Affordable freehold near university — ideal for refurbishment or rental.
No onward chain, freehold ownership
A practical two-bedroom terraced house close to Teesside University and Middlesbrough town centre, offered with no onward chain. The property is freehold, with UPVC double glazing, gas central heating via a combi boiler, and a private enclosed rear yard. At about 663 sq ft, the layout includes an entrance vestibule, open-plan living/dining room, ground-floor bathroom and two first-floor bedrooms. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low.
The house sits in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood and suits an investor or buyer willing to refurbish. The accommodation is dated and needs updating — carpets, finishes and kitchen units show mid-20th-century wear — but the straightforward plan and local rental demand create clear potential for a rental or starter-home conversion. There is no flood risk and mobile/broadband provision is strong.
Important considerations: the area records very high crime and is classed as very deprived, and the plot is very small. The property lies within a selective licensing zone; purchasers may incur licensing costs. These factors affect suitability and running costs and should be checked before offers.
For someone seeking an affordable, freehold purchase near the university, this house offers a low-entry-price opportunity to add value through renovation and management. For owner-occupiers, it provides basic, economical accommodation centrally located for shops, transport and local schools.
