, bars and cafes within easy walking distance — a genuine convenience driver for students and professionals.
Buyers should be aware of material issues: the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and the building will benefit from modernisation throughout. There are only two bathrooms serving six bedrooms, which limits immediate capacity without refurbishment. The local area records high crime and significant deprivation, factors that will influence rental yields, management needs and prospective tenant profiles.
For an investor, the asset offers clear upside through refurbishment, re-licensing as an HMO and upgrading heating, glazing and insulation to improve rents and energy performance. For an owner-occupier or family, the house offers spacious period rooms and flexibility but will require a committed renovation programme to deliver modern standards and comfort.
