This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Tollesby, Middlesbrough is listed at £185,000. The property benefits from being close to local shops, schools (including Newham Bridge Primary School and Outwood Academy Acklam, both rated as “Good” by Ofsted), and transport links. Middlesbrough train station is approximately 3.41 km away.

The house itself appears to be in need of some modernisation and updating. The provided photographs show dated décor and carpeting, and some areas, such as the wallpaper in one bedroom, show signs of damage. The kitchen and bathroom appear functional but also dated. The property includes a garden and a brick shed.

While the location is positive, the condition of the property suggests it will require some investment. The lack of square footage data for comparable properties makes a precise price per square foot comparison impossible, preventing a definitive statement on the value for money. However, considering the need for modernisation and the prices of comparable properties in the area (ranging from £140,000 to £255,000), the list price seems to be within a reasonable range for the area, though potentially at the lower end.

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