This mid-terraced three-bedroom home on Edgeworth Road offers clear investor appeal thanks to its location near the University of East Anglia and the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. With double glazing, gas central heating and a private rear garden with outbuilding, the property is lettable as-is and has straightforward conversion potential for a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO).
The accommodation is traditional and largely original in style: an elongated lounge, kitchen, three first-floor bedrooms and a single bathroom. The house requires cosmetic modernisation—1970s-style finishes and dated fittings remain—so buyers should budget for updating to maximise rental income or resale value.
Important practical points: the property is freehold, offered with no onward chain, includes off-street parking and has a low council tax band. However, the local area has higher crime and high deprivation indicators, and the plot is small, which may affect tenant demand and long-term capital growth compared with less challenged neighbourhoods.
Overall this is a practical, well-located investment with immediate income potential and clear scope for value-add refurbishment. Buyers seeking a refurb-and-rent project close to UEA or a purchaser aiming to convert to HMO should prioritise a full inspection and consider safety, security and local lettings demand when assessing projected returns.
