For Sale by Auction is this 5-6 Bed Spacious HMO or Family Home in Balby, Doncaster.
This substantial and flexible terraced property in Balby is registered with the local council as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) and presents an excellent opportunity for investors or those seeking a large family home. While it has been let to only three tenants (so no licence has been required), the property meets the criteria for six occupants and is ideally suited for continued HMO use — or equally adaptable as a 5-bedroom family residence.
Importantly, no structural alterations or conversion work is required. The existing layout naturally supports both uses. For instance, the ground-floor dining room has an en-suite shower room that is neatly tucked away and completely unobtrusive when used as a traditional reception space.
