Summary - 5 Avenue Road, Southampton, Hampshire, SO14 SO14 6BD
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large Edwardian semi near university — renovation opportunity with garden.
- Period bay front and high ceilings throughout
This handsome Edwardian semi-detached house offers generous room sizes, period features and clear rental potential close to the university campus. The layout includes two/three reception rooms and flexible upstairs space that can provide three double bedrooms plus a fourth bedroom or home office. A private, enclosed rear garden and a decent plot add outdoor space rarely found so close to the city centre.
The property requires renovation throughout, providing scope to add value through modernisation, reconfiguration or converting rooms to increase rental yield. There is a small area of damp in the ceiling likely caused by loose guttering; buyers should inspect and budget for repairs. Off-road parking may be possible to the rear subject to the necessary permissions.
Positioned in a cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, this freehold home suits investors seeking HMOs or landlords targeting student and professional tenants. Families could also adapt the layout, but will need to accept one bathroom for four bedrooms unless a second is created. Note the local area records higher-than-average crime; safety improvements and secure lettings measures are advisable.
Overall, the house is a solid period property with clear upside for someone prepared to renovate and manage location-specific considerations. Its combination of size, classic features and central location make it a practical candidate for refurbishment or conversion to maximise return.
