Affordable two-bedroom semi with garden and driveway — ideal for first-time buyers willing to renovate.
- Two double bedrooms, two reception rooms
A practical two-bedroom semi-detached home in North View offering clear starter-home potential. The ground floor provides two reception rooms, a kitchen with direct access to a utility/store and an easily maintained private rear garden. Off-street parking on the front driveway adds convenience in a residential street with good local shops and transport links to Sunderland city centre.
Internally the house has two double bedrooms and a first-floor wet room. Double glazing was installed post-2002 and the property uses mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. With approximately 928 sq ft and a straightforward layout, this house suits buyers seeking an affordable home to update and personalise.
Important negatives are candid: the property needs renovation and updating throughout, and it sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate. The plot is small and the wet room may not suit those wanting a traditional bath. Buyers should factor renovation costs into their budget.
For first-time buyers or investors seeking value in need-of-work stock, the freehold tenure, inexpensive council tax banding and strong transport and local school connections are definite positives. The home offers scope to add modern finishes and increase value with targeted improvements.
