About this property
Established 8 Room HMO Property Fully Let For The Next Academic Year
Additional Commercial Unit Currently Operating As A Hair And Beauty Salon
Multiple Income Streams With Strong Investment Potential
Rear Access Parking And Lock Up Garage
A Rare And Unique Investment Opportunity
A Must See Property To Appreciate
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly versatile investment property, ideally situated along Gwydr Crescent in the heart of the ever-popular Uplands.
Properties of this nature, combining a well-established HMO with an adjoining commercial premises, garage and off-road parking, seldom come to the market and this impressive property is certain to attract considerable interest from investors looking for a strong and diverse income-producing asset.
The principal dwelling is an attractive end-of-terrace property which has been thoughtfully arranged over three floors to provide accommodation currently utilised as an HMO, with three apartment-style arrangements offering a total of eight excellent rental rooms.
Presented in immaculate condition throughout, the property has been carefully maintained and provides a particularly appealing investment opportunity, with all eight rooms currently let for the forthcoming academic year. This provides a purchaser with the significant advantage of an established rental income stream from day one, together with the potential to achieve an attractive annual yield.
The residential accommodation is accessed via a communal hallway and immediately provides a sense of the scale and quality of the property.
The ground floor apartment comprises an entrance hallway leading into a spacious communal lounge and kitchen, with three well-proportioned bedrooms and a shower room completing this level.
Moving upwards, the first-floor apartment provides a further communal lounge, fitted kitchen and inner hallway leading to two generous bedrooms and a bathroom.
The second-floor apartment continues the impressive accommodation, comprising a particularly versatile lounge, dining area and kitchenette, with an inner hallway providing access to a further three bedrooms and a shower room.
Across the three floors, the property therefore provides eight impressive rental rooms, all currently occupied for the next academic year.
The accommodation offers a combination of communal living space, well-sized bedrooms and practical facilities, making it particularly well suited to the strong student and professional rental market associated with the Uplands area.
However, it is the additional commercial element that makes this property particularly unusual and sets it apart from a standard HMO investment.
To the side of the main dwelling is a separate commercial unit which is currently trading successfully as a hairdressing and beauty salon. This provides an additional dimension to the investment, with an existing commercial use and the potential to continue the current arrangement or, subject to the necessary permissions, explore alternative uses in the future.
For an investor, the combination of residential and commercial income provides an attractive level of diversification from a single property.
Further enhancing the property's appeal is the accompanying lock-up garage, together with off-road parking, which are valuable and increasingly sought-after assets in such a popular and densely occupied part of Swansea.
The main dwelling also benefits from a dedicated fire escape, an important practical feature given the property's established HMO use.
The location is undoubtedly another major attraction. Situated in the heart of Uplands, the property is ideally positioned for access to the area's wide range of shops, cafés, bars, restaurants and everyday amenities, whilst also being conveniently placed for Swansea city centre and the university. Uplands remains an exceptionally popular location for student and professional tenants alike, helping to underpin continued demand for quality rental accommodation.
From an investment perspective, the property offers a compelling combination of scale, location, existing occupancy and versatility. The residential accommodation is already established as an eight-room HMO and is fully let for the forthcoming academic year, whilst the adjoining commercial unit provides a further income-producing opportunity. The garage and parking add yet another valuable element to the overall package. For an investor seeking a substantial property with multiple income streams and the potential for long-term capital growth, this is an opportunity that deserves serious consideration. The combination of an established HMO, eight rental rooms, an adjoining commercial business premises, garage and off-road parking creates a proposition that is rarely available in Uplands, particularly in such excellent condition.
Properties offering this level of accommodation and income potential are seldom available for long, and we strongly recommend an early internal inspection to appreciate not only the quality of the accommodation but also the scale and versatility of the investment as a whole.
