A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace set over one floor in Millfield, offered freehold and with no onward chain. The property sits close to Hylton Road with Millfield Metro within walking distance, easy access to Sunderland City Centre, Sunderland University and local amenities such as Aldi. The layout comprises lounge, kitchen, bathroom and two modest bedrooms, plus a small rear yard for bins and basic outdoor use.
The house is a solid brick Victorian build (circa 1900–1929) with double glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. At 57 sqm (613 sqft) it suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable starter home or an investor looking for a low-entry buy-to-let near transport and the university. Council Tax Band A and EPC Grade D reflect modest running costs but also scope for efficiency improvements.
Important practical points: the solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, and the property will benefit from refurbishment and modernisation to maximise comfort and value. The local area is classed as deprived with higher-than-average crime; buyers should factor this into rental potential, insurance and personal security decisions.
