HMO Projects

Hitchin and Havelock Road Projects

This transformation embodies the Alma Road ethos — creating functional living spaces without sacrificing style. We delivered six fully private suites, all finished to a refined specification to appeal to discerning young professionals.

From Disrepair to Design-Led 6-Bed HMO with Studio Opposite the Park Once a tired and overcrowded property, Havelock Road has undergone a complete architectural and interior rebirth. Now a high-spec, fully licensed 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom HMO with a self-contained studio, this property pairs impeccable design with unbeatable convenience — directly opposite the park and just moments from the station. A full extension and a loft conversion which gave us the space to create the space.

Before: A Home Overwhelmed by Clutter and Chaos
The original house was dark, disorganised, and bursting with unused potential. Rooms were used for storage rather than living, the conservatory was a dumping ground, and the kitchen and utility areas lacked flow and functionality. The garden, once an afterthought, was overgrown and littered.

After: A Premium Living Experience for Today’s Tenants
This is no ordinary HMO. It’s a thoughtfully curated space designed to meet the expectations of modern professional renters:

Five Ensuite Bedrooms
Each room includes built-in wardrobes, wall-mounted lighting, dedicated desk space, and elegant headboards — creating a hotel-like experience in a shared home.

Self-Contained Loft Studio
With Velux windows, a private kitchenette, designer lighting, and a sleek ensuite, the loft studio offers independent living potential or a high-yield premium room.

Bespoke Kitchen & Living Space
The heart of the home now features two-tone cabinetry, quartz worktops, designer lighting, and integrated appliances — opening into a chic lounge with garden views and patio doors.

Dedicated Utility Room
A separate laundry and storage zone keeps shared spaces clutter-free and efficient.

Landscaped Garden Retreat
Now paved and bordered with low-maintenance planting, the outdoor space invites use year-round — ideal for co-living tenants seeking both privacy and connection.

Location + Finish = An Investment-Grade Asset
With direct views over the park and walkable access to the station, Havelock Road is positioned for strong, consistent rental demand. The transformation from neglected home to luxury HMO ensures premium yields and long-term appeal.
