A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian house close to Middlesbrough town centre and transport links. The property sits on a small plot with a courtyard-style rear garden and on-street parking to the front. Offered freehold at an entry-level price, it presents clear scope for refurbishment or rental conversion.
Internally there are two reception rooms, a galley kitchen and first-floor bathroom, with two double bedrooms above. The property shows dated mid-20th-century decorative finishes, and requires updating to modern standards. Construction is solid brick with assumed no wall insulation; double glazing was fitted before 2002 and the gas boiler and radiators provide mains gas heating.
This is principally an investor or hands-on buyer opportunity: the low asking price and compact layout suit buy-to-let or a value-led refurbishment. Important considerations: the neighbourhood records above-average crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which will affect lettings, resale values and insurance costs. Council tax is very cheap, which is a running cost positive.
Nearby amenities and several 'Good' Ofsted-rated schools are within walking distance, and the location offers excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — positives for tenants or owners wanting connectivity. Buyers should budget for renovation works (cosmetic and possible fabric improvements such as insulation) and obtain surveys before committing.
