This compact semi-detached home on Richardson Road offers a practical, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers or investors seeking reliable rental potential. The house is freehold and arranged over two floors, with two double bedrooms, a modern fitted kitchen/diner with integrated appliances, and a useful utility room that adds flexibility for laundry and storage. A bright living room with a feature fireplace provides a comfortable main living space.
Outside, a large paved driveway provides secure off-street parking for multiple vehicles, and a small enclosed rear garden with patio seating offers low-maintenance outdoor space. At around 796 sq ft, the property is easy to manage and benefits from fast broadband and reasonable public transport links via the nearby A66 and Thornaby train station.
Buyers should note local social and economic challenges: the area records a high crime rate and is in a very deprived locality, which can affect long-term resale values and tenant demand. The plot is small and the property is an average-sized mid-20th-century build—buyers wanting larger gardens or premium neighbourhoods should factor this in. Council Tax band A and the freehold tenure are clear financial positives.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-presented two-bedroom home that suits first-time purchasers seeking affordable ownership or investors looking for an entry-level buy in Thornaby. A viewing is recommended to assess the property and location in person.
