About this home

A five-bedroom, licensed HMO investment property in a convenient Cambridge location, currently producing a rental income of £1,850 per calendar month (£22,200 per annum), representing a gross yield of approximately 5.2% against the £425,000 guide price. The property has previously achieved £2,450 per calendar month, equivalent to an indicative gross yield of 6.9%. Arranged over three floors and extending to approximately 1,051 sq ft, the property benefits from an existing tenancy and HMO licence. Offered for sale with no onward chain.

14A Oyster Row provides five bedrooms, communal kitchen/living/dining accommodation and two bathroom facilities, including an en-suite shower room to the ground-floor bedroom. Its established HMO arrangement offers an investor an opportunity to acquire a property with an existing rental income rather than starting from an empty property.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall leading to the principal communal accommodation. The kitchen/living/dining room provides space for both food preparation and shared seating and dining, with fitted kitchen units, work surfaces and space for freestanding appliances. An inner lobby leads to a separate cloakroom with WC and wash basin. Bedroom one is also situated on this floor and benefits from its own en-suite shower room.

On the first floor are two further bedrooms, comprising a good-sized double and a single room, together with the main bathroom, fitted with a bath and shower over. Stairs continue to the second floor, where two additional single bedrooms complete the five-bedroom accommodation.

The property occupies a particularly convenient position for access to Cambridge city centre, Anglia Ruskin University and Cambridge North Station. Midsummer Common and Stourbridge Common are also within easy reach, while the Chisholm Trail provides useful walking and cycling connections across the city. This location supports its appeal to the established student and professional rental markets.

Externally, there is a small frontage providing useful bicycle and bin storage. There is no rear garden, and parking is on street.

The current tenants have indicated that they would be willing to consider vacating with a couple of months' notice should a sale be agreed, although they have expressed a preference to remain until May 2027. This provides potential flexibility for an incoming purchaser, subject to the agreed tenancy arrangements.

An established five-bedroom HMO with a current rental income, an HMO licence and a proven rental history, offering an opportunity for investors seeking an income-producing property in Cambridge. Further tenancy and licensing information is available on request.

Oyster Row is located just off Stanley Road, in a convenient position to the east of Cambridge city centre and close to the River Cam. The property is particularly well placed for access to Stourbridge Common, Ditton Meadows and Midsummer Common, providing attractive green spaces and extensive walking and cycling routes into the historic city centre.

The location also benefits from excellent cycle and pedestrian connections towards Cambridge North Railway Station. The nearby Chisholm Trail provides a largely traffic-free walking and cycling route through the area, crossing the River Cam via the Abbey-Chesterton Bridge and continuing towards Cambridge North Station. The station provides regular rail services and also connects with the Guided Busway and wider cycle network.

A good range of everyday amenities is available locally, including supermarkets, gyms, shops, pubs and takeaways. Anglia Ruskin University and Cambridge city centre are readily accessible by bicycle or on foot, with Cambridge North Railway Station, the Science Park and other major employment areas on the northern side of the city also easily accessible by cycle. The combination of rail connections, established cycle routes and proximity to the city centre makes this a particularly convenient location for tenants, students and professionals.
