About
This property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial six-bedroom mid-terrace property with full HMO licensing, vacant possession on completion and no onward chain.
The property now requires refurbishment throughout, giving the next owner clear scope to modernise, reconfigure and improve the accommodation to suit their intended use.
For investors, the existing HMO licence and six-bedroom layout provide a strong foundation to enhance rental performance and long-term asset value.
Equally, the property could be reimagined as a generous family home, subject to any necessary consents, with flexible accommodation and excellent potential to create larger, more practical living spaces.
A key feature is the large rear garden, which significantly strengthens the overall appeal.
The property also benefits from side access from the front of the house through to the garden, adding further practicality and convenience.
Front Garden / Approach The property is set back from the pathway, creating a more private approach to the house.
This also gives the frontage a better sense of separation and provides useful space before entering the property.
Entrance Hall The property is entered into a generous porch which provides a practical covered arrival point before entering the main hallway with a clear central route through the ground floor accommodation.
The hall gives access to the main ground floor rooms, with the staircase rising to the first floor. Its size and layout create a practical sense of arrival.
Bedroom Two / Front Reception Room (3.85 m x 3.94 m (12'8" x 12'11")) Positioned at the front of the property, this is a large double room with a bay window, excellent proportions and good natural light.
Currently arranged as a bedroom, it could also serve as a formal sitting room if the property was converted back into a family home.
Bedroom Four With Ensuite (2.96 m x 3.63 m (9'9" x 11'11")) Located to the rear of the ground floor, this is another sizeable bedroom benefiting from its own ensuite, making it particularly suitable for HMO use or guest accommodation.
Kitchen / Dining Area (5.45 m x 3.19 m (17'11" x 10'6")) Located towards the rear of the property, the kitchen/dining area provides a practical communal space with direct access towards the rear section of the house and garden.
It offers clear scope for modernisation and improvement.
Utility Room (3.39 m x 4.85 m (11'1" x 15'11")) A useful utility space positioned off the rear part of the property, adding valuable practicality and additional storage.
Ground Floor WC A convenient separate WC serving the ground floor accommodation. First Floor Landing The landing provides access to the first-floor bedrooms and main bathroom.
Bedroom Three (3.49 m x 3.97 m (11'5" x 13'0")) A large double bedroom positioned at the front of the first floor, offering excellent space, strong natural light and comfortable proportions.
Bedroom One (3.80 m x 3.96 m (12'6" x 13'0")) A further generous double room on the First floor, offering flexible use as part of the existing HMO layout.
Bedroom Five (2.08 m x 3.20 m (6'10" x 10'6")) Another well-sized single bedroom on the first floor, providing versatile accommodation for either investment use or family living.
Bedroom Six (2.78 m x 2.30 m (9'1" x 7'7")) A further single bedroom on the first floor, ideal as part of the existing six-bedroom arrangement, with potential to be used as a study, nursery or dressing room if reconfigured.
Bathroom The main bathroom serves the first floor and offers scope to be updated as part of the wider refurbishment.
Rear Garden A standout feature of the property is the large rear garden, providing generous outdoor space for tenants, families or future landscaping.
The property also benefits from side access from the front through to the rear garden, adding excellent practicality.
