Summary - 17 BAYSWATER ROAD PLYMOUTH PL1 5BU
4 bed 2 bath Terraced
Chain-free Victorian terrace with basement flat and roof terrace — ideal for investors near the university.
Self-contained one-bedroom basement flat with private courtyard
A versatile mid-terrace period property arranged as a main three-bedroom house plus a self-contained one-bedroom basement flat with its own entrance and courtyard. The roof terrace and separate garden space add rental appeal and private outdoor space in a central location close to the university and city centre.
Presented in good condition with an updated kitchen and double glazing, the property has a proven lettable layout and has previously produced strong rental income. Chain free freehold ownership and fast broadband make it straightforward for an investor to re-let quickly or operate as a house-share for students and professionals.
Be upfront about the material negatives: the EPC is rated D and the building’s original granite/whinstone walls are assumed uninsulated, which could mean higher heating costs or future insulation works. The immediate area has high crime statistics and is classified as very deprived, so lettings and management should factor in demand, tenant vetting and possible added security measures.
Overall this is a practical, income-focused purchase for an investor or a landlord-occupier wanting central, nearby-university accommodation. The separate basement flat and roof terrace create clear short-term rental upside, while modest retrofit work (insulation, energy upgrades) could improve long-term returns.
