This two-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian house sits in central Middlesbrough (TS1), offering straightforward freehold ownership and flexible sale terms — available with or without the current tenant. The property’s bay-windowed façade and rear enclosed yard give period character and private outdoor space within a compact urban plot.
Internally the layout is traditional: entrance, lounge (currently used as a bedroom), rear sitting room, kitchen and ground-floor shower room, with two bedrooms upstairs. Rooms are generally compact and the kitchen and bathroom are dated, so the house suits a buyer prepared to update fixtures and finishes to add value.
Practical positives include very cheap Council Tax (Band A), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for tenants or home-workers. Note the area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels, and from July 2023 the property falls inside a selective licensing zone, which may incur additional licensing costs and responsibilities for owners.
This property is most likely to appeal to investors seeking a low-entry-price rental unit in town centre TS1, or to an owner-occupier willing to carry out modest refurbishment. The combination of freehold tenure, central location and clear renovation potential makes it a pragmatic purchase for those who factor local licensing and area circumstances into their plans.
