For sale by Unconditional Online Auction.
On behalf of Arbor Property Limited - Shropshire

Heatherlea is a prominent semi-detached landmark property at the head of Coton Crescent in Shrewsbury.

The property is currently configured as a 6 bed HMO. It has 3 shower rooms and an additional toilet.

Several of the rooms benefit from a sink and so present the opportunity to create ensuites.

On the ground floor there is a communal kitchen and living room, with a further reception room which is currently used for storage by the owner. These areas could be combined to produce a real wow-factor living/kitchen/entertaining space. There is also a large utility room with ideal bike storage space.

The property has two off road parking spaces and a garden area to the front of the house.

The HMO is fully tenanted but the vendor has not increased the room rates for some time and so the yield against the properties current value does not reflect the earning potential of the property. Some of the tenancies have run for a considerable amount of time. The current rental rate is £365pm, in a refurbished condition the property could achieve in the region of £550pm per room.

The property requires some updating and could be reconfigured to increase capacity and revenue.
