Description

Boydens presents an exciting investment opportunity for those looking to expand their portfolio—a five-bedroom licensed HMO with four years remaining on the license.

Upon entry, the property welcomes you into a communal lounge area, providing access to the downstairs bedroom and the spacious bathroom. It's worth noting that maximising yield could involve proportioning the bathroom into two wash facilities, enhancing the property's functionality. From the communal lounge, an inner hall leads to the lobby/dining space and stairs to the first floor, where you'll find four additional bedrooms. The kitchen, equipped with a range of base and eye-level units, as well as the gas boiler, is also accessible from this area.

Externally, the property features a block-paved driveway to the front, although it's important to mention that there's currently no drop curb for access to this space. The rear garden primarily consists of paved areas with a small raised grass section.

In summary, this licensed HMO offers a lucrative opportunity for investors seeking to capitalize on the demand for rental properties. With its strategic location and potential for maximising yield, this property promises to be a valuable addition to any investment portfolio.
