Chain-free five-bed HMO near University and Hythe station—turnkey investment opportunity.
Five double bedrooms plus en-suite and ground-floor WC
This freehold mid-terrace townhouse is offered chain-free and presented as a five-bedroom HMO with a proven rental record, averaging £2,940 pcm. Its location in Hythe/Colchester places it within walking distance of the University of Essex, Colchester Town Centre and Hythe station, supporting steady tenant demand from students and young professionals.
Internally the house is arranged over three floors with five bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen, utility room, two bathrooms plus an en-suite and a ground-floor WC. The accommodation is compact rather than expansive, which suits multi-occupancy lettings and keeps running costs lower; finishes and condition are described as good and ready for continued rental use.
There are important practical limitations: the plot is small with pavement forecourt only and no private garden or substantial external amenity. The overall property footprint and room sizes are modest, and the wider area is described as deprived with average crime levels — factors to weigh against yield projections and management overheads.
For investors this is a turnkey HMO chance in a high-demand student/professional neighbourhood, offered with no onward chain and consistent occupancy. Prospective buyers should recheck measurements, verify the property’s licencing requirements, and confirm utility and service conditions before purchase.
