Description
This three-bedroom terraced house in Southampton’s Polygon is currently arranged as an HMO and is stated to produce £1,500 per month in rent. The accommodation may also suit use as a family home, subject to the buyer’s requirements.
The ground floor includes a bay-fronted bedroom that could also serve as a second reception room, a separate living room, a galley kitchen, a utility room and a WC. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a shower room. The property is described as requiring modernisation, giving a purchaser scope to update the interiors and make changes to suit their intended use.
A good-sized rear garden provides outdoor space with potential for landscaping. The Polygon location is close to Southampton city centre, local shops and hospitality venues, with the railway station, university campuses, transport links and Southampton Common also within reach.

Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £230,000, this three-bedroom Polygon terrace is priced below the local average at £278 per sq ft versus £299, giving buyers a relatively inexpensive entry point. Its usable living space and bedrooms make the light modernisation feel like a chance to refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes, while the flexible layout, current HMO use and good-sized rear garden add to its appeal for investors or owner-occupiers.
The main checks are the marks near the bathroom ceiling and the localised deterioration to the painted frontage. The property scores as a potential opportunity rather than a standout bargain overall, so the modest price advantage is best weighed against the scope to improve it and its convenient Polygon location.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes as a focused cosmetic project.
- Make use of the flexible layout and current HMO configuration, or adapt the accommodation for family living.
- Improve the frontage and landscape the good-sized rear garden to enhance the home's presentation and outdoor space.
Key risks
- Investigate the bathroom ceiling marks before making good, and check the localised frontage paint/render deterioration.
- The overall economics are moderate, so keep the improvement scope proportionate to the relatively modest price advantage.
