A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace positioned a short walk from Teesside University, this freehold property offers straightforward rental potential for investors targeting students or nearby workers. The layout features an open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner with internal sliding doors, a ground-floor bathroom and two first-floor bedrooms, one with a small adjoining room suitable for storage or a tiny study.
The house has practical upgrades including UPVC double-glazed windows, a composite front door and mains gas central heating, which reduce immediate capital spend. Construction dates to the early 20th century with solid brick walls; some thermal improvement works may be needed as wall insulation is not evident. Overall size and a very small plot suit lettings rather than family living.
Important negatives are candid: the area records very high crime and is classed as very deprived, and the property requires modernisation internally (compact rooms, low ceilings in places). There is no front garden and outdoor space is minimal. Council Tax Band A keeps holding costs low, and the freehold title simplifies long-term ownership for a buy-to-let strategy.
For a buyer seeking a near-campus, low-entry investment with scope to refresh the interior and improve yield, this terrace presents a clear, manageable project. For purchasers prioritising space, quiet neighbourhoods or immediate move-in condition, the property will feel too small and in need of works.
