A chain-free, three-bedroom first-floor flat on Durham Road, offered with a 99-year lease and an EPC rating of B. At 71 sq metres (764 sq ft) the apartment sits in a secure, gated mid-terrace complex with communal gardens and on-site parking, well placed for city and transport links. The location is convenient for the university and local amenities, making it suited to investors or buyers wanting quick access to Sunderland city centre.
The property has clear rental and refurbishment potential but requires some updating: the main bathroom shows signs of damp and mould and will need renovation. Internal accommodation includes lounge, kitchen, three bedrooms (principal with en suite) and a family bathroom. Services are mains gas with gas boiler and radiators; glazing is modern double glazing.
Buyers should note material negatives factually: the neighbourhood records very high crime and is in a deprived urban area, which may affect resale or lettings and insurance costs. The tenure is leasehold with 99 years remaining — purchasers should check lease terms and service charges. Overall, this is a practical, affordable purchase for investors or someone prepared to carry out cosmetic and bathroom works to realise value.
