Summary - 53 GRAYS ROAD HEADINGTON OXFORD OX3 7PZ
6 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Established HMO with annex and strong rental income potential near hospitals and universities.
HMO-licensed main house for five tenants and separate one-bedroom annex
Current rental income £4,100 pcm (includes utilities; Council Tax excluded)
Off-street parking and decent plot size
Close to hospitals, universities — high tenant demand
EPC Rating D — energy efficiency upgrades likely needed
Overall internal size described as small for six bedrooms
Area records above-average crime — consider security measures
Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal
This semi-detached property on Grays Road is configured as an HMO with a five-bedroom licensed main house plus a self-contained one-bedroom annex — a setup designed to maximise rental income. Located close to major hospitals and university campuses, it benefits from consistently strong tenant demand in Headington’s prosperous rental market. Current monthly income is £4,100 (includes utilities; Council Tax excluded). The plot is decent with off-street parking and standard double glazing (install date unknown).
The building dates from the 1930s–1940s and has cavity-filled walls, mains gas boiler heating and a D EPC rating. These facts support immediate rental use but also highlight energy-efficiency limits. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, aiding letability for students, professionals and hospital workers.
Buyers should note material negatives: the EPC is D, the area records above-average crime, and the overall internal size is described as small — all factors that affect operating costs, tenant screening and long-term value. Council Tax is charged separately from the quoted rental income.
For an investor seeking hands-off income in Oxford, this property offers an established HMO layout, immediate cashflow and strong local demand. For owner-occupiers or those prioritising energy efficiency or low-crime locations, the property will require consideration of retrofit or security measures.
