This substantial five-bedroom semi-detached house has been freshly renovated and configured as a high-yield HMO, with each bedroom served by its own en-suite — ideal for investor portfolios targeting shift workers and professionals. The property sits on a large plot with a multi-car driveway and a detached double garage, offering immediate rental capacity and flexible external space for tenant parking or storage.
The interior is modern and practical: an open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining area, double glazing throughout, and mains gas central heating. Tenure is freehold and council tax is low, which helps running costs. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support multiple occupiers working from home or shift patterns requiring reliable connectivity.
Material considerations are upfront: the property sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime rates, and the building is on a historic coalfield with mining-related activity in the locality. The solid brick construction likely lacks cavity wall insulation (assumed), contributing to an EPC rating of D — further insulation work could reduce running costs and improve appeal. These factors should be weighed against projected rental yields and short-term occupancy demand from nearby industrial and distribution employers.
Overall, this is a ready-to-let, income-focused opportunity for investors willing to manage area-related risks and consider medium-term efficiency upgrades. For landlords seeking a turnkey HMO near major employment hubs, the combination of five en-suites, sizeable external space and renovated accommodation delivers immediate letting potential.
