5 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Proven student let with immediate rental potential and low running costs.
Five bedrooms with two en suites and family bathroom
Proven long‑term student let; investment-ready income history
Fully enclosed rear garden and driveway plus single garage
Small overall footprint (≈883 sq ft); compact internal rooms
Exterior and garden currently unkempt; requires external maintenance
System‑built walls likely without insulation; consider retrofit costs
Area is very deprived with above‑average crime; affects tenant mix
No onward chain; freehold title and very low council tax
This five-bedroom semi-detached property on Malbrook Road has a proven track record as a successful student let and is offered freehold with no onward chain. Two bedrooms have en suites, there’s a separate bathroom and a fully enclosed rear garden — practical features for shared occupancy and lettings.
The house is a post‑war, system-built property of modest overall size (approximately 883 sq ft) that will suit an investor experienced with student lets or a buyer seeking a rental income. There is a garage and driveway, but the exterior and garden are currently unkempt and will need attention to maximise kerb appeal and rental value.
Buyers should note the property is in a very deprived area with above-average crime and basic local services; this underpins rental demand for affordable student accommodation but may deter other tenant types. The construction is likely uninsulated system build and internal space is compact — consider an energy and structural survey before purchase.
Fair positives include fast broadband, mains gas heating, double glazing installed post‑2002, and very low council tax costs. The price and proven rental history create clear upside for an investor prepared to carry out external maintenance and minor upgrades.
