Summary - 160 LONDON ROAD NORTHAMPTON NN4 8AS
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
HMO investment near Delapre Abbey, close to university and town centre..
Five-bedroom HMO layout, ideal for student or shared tenancy
A five-bedroom semi-detached currently configured as an HMO, this freehold property sits directly opposite Delapre Abbey and its golf course, with Northampton town centre and the university within easy reach. The house totals about 982 sq ft, offers two bathrooms, a sizeable communal kitchen/living space and a usable rear garden — practical features for shared occupancy or a buy-to-let conversion.
The property is heated by a gas boiler and radiators, has UPVC double glazing (installed before 2002) and an Energy Efficiency Rating of C. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and mobile signal excellent, which supports multiple tenants and home-working. Council tax is low (Band B), helping running costs for landlords or occupiers.
Notable positives include location close to the university, generous communal kitchen, and a rear garden. However, the local area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates and a “hampered neighbourhoods” local classification — factors that will influence tenant demand, rental levels, and insurance or management costs. The glazing is older and there may be ongoing maintenance or modernisation required in parts of the house.
Suitability: this property will appeal to investors seeking a near-campus HMO, landlords targeting professionals or students, or buyers prepared to refurbish to increase rental value. The layout already supports multiple occupancy, so minimal structural change is required to let as a five-bedroom HMO, though budget for upgrades and tighter security measures is advised given the locale.
