Low-price fixer with city access and strong rental potential.
Two double bedrooms and two reception rooms (776 sq ft total)
A traditional two-bedroom mid-terrace on Essex Street offered freehold at an entry-level price. The Victorian-built house (c.1900–1929) provides two reception rooms, a galley kitchen, bathroom, and two double bedrooms across an average-sized 776 sq ft footprint. A small courtyard garden sits to the rear with on-street parking to the front.
This property is best suited to investors or buyers prepared to renovate. The house needs updating: dated internal decor, mid-20th century fittings in parts, and older double glazing (installed before 2002). Walls are original solid brick with no known cavity insulation (assumed), so thermal upgrades would improve comfort and running costs.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and a very low council tax band. It lies close to Middlesbrough town centre, transport links and several ‘Good’ rated schools, supporting rental demand. Be aware the immediate area records above-average crime and is classified as very deprived, which affects resale and rental pricing risk.
For hands-on buyers this home offers clear scope to add value through modernisation, insulation and cosmetic refurbishment. For investors it presents a low-entry purchase at £65,000 with straightforward rental potential, but factor in repair, improvement and local market considerations before committing.
