216, The Hollow, Bath, BA2 1NG

Full Description HMO Consent | 3 Double Bedrooms | EPC C (2034) | Parking | Comprehensively Refurbished A comprehensively refurbished three-bedroom property with small HMO planning consent, EPC rating C (valid until 2034) and private off-street parking, located in the BA2 area of Bath with convenient access to the city centre and both university campuses.

The property provides three well-proportioned double bedrooms (approximately 12.5 sq m to 14.3 sq m) currently arranged for shared occupation, offering comfortable accommodation for professional or student tenants.

All bedrooms are of regular rectangular shape, creating practical and spacious living areas.

Bath benefits from strong tenant demand driven in part by the large student populations of University of Bath and Bath Spa University, together hosting approximately 25,000 students.

Refurbishment & Condition The property has been comprehensively refurbished in recent years, creating a well-presented and low-maintenance asset.

Improvements include: Modern fitted kitchen new shower room redecoration throughout new carpets replacement windows installed in 2024 (fensa certified) These upgrades provide comfortable accommodation for tenants while helping minimise near-term maintenance requirements for future owners.

Planning & Compliance The property benefits from established small HMO planning consent (C4 use) and sits within an area governed by the Article 4 Direction (Bath HMOs) administered by Bath and North East Somerset Council.

Under these planning rules, converting a standard residential property into an HMO now requires planning permission, meaning opportunities to acquire established compliant HMOs are increasingly limited in many parts of the city.

Compliance documentation includes: EPC Rating C (valid until 2034) Electrical Installation Condition Report (eicr) valid until 2029 Current Gas Safety certification fensa certification for replacement windows (2024) These factors place the property within the higher-performing segment of Bath’s existing HMO housing stock, particularly in light of anticipated future EPC requirements for rental properties.

Accommodation The property currently provides: Three large double bedrooms used as letting rooms Additional occasional spare room upstairs Two reception rooms (one currently utilised as a bedroom) Well-maintained communal living space Kitchen and shower room facilities serving the household The layout offers flexibility for purchasers wishing to continue operating the property as a compliant HMO or adapt it for residential use.

Location The property is situated in the BA2 area of Bath with convenient access to the city centre and regular bus services serving both university campuses.

Local shops and amenities are within easy walking distance, while the surrounding neighbourhood retains a largely residential character with relatively low HMO concentration compared with some traditional student districts.

Parking The property benefits from private off-street parking together with unrestricted on-street parking, an increasingly valuable feature for shared accommodation within Bath.

Investment Potential The house has historically been let to professional sharers, prioritising a stable and well-maintained household environment.

The configuration also offers potential for continued HMO use or repositioning within the student market, subject to purchaser preference.

Vacant possession will be available, allowing buyers to implement their preferred letting strategy. Fixtures, fittings, furnishings and white goods may be included by negotiation.
