This three-bedroom terraced house located on Fulbeck Road, Middlesbrough, presents a mixed bag of features. Its key strengths lie in its reasonably convenient location near good schools and public transport options in a relatively family-friendly area. The property’s proximity to Priory Woods School, rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, is a significant selling point for families. Also convenient is Pennyman Primary Academy which has a ‘Good’ rating. The train stations are a good distance however several options are available for families looking for transportation.

However, the property’s condition requires considerable attention. The photographs clearly show outdated interiors, including the kitchen and bathroom, which will likely need complete renovations. While the house appears structurally sound, the aesthetic appeal is significantly diminished due to the age and lack of recent updates. This is likely to reduce the property’s value and create additional expenses for potential buyers.

The size of the garden is small but adequate for a terraced house. It is not excessively large but provides some outdoor space.

The asking price of £94,950 sits within the range of similar properties in the vicinity, considering the need for refurbishment. Although some nearby properties show lower prices, their conditions might not be comparable. Buyers should factor in renovation costs into their budget. Overall, this property would be suitable for a buyer willing to take on a renovation project, prioritizing the location and school options, while accepting the need for significant modernisation and a small garden.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
