A five-bedroom mid-terrace offered freehold via online auction — presented as an HMO currently producing a combined rent of £1,400 pcm. The property sits in central Hemsworth close to shops, schools and transport links, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suited to lettings or shared housing.
Internally the layout includes entrance hall, ground-floor bedroom/reception, open-plan kitchen/living, downstairs WC, four further rooms and one bathroom. The house dates from c.1900–1929 with double glazing and gas central heating; total internal area is about 1,001 sq ft offering straightforward rooming for multiple tenants.
Notable positives include immediate rental income, freehold tenure and proximity to local amenities. The size and room count make it appealing to landlords seeking an HMO or houses-for-rooms conversion in a town-fringe market with cheap council tax and reasonable tenant demand.
Important drawbacks are clear: the area is classed as very deprived with high local crime rates, the property is in a small plot with no driveway, and walls are likely uninsulated (solid brick). EPC is D and there is a single bathroom for five bedrooms — renovation or upgrading may be required to improve energy efficiency and rental grading. The sale is via auction with a £3,600 administration fee payable on exchange; view legal pack for additional disbursements. Property is sold with tenants in situ but can be made vacant if required (confirm via legal pack).
