Summary - 5 ROYCROFT ROAD FILTON BRISTOL BS34 7NL
6 bed 6 bath Semi-Detached
Ready‑let student investment near UWE with development upside.
Licensed 6‑bed HMO, five en‑suite plus separate shower room
A high-yield, licensed 6-bedroom HMO in central Filton, offered freehold and currently let to students. The property generates £58,320pa (c.10% gross yield) from six large rooms—five en-suite—with a modern kitchen-diner, communal living space and double glazing throughout. Off-street parking for four cars and a substantial rear courtyard increase tenant appeal.
The site includes a rear parcel of land and loft conversion plans, presenting realistic scope for additional rooms subject to planning (STPC). A recent comparable Sui Generis permission nearby and existing permitted-development history strengthen redevelopment prospects, but the property sits within an Article 4 area so any change of use requires careful planning consideration.
Practical running costs are noted (landlord-reported bills c.£400/month) and the house benefits from mains gas heating and fast broadband—key for student tenants. Important negatives to note: the location records above-average crime levels, the property sits in an Article 4 area which restricts permitted changes of use, and some planned value uplifts (loft/rear development) will require planning consent.
