This chain-free, two-bedroom mid-terrace on Portman Street is presented as an oven-ready investment or affordable first home. The property is vacant on completion and benefits from recent works: a re-tiled main roof, UPVC double glazing, new exterior doors and a quality Worcester Bosch combi boiler — reducing immediate maintenance costs and heating concerns.
The layout suits buy-to-let or starter-occupiers: hallway, open-plan lounge/diner and a long galley kitchen on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Room proportions are generally average to generous for a terrace of this age, and the small paved courtyard offers low-maintenance outdoor space with alley access.
Important local and structural points are clear and factual. The house sits in a very deprived area with a very high crime rate; this will affect rental yields, resale prospects and some buyers’ sense of security. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated in the cavity, so further thermal upgrading (insulation) and decorating may be needed to reach modern energy standards and reduce bills.
Overall this is a compact, low-upkeep terrace presented for immediate occupancy or letting. It delivers clear short-term value through recent upgrades and location near Teesside University, but buyers should budget for optional energy improvements and weigh local-area factors when assessing long-term returns.
