This two-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian property on Straker Street is offered chain-free and available immediately, making it a quick purchase option for investors or buyers prepared to renovate. The layout includes a generous front lounge, ground-floor bathroom, kitchen and two first-floor bedrooms across about 705 sq ft. Key practical features include mains gas central heating, a combi boiler, and uPVC double glazing installed after 2002.
The house requires renovation and some remedial works: visible damp and mould in the lounge, staining to carpets and plaster damage, and general updating throughout. The property sits on a very small plot with an enclosed rear yard, and the area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime; prospective buyers should factor refurbishment, security measures and local market conditions into their plans.
For a buy-to-let investor the property offers clear potential: low council tax, freehold tenure, a city-centre location close to amenities and good local schools, and a compact footprint suited to rental demand in a constrained-renter area. For an owner-occupier this is a budget entry into Hartlepool that will need time and money to modernise but can deliver a comfortable period home once improved.
