Description

This four-bedroom House of Multiple Occupation (HMO) presents a promising investment opportunity, ideally located near the University of Southampton Highfield Campus. With a history of successful management as a student rental, this property is positioned to appeal to the thriving student demographic. Currently tenanted for the 2025–2026 academic year, it ensures immediate rental income upon acquisition. The layout spans two floors, beginning with a hallway that includes a sizable walk-in cupboard—an excellent candidate for conversion into an additional cloakroom or wet room, pending necessary permissions. The ground floor features two adaptable reception rooms, which can serve either as communal living spaces or additional bedrooms, providing versatile accommodation options. At the back of the house, a kitchen equipped with essential base and wall-mounted cabinetry connects directly to the rear garden, enhancing functionality. On the upper floor, three additional bedrooms are accessible via the first-floor landing alongside a communal shower room featuring modern amenities such as a glazed shower enclosure and tiled finishes. Externally, the property offers both front and rear gardens along with off-road parking facilitated by a driveway. There is potential for extensions (subject to planning permission), making this property an attractive option for future enhancements. This established HMO in a prime location represents not only immediate income through current tenancy but also considerable long-term growth potential.
