A centrally located former 7-bedroom HMO in Bath, this end-of-terrace property previously produced £46,585 pa and sits just 0.6 miles from Bath Spa station. Arranged over four levels with double bedrooms throughout, two kitchens and two bathrooms, it offers clear income potential for a buy-to-let portfolio or a landlord looking to reinstate multi-occupancy use. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern tenant expectations.
The building is Victorian, freehold and stone-built, with double glazing installed pre-2002 and gas central heating. Its small plot and lack of rear garden reflect the property’s central urban setting; many rooms are medium-sized and well lit, suitable for student or professional lets. Practical features include external fire escapes and an external stairwell servicing multiple floors.
Material matters: the property will be sold at auction with immediate exchange and a 10% non-refundable deposit, plus an additional reservation fee (4.5% incl. VAT, minimum £6,600) and buyer fees — bidders should review the Buyer Information Pack before bidding. There is no direct rear access without passing through an adjoining MOT centre; access must be legally granted for essential works. The airspace above an adjacent fire escape is leased and not owned by this property. A basement level exists and should be checked by a surveyor. Walls are likely uninsulated (stone construction), so thermal upgrades may be advisable.
This is a clear proposition for investors or landlords seeking central Bath stock with strong rental history; it also suits an owner-occupier prepared for a renovation/reconversion project. Buyers should allow budget and time for any necessary refurbishment, legal/access clarifications and to meet auction completion timescales.
