Central refurbishment project near university and transport hubs for investors.
Victorian terrace with front bay window
Freehold three-bedroom layout across two storeys
Close to Teesside University and town centre amenities
Excellent transport links; near Middlesbrough train station
Requires full refurbishment throughout; cosmetic and likely mechanical
High local crime and very deprived area — affects lettings/resale
Small plot with no garden; limited external space
Low council tax band and compact running costs
This three-bedroom Victorian terrace on Aire Street is a clear refurbishment project with strong short-term uplift potential. Situated within walking distance of Teesside University and Middlesbrough town centre, the location supports buy-to-let demand from students and local professionals. The house retains period features such as a front bay window and conventional room proportions that respond well to straightforward modernisation.
The property is freehold with a compact footprint and an efficient nine-room layout across two storeys. Excellent transport links and proximity to local amenities make it practical for long-term rental, while a low council tax band keeps running costs down. With investment and refurbishment the house could achieve a meaningful increase in value and rental return.
Buyer note: the property requires substantial renovation throughout — cosmetic and likely mechanical works will be needed. The area is classified as very deprived and the immediate neighbourhood records high crime levels; these factors will affect tenant profiles, resale timing, and lettings strategy. There is no rear garden and the plot is small, so refurbishment should prioritise internal reconfiguration and modern finishes to maximise appeal.
For an investor comfortable working in higher-yield, higher-risk locations, this house offers an affordable entry price and clear scope to add value. For renovators, the combination of period character and central location provides a straightforward conversion into a rented property or resale-grade family home once updated.
