Summary - 172 BURSCOUGH STREET ORMSKIRK L39 2EY
5 bed 2 bath Terraced
Turn-key 5-bed student terrace near Edge Hill University, ideal for buy-to-let portfolios..
Five bedrooms across two floors, over 1,000 sq ft
A ready-made rental with proven income history, this five-bedroom Victorian terrace in Ormskirk spans just over 1,000 sq ft and is arranged across two floors for flexible student or sharer occupancy. The ground floor offers a bright lounge, modern kitchen with integrated oven and hob, a double bedroom and two practical shower rooms, while four further bedrooms are on the first floor.
The property is freehold with low-maintenance front and rear outdoor areas and straightforward communal spaces that keep running costs minimal. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the location is within easy reach of Edge Hill University, rail links and town amenities — a clear draw for student demand.
Notable drawbacks: the plot and rooms are relatively small and the neighbourhood records above-average crime, which may affect tenant mix and insurance or management costs. The current layout and fixtures suit student occupation; investors looking for family or higher-end tenants should factor in refurbishment and potential reconfiguration costs.
Overall this house suits landlords seeking a turn-key student-let addition to a portfolio or buyers wanting rental-ready accommodation close to university facilities. It offers immediate letting potential but expect modest yields if you plan substantial upgrades or alternative uses.
