Chain-free 3-bed terrace close to North Tees Hospital — low price, needs updating.
Chain-free with vacant possession
This three-bedroom mid-terrace on Wrekenton Close is offered chain-free with vacant possession — a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers or investors. The house extends to about 937 sq ft, with a large main bedroom, a spacious kitchen and a conservatory-style garden room that adds flexible living space.
Practical features include double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas central heating and a filled cavity wall. The property sits close to North Tees Hospital and local amenities, making it convenient for commuting or rental demand. Street parking and a small rear garden add everyday practicality.
Be realistic about location and condition: the area scores high on deprivation indices and recorded crime is above average, which may affect buyer appeal or rental yields. The front and rear gardens need landscaping and some internal updating is expected — appliances in the kitchen are dated and décor is tired in places. The house was built in the 1950s–1960s, so buyers should consider standard mid‑century maintenance and a check of services and roof.
At £70,000 and with very low council tax, this property represents a low-entry-price opportunity for an owner-occupier seeking a starter home or an investor prepared to refurbish. Its strengths are location and size for the price; the drawbacks are the neighbourhood profile and need for cosmetic and potentially mechanical updating.
