Elsworth Place, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

Elsworth Place presents a standout investment opportunity in one of Cambridge’s most desirable and consistently high-demand rental areas. Currently operating as a fully licensed six-bed HMO, the property generates £4,000 net per month (£48,000 p.a.), with strong potential to increase returns through refurbishment and uplift. Offering 1,248 sq. ft. of well-arranged accommodation, its layout is ideally suited to shared living, making it a reliable and long-term investment choice.

The property sits within a quiet residential cul-de-sac and benefits from driveway parking, an increasingly rare advantage in central Cambridge. A private front door opens into a wide entrance hall that leads to all ground-floor rooms and the staircase to the first floor.

To the front of the property lies Bedroom Six, originally designed as the living room. This large double room features a wide front window and generous floor space, making it one of the most desirable rooms for tenants.

Further along the hallway is Bedroom Four, another well-proportioned ground-floor double room offering flexibility and convenience. Opposite sits the ground-floor shower room, equipped with a shower cubicle, basin, and WC, providing essential support for the two downstairs bedrooms.

At the rear of the property is the kitchen/diner, a spacious communal hub ideal for shared living. With ample worktop space, multiple storage units, room for appliances, and space for a dining table, it serves as the main social area for tenants and also provides rear access.

On the first floor, a central landing leads to four further bedrooms. Bedroom One, located at the front, is a generous double benefiting from a private en-suite WC, an excellent premium room option within the HMO. Bedrooms Two and Three, both overlooking the rear, offer spacious and bright double accommodation, while Bedroom Five, positioned above the garage, provides additional privacy due to its slight separation from the main landing.

The main bathroom completes the first floor, featuring a practical three-piece suite including a shower, WC, and basin.

Overall, the property is fully income-producing and operational in its current form, but offers clear scope for modernisation. With exceptional rental demand, Cambridge’s thriving employment hubs, and limited supply of quality shared accommodation, Elsworth Place stands out as a strong, high-yield investment with significant long-term growth potential.

The area is well served for education and employment, with highly regarded state and private schools nearby, along with Hills Road Sixth Form College. The Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the region’s largest employers, is just a short journey away, attracting professionals in healthcare, science and research, while the wider city centre offers further opportunities across academia, technology and business. Residents also benefit from quick access to Cambridge’s renowned attractions, including university colleges, museums, theatres, green open spaces and riverside walks, providing plenty of leisure and cultural options close to home.
