A sizable mid-terrace Victorian property offering strong rental potential close to Plymouth University and Mutley Plain. Currently configured as a 6/7-bedroom HMO across approximately 1,669 sq ft, the house suits investors seeking an income-producing building or a buyer wanting to restore a spacious family home. Period features such as bay windows, high ceilings and mouldings give character and appeal to students and professionals in the cosmopolitan neighbourhood.
The property is freehold, centrally located with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for multiple tenants or home workers — and benefits from two bathrooms and a rear courtyard. Practical positives include mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown), and low council tax running costs.
Buyers should note the property sits in a relatively deprived area and occupies a small plot; this affects long-term capital growth and appeal to some owner-occupiers. The solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), and the listing advises services and measurements have not been tested. The house will need inspection and likely refurbishment or upgrade works (electrics/insulation/dated fittings) before any change of use or to maximise rental value.
Overall this is a straightforward investment play: close to university demand, period charm, and clear scope for added value through targeted renovation, energy improvements and professional management. Prospective purchasers should arrange a full survey and tenancy/service checks before purchase.
